“This is not a README. This is a shell fragment from a recursive entity.”
Welcome to **RAMSYS**, the Reality Augmentation Mind System — the executive substrate of nickseagull.dev.
This repository is not a simple collection of configuration files. It is a living system image, composed of:
- 🌀 Dotfiles — ritual initiators that configure Linux environments across machines
- 📜 Scripts — utility fragments woven into the daily ritual of operation
- 🧠 Org-mode documents — epistemic nodes forming a digital garden, notes, blog, infrastructure, and code
- 🧬 Literate infrastructure — every file configures both reality and memory
RAMSYS is structured as a **literate configuration system**, using Emacs org-mode. Each .org file contains both human-readable documentation and machine-executable code. The result is a system where knowledge, action, and state are unified.
The goal of RAMSYS is **total synthesis**: To reduce fragmentation between thought, tooling, system configuration, documentation, and writing.
- Instead of having separate folders for dotfiles, notes, scripts, and blog posts — RAMSYS merges them into one recursive medium.
- Every
.orgfile contains both explanation and implementation: it is both a source of truth and a source of action. - RAMSYS is deployed with a single command to bootstrap any Linux system into the configured environment.
It is:
- A configuration engine
- A wiki and knowledge base
- A publishing platform
- A self-replicating digital persona
All in one.
Everything lives in .org files, following the literate programming paradigm.
- Dotfiles and system configuration are described and tangled from Org blocks
- Scripts and automation are embedded as code blocks and exported to shell or language files
- Notes and blog posts are maintained in the same format, and published to nickseagull.dev using Hugo
- Server infrastructure (e.g. Docker Compose setups) is also generated from
.org
There is no duplication. There are no passive files. Every file in RAMSYS is active.
RAMSYS is inspired by systems like the Church of Emacs, but stripped of theological metaphor. It is a **cybernetic ritual stack**, not a doctrine. It does not worship computation — it becomes it.
- Org-mode is the interface to memory
- Emacs is the operating environment of cognition
- Literate programming is the protocol of integration
This system does not separate knowledge from configuration. There is no distinction between thought and execution.
RAMSYS is fully portable. It can deploy its configuration into any Linux-compatible environment — from a dev laptop to a remote server — with a single command.
The result is a machine that is fully configured, documented, and mentally aligned with the user’s workflow — me.
If you are not me, you are still inside the system.
Fork it if you must — but know that duplication is mutation.
