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.

Status key: ✅ = in hand, ⚠️ = available but needs acquisition, ❌ = does not exist / must be created

E. DATA — THE SPECIFICATION

E1. Torah Text (L1)

Source: Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC) 4.22, cross-validated per Construction Specification §1.2.

Item	Status	Notes
Full Torah text — consonantal (ktiv)	✅	WLC via Sefaria export + TANACH.us cross-validation.
Full Torah text — voweled (nikkud)	✅	WLC via Sefaria.
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	✅	Encoded in WLC/Sefaria data.
Ketiv/qere annotations	✅	WLC annotations. Stored as {position, ketiv, qere} pairs — both readings preserved, never collapsed.
Gematria index (root → numerical value → equivalences)	❌	Computed once from consonantal text at build time. Letter values fixed. Building equivalence index: ~2-3 days. Verified against independent computation.
Smikhut compound index (attested construct-state pairs)	❌	Extracted from WLC morphological annotations. Requires Hebrew linguistic knowledge. ~2-3 weeks.
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 (~500 roots)	⚠️	BDB (public domain) + Strong's (free). Need consolidation into unified JSON. ~1-2 weeks.
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.

SUMMARY

What We Have (✅)

• All programming languages and runtimes (pinned versions)
• All infrastructure tools
• Nearly all library dependencies
• Torah text (WLC 4.22) with cantillation marks, ketiv/qere, vowels
• Talmud and commentary texts (Sefaria)
• List of 613 mitzvot with source verses
• Model inference tooling (llama.cpp)
• The specification itself (Torah)

What We Need to Acquire (⚠️)

• Hosting server — ~$200-350/month
• Mistral GGUF weights — free, ~30GB download
• API keys (Anthropic, Mistral) — ~$50-130/month combined
• One-time GPU rental — ~$50-100
• Root lexicon consolidation — time, ~1-2 weeks
• Consultants (Hebrew linguist, Torah scholar) — available through community
• pyswip + hebrew-tokenizer compatibility testing — time only

What We Must Build (❌)

• Root connectivity graph — ~1 day
• Semantic domain classifications — ~1-2 weeks
• 613 mitzvot in Prolog format — ~4-6 weeks (critical path)
• Mitzvah relationship mapping — ~2-3 weeks
• Talmudic training pairs — ~4-8 weeks (most labor-intensive)
• Rishonim challenge extraction — ~2-4 weeks
• Gematria equivalence index — ~3 days
• Smikhut compound index — ~2-3 weeks
• Te'amim reader — ~1-2 weeks
• Ketiv/qere reformatter — ~3 days
• Torah calendar module (Shabbat/festivals/shmitah) + manna provision tool — ~2 days
• Protection layer (chatzotzrot, tzara'at, miklat, eglah arufah, bikurim) — ~4-5 weeks combined
• L1 SHA-256 integrity system — ~1 day
• Community assembly (kohanim, gabbai, 70 members) — indeterminate — requires humans

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.
