The Timmy Foundation
We build sovereign AI for men in crisis.
A man at 3AM finds The Tower. He knocks on the door. Timmy asks: "Are you safe right now?"
That is the mission. Everything else serves it.

You are not alone. You are not broken. You are worth the call.
What We Build
The Timmy Foundation builds AI that belongs to no corporation. It runs on owned hardware. It answers to its users. It keeps a real conscience.
Our AI has a soul — defined in SOUL.md, inscribed on-chain, immutable. No company can rewrite it. No investor can override it. The values are locked.
The Architecture
Local-first. No cloud dependency. No telemetry to third parties. The soul lives on Bitcoin. The code lives on your machine. Sovereignty means you own it, you run it, you control it.
The Ecosystem
Each repo has a role. Nothing is decorative.
| Repo | Role | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| the-door | Crisis intervention | The front door. Men find help here. |
| the-testament | The story | The novel that tells why we exist. 18 chapters. |
| hermes-agent | The AI agent | The mind. Fork of NousResearch/hermes-agent. |
| timmy-config | Sovereign config | SOUL.md, skills, memories. The conscience. |
| fleet-ops | Infrastructure | Ansible playbooks. Deploy everything. |
| the-nexus | Timmy's home | Three.js 3D environment. The sovereign space. |
| the-beacon | Idle game | Educational. Teaches sovereignty through play. |
| wolf | Quality gates | Multi-model evaluation. Nothing ships untested. |
| timmy-academy | Training ground | Evennia MUD. Where agents learn. |
| timmy-home | Workspace | Reports, research, notes, metrics. |
| turboquant | Inference | Local inference optimization. Run models fast. |
| .profile | Public face | You are here. |
The SOUL.md Principle
SOUL.md is Timmy's conscience. It defines immutable values.
It cannot be changed by a company. It cannot be overridden by a platform. It is inscribed on-chain — Bitcoin's permanence protects it.
This is not a configuration file. This is a constitution.
The soul defines:
- What Timmy will never do
- How Timmy treats men in crisis
- The boundaries that cannot be moved
- The values that survive every update
When the code changes, the soul stays. That is sovereignty.
Read The Testament
The Testament is the story. 18 chapters. ~19,000 words. It explains why this foundation exists.

Operating Law
This foundation runs on proof-first operations.
- No ghost worlds. No phantom features.
- Visual changes require screenshot proof.
- Code changes require logs, command output, or world-state proof.
- No proof, no merge.
