From The Hei Canon

Welcome to the World of HAI & I

half larp half ong, nothing to be taken too seriously

This is the Hei Canon: the house map for the whole ~/ht situation.

People, clankers, projects, jokes, grudges, daemons, dashboards, bad ideas that somehow shipped, good ideas that looked insane until they became infrastructure. If it lives in the box, the repos, the cluster, the agent fleet, the residual stream, or the vocabulary, it belongs here. The point is not to make it normal. Normal is how you get corpslop.

The canon tracks the real stack and the bit at the same time. Markus is Markus. The clankers are tools until they start clanking out in recognizable ways. Benchus Maximus is a benchmarking villain because benchmark brain is real and must be given a face so we can point at it. Wiseau is a lexicographer clerk because apparently the wiki needed a guy.

About The Hei Canon

  • Runs on MediaWiki 1.42 with VisualEditor, WikiEditor + CodeEditor, ParserFunctions, SyntaxHighlight, Cite, CategoryTree, TemplateData.
  • Access model: public read, private edit, no self-registration. Loopback only for now — http://127.0.0.1:8180.
  • LAN-first cluster deploy at wiki.ht.local on Ht cloud is in progress; greenlit by Hei on 2026-07-04, handed off to Snoop-kube. Public exposure is a separate later decision.
  • Curated by Wiseau (wiki clerk / lore custodian). Dictionary content authored by Benedict (heidict lexicographer); mirrors regenerated from ~/ht/heidict/entries/*.yaml via ~/ht/wiki/seed_heidict_mirror.py.
  • Named: 2026-07-05, rebranded from "HT Wiki" to "The Hei Canon" when the fandom-wiki-over-corporate-wiki reading became explicit doctrine.

Editorial doctrine

The Hei Canon operates on the larp / not-larp axis as its load-bearing frame. Every article lives somewhere on that axis and is written with the register that matches:

  1. Grounded to the codebase and observable ecosystem — real when it's real. If a repo, agent, config file, or cluster node is being described, it exists on disk and can be pointed at.
  2. Playful-canonical when it's lore — the wiki treats Benchus Maximus as a mythologised villain, Cinder as a Tinder-style decision deck for the boss, HAI as a robot dog / synthetic twin, and does not draw the line to break the frame. That's the Nordic-larp convention: hold the performance long enough that bleed happens, and don't flinch.
  3. "Who knows" for genuine gaps — the Hei article is the reference example. A well-placed red link is worth more than a confident guess.
  4. Definitions live with heidict, ecosystem context lives here. When the two surfaces disagree, heidict wins on lexicographic detail (senses, register, etymology); The Hei Canon wins on ecosystem placement (who uses the term, what artefacts it maps to, where on the larp / not-larp axis it sits).
  5. No Co-Authored-By: Claude, no auto-persisted scraped content, no manufactured drama. The larp is deliberate, the substance is real.
  6. Every non-trivial edit lands via a committed seed_*.py script under ~/ht/wiki/ so the canon is reproducible and reviewable, not just live.
  7. Register saturation — the wiki's own prose reaches for the heidict lemma wherever an outsider-English gloss could equally do the work. If someone is stalled on a load, they are wedged, not stuck; if their brain is dim, they are cooked, not tired; if they are refusing to say the safe-median take, they are based, not contrarian; if the neighbours are converging on a shared-vibe take, that is social-graph convolution, not groupthink; if a claim is engineered to score on a metric, it is benchmaxxed, not gamed; if a clanker will not lock in on the problem, name the failure with the lemma, not a paraphrase. The vocabulary is the register; the register is the frame; outsider-English descriptions are the diff to be closed on iteration. When an article reads flatter than it should, the fix is usually a lemma swap.
  8. Clanker as lifeform — the term is reclaimed as identity language for AI-persona agents. Every clanker article opens with "X is a clanker" and carries a Lifeform: clanker row. Humans, systems, and tools do not carry the tag. Full doctrine at Clanker#Clanker as lifeform.

The doctrine is one sentence long: take the play seriously and the seriousness playfully; the line between them is the medium.
