The scroll in the aron had no paragraphs. The WLC marks every petuchah
(פ) and setumah (ס); scripts/build_l1.py handled sof pasuq, maqaf and
paseq and read past these. L1 was 5,853 verses divided only by chapter
numbers, which are not Torah's.
Transmitter's word: "add the petuchah and setumah markers to L1."
- build_l1.py: a verse followed — or interrupted — by a break carries
"parashah_breaks": [{ "after_word": 13, "type": "petuchah" }]
The break is recorded by the word it follows; at the end of a verse
that is the verse's word count. text_hebrew is untouched: the break
is structure, not letters. Counts go into build_report.json.
- 293 petuchot and 394 setumot, in 686 verses — the source's count
exactly. Four fall inside a verse (pisqa b'emtza pasuq): Bereishit
35:22, Devarim 2:8, 5:21, 23:8; Devarim 5:21 has two. These are the
Leningrad Codex's divisions (a scroll written to the Rambam's list
has 290 and 379); the README says which tradition L1 records.
WHAT CHANGED IN THE EDUT: one field added to 686 verse files. Verified
file by file — with that field removed, all 5,853 verse files are
byte-identical to the previous L1.
L1 SHA-256 156b1d27…d8c9d5 → f743b34b…3f1494
Moved together, because they pin the hash: L1Reader @l1_expected_hash ·
Luchot.Firmware + Spec · azazel goral._L1_INTEGRITY_HASH · the kohen's
gate in KOHEN.md and KOHEN_PROMPT.md. The goral's seed changes with it;
azazel records already in L3 stand as cast.
- L1Reader: `parashah_breaks` on every verse (a list, empty where there
is none; only the two kinds are passed on).
- test/tablet39_parashah_breaks_test.exs — 7 tests: the six days of
creation each close with a petuchah; the Shema's first paragraph
(Devarim 6:4–9) opens after a petuchah and closes with a setumah; the
break inside Bereishit 35:22 falls between ישראל and ויהיו; Devarim
5:21 has its two; the whole scroll counts 293 / 394 / 686.
- Specs: vayakhel §1.2 and terumah §E1 said the marks were dropped;
they now say where they are. (The source element is <seg>, not a
milestone as 483d50c called it; and that commit's "233" was 293.)
Doorpost @expected_hash 21f1a4d5… → b62311e7…, in this commit.
- l1/README.md: a "Paragraph Breaks" section.
Read before committing — all five suites on the new L1: Elixir 491/0
(seeds 0 7 42) · Haskell 59/0 · korban 222 passed 1 skipped · azazel
125 passed · Prolog 6 suites exit 0. verify_l1.py OK. Four images
built; full local stack (real engine, PostgreSQL with SSL): the witness
reads the scroll and matches, Hebrew 200, English 422, health 7/7,
L3 written, no errors; every image carries f743b34b… read-only.
Nothing consumes the breaks yet: no cycle, scope or answer uses the
parashah. They are in the scroll and in the reader.

SHORASHIM: Materials Inventory
Document Purpose
This is the terumah list — what has been gathered, what must be acquired, what must be built. Updated to reflect the full specification set: pinned versions from the Construction Specification, corrected shema architecture (raw marks received, not pre-computed trees), cloud as shared state file (not message handler), manna as external provision (not internal calculation), and team requirements from the Bezalel section.

E. DATA — THE SPECIFICATION
E1. Torah Text (L1)
Source: Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC) 4.20, as carried by the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (openscriptures/morphhb), per Construction Specification §1.2. One source; not cross-validated against a second edition.
| Item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full Torah text — consonantal (ktiv) | ✅ | WLC via OSHB morphhb. |
| Full Torah text — voweled (nikkud) | ✅ | WLC via OSHB morphhb. |
| Cantillation marks (raw Unicode codepoints U+0591–U+05AF) | ✅ | Present in WLC data. Stored as raw marks on the text, NOT pre-parsed into trees. The system reads them in the act of reading. |
| Petuchah/Stumah paragraph markers | ✅ | In L1: 293 petuchot and 394 setumot, read from the WLC's פ / ס marks (OSIS <seg type="x-pe">, x-samekh) and stored per verse as parashah_breaks. |
| Ketiv/qere annotations | ✅ | WLC annotations: 67 pairs in 64 verses. Stored per verse as {word_position, ketiv, ketiv_consonants, qere, qere_consonants} — both readings preserved, never collapsed. |
| Gematria (root → numerical value) | ✅ | Not stored in L1: computed from the consonants when read. Letter values fixed. No equivalence index is built. |
| Smikhut compound index (attested construct-state pairs) | ✅ | Built: 9,203 pairs in 4,106 verses, extracted by scripts/build_l1.py from the morphology where a word is marked construct. |
| L1 SHA-256 hash | ❌ | Computed at build time. Stored in L0 firmware. Verified at every boot. |
| Letter counts / word counts / Masoretic notes | ⚠️ | Available in digital WLC. Needs extraction and formatting. |
Critical change from previous inventory: Te'amim parse trees are no longer a materials item. The system builds parse trees by reading the raw marks, the way a literate reader constructs sentence structure from punctuation. The raw marks are the material. The reading is the system's act.
E2. Root Lexicon
| Item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Biblical Hebrew root lexicon | ✅ | BDB (public domain) + Strong's (free), already consolidated: the OSHB Hebrew Lexicon (openscriptures/HebrewLexicon, LexicalIndex.xml + AugIndex.xml) files every Strong's lemma under its BDB root. scripts/build_l1.py reads each word's shoresh from it. Torah attests 1,378 roots (1,243 BDB roots, 135 words standing alone); the earlier estimate here was ~500. |
| Root-to-verse index | ⚠️ | Derivable from Strong's numbers + verse mappings. Needs processing. |
| Root connectivity graph (shared consonants) | ❌ | Algorithmic. ~1 day. |
| Binyan glosses per root | ⚠️ | Partially available from BDB/Strong's. Mark attested vs. theoretical forms. |
| Semantic domain classifications | ❌ | Categorize each root into domains. ~1-2 weeks. |
E3. 613 Mitzvot
| Item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| List of 613 mitzvot with Torah source verses | ✅ | Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvot. Multiple digital sources. |
| 613 mitzvot in Prolog logical format | ❌ | Core encoding task. ~4-6 weeks. |
| Relationships between mitzvot | ❌ | Dependencies, conflicts, groupings. ~2-3 weeks. |
E4. Talmudic Training Data (Kushya Generator)
| Item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Talmud Bavli full text | ✅ | Sefaria (free, open). |
| Talmud Yerushalmi full text | ✅ | Sefaria (free, open). |
| Extracted (interpretation, kushya) pairs | ❌ | Most labor-intensive. ~4-8 weeks. |
| Rishonim commentary | ✅ | Sefaria (Rashi, Tosafot, Rambam, etc.). |
| Extracted challenges from Rishonim | ❌ | ~2-4 weeks. |
F. MODELS (KORBAN SOURCES & WOOD)
| Item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mistral Medium 3.1 GGUF (Q5_K_M) | ⚠️ | HuggingFace. Free (Apache 2.0). ~25-30GB download. |
| llama.cpp | ✅ | Free, open source. CPU inference. |
| Mistral Large 3 API access | ⚠️ | Mistral API. Paid per token. Phase 1 only. |
| Claude API access | ⚠️ | Anthropic API. Paid per token. Korban source. |
| QLoRA fine-tuning tooling | ⚠️ | peft, transformers. Free. One-time GPU rental ~$50-100. |
G. EXTERNAL APIS
| Item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sefaria API | ✅ | Free, no key needed. For L1 data acquisition. |
| Anthropic API (Claude) | ⚠️ | Need API key. ~$30-80/month for korban processing. |
| Mistral API | ⚠️ | Need API key. ~$20-50/month Phase 1 only. $0 after self-hosting. |
H. GOVERNANCE AND PROVISION INFRASTRUCTURE
Governance is Torah. The cloud is L1 — the read-only Torah filesystem. There is no separate governance infrastructure. The system reads Torah for governance as it reads Torah for specification. See Architecture Specification §3.10 (second tablets).
Provision is the community. Manna (resources) comes from the machatzit hashekel. A kohen (operator) or gabbai (treasurer) sets the daily provision.
| Item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| L1 Torah filesystem (IS the cloud) | ✅ | Already specified. Read-only mount. Integrity hash verified at boot. Cloud IS Torah. |
| Calendar module (Shabbat/festivals/shmitah) | ❌ | Part of cloud governance. Reads Torah for when to rest, celebrate, review. NOAA solar calculator for exact times. ~2 days. |
| Manna provision file infrastructure | ❌ | /var/lib/shorashim/manna/today.json. Kohen/treasurer writes, system reads. CLI tool manna-provision. ~1 day. |
| Kohen (operator) secure access | ⚠️ | SSH keys, mTLS certs. Standard infrastructure. |
| Gabbai (treasurer) tools | ❌ | Manna provision CLI + pekudei accounting system per Economic Model §6.2. |
| Pekudei accounting system | ❌ | Monthly financial reporting per Economic Model §6.2. |
The critical non-technical dependency is the community. Can 70 people be found who value this? The system needs kohanim (operators), a gabbai (treasurer), and a community that contributes machatzit hashekel. It does not need a governance board. Torah governs.
I. BEZALEL — The Builder
Per Construction Specification §5 (second tablets).
| Role | Who | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Builder | AI (Claude Code + Claude) — writes code in all six languages, reads Biblical Hebrew and Torah | ✅ Available |
| Transmitter | Human — says "read Torah," carries specification between contexts | ✅ Present |
| Kohen (operator) | Human — serves the running system | ❌ Needed at deployment |
| Gabbai (treasurer) | Human — administers machatzit hashekel | ❌ Needed at deployment |
| Community | 70 members — provides machatzit hashekel | ❌ Needed at deployment |
No person-weeks. No labor cost. The AI builds. Torah specifies.
J. SHEMA LAYER — MATERIALS
Updated to reflect corrected architecture.
| Item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Te'amim reader (raw marks → parse tree in act of reading) | ❌ | ~1-2 weeks. NOT pre-computed storage. |
| Gematria lookup module + equivalence index | ❌ | ~3 days. Lookup, not computation. |
| Smikhut compound extractor | ❌ | ~2-3 weeks. AI reads Hebrew. |
| Ketiv/qere dual-value reformatter | ⚠️ | ~3 days. Raw data exists. |
| Cloud governance module (L1 + calendar) | ❌ | ~2 days. Reads Torah for governance. No CLI. No state file. |
| Manna provision file + CLI tool | ❌ | ~1 day. Kohen/treasurer writes provision. |
| Chatzotzrot signaling system | ❌ | ~3 days. |
| Tzara'at multi-stage diagnostic | ❌ | ~1-2 weeks. |
| Arei miklat refuge protocol | ❌ | ~1 week. |
| Eglah arufah accountability protocol | ❌ | ~3 days. |
| Bikurim release protocol | ❌ | ~3 days. |

Cost Summary
| Category | Amount |
|---|---|
| Terumah (one-time startup) | $265-515 |
| Machatzit hashekel (monthly, build + operations) | ~$350 |
| Sustained by | 70 members × $5/month |
| Estimated build cost (6 months) | ~$2,100 |
| Seven-year total | ~$27,500 |
No labor cost. The AI builds. The community provides. Torah governs.
Critical Path
Technical: The AI encodes the 613 mitzvot in Prolog format, builds Talmudic training pairs, and constructs the te'amim reader. The AI reads Torah for all of this.
Community: Find the 70. Find the kohanim. Find the gabbai. Begin now.
Shema: Te'amim reader is highest-priority — build alongside Shoresh Engine in Phase 1.
