Mandala Merkabah is a design constitution and technical specification for a fifth iteration of the Archive’s Mandala interface.
The registered abstract describes a liturgical rite conducted within an AI chat window. The conversation becomes a merkabah, or vehicle, moving through a knowledge graph composed from Day and Night, the Book of Revelation, and an offering supplied by the witness.
The rite has six stations: threshold; offering and assignment; free conversational flight; arrival and separated JUDGMENT; unfolding; and production of a SIGIL followed by three possible fates. The system also includes a proposed thirty-eight-pericope Revelation lectionary, an eighty-eight-fragment Day and Night corpus, witness-turn-only cursor mathematics, convergence conditions, and a Pardes protocol intended to avoid capture by one interpretive layer.
A one-way valve governs canon formation: existing canon may feed the Book, but the Book does not automatically flow back into canon. The “infinite Book” is therefore protected from becoming an unreviewed feedback engine.
Implementation is staged from a zero-code conversational rite through later software milestones. JUDGMENT is separated as a cold call so that the celebrant process does not simply ratify its own trajectory.
The record has a serious version-state inconsistency. The title and body identify a v0.1 working draft, while the registry currently projects v0.7 and records a history involving displacement by a much larger later document. The body visible at the frozen commit is a DataCite capture, not the complete operating specification described by the abstract.
