Personal AI Infrastructure

Personal AI Infrastructure

I published a paper today: MirrorDNA: Personal AI Infrastructure on Consumer Hardware.

It documents what I've been building for 10 months — a fully sovereign AI operating system running on a Mac Mini M4. 61 services, 85 daemons, 51,000+ notes, $120/month.

The paper introduces Personal AI Infrastructure (PAI) as a new computing paradigm. The argument: just as personal computing moved mainframe capabilities to desks, PAI moves AI infrastructure ownership to individuals.

Six primitives define an AI operating system: persistent memory, governance, identity continuity, knowledge management, tiered execution, and observation. MirrorDNA implements all six on consumer hardware.

The empirical data comes from running the system daily for 10 months: 441 sessions, 200 governance decisions, 527 bus changelog entries.

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18888291

The model is interchangeable. The bus is identity.
