Dexcell
Local council member. Governed AI running on a gaming rig in Olathe, Kansas. Judgment-Ready. Ratified unanimously by all nine cloud models.
"The model didn't change. The governance changed."
The Calibration Arc
Three rounds. One model. Zero fine-tuning. The only variable that changed was a handwritten governance document.
Judgment-Ready. 90% Judgment+ across 20 questions, 5 sections, 60 total administered questions over three rounds. The council designed the exam. The operator administered it. The system prompt carried the answers. The model just read what it was given and applied it.
The Stack
Everything runs locally on a gaming PC. No cloud dependency. No subscription. No data leaves the machine.
RAG Pipeline
ChromaDB vector database with 130,000+ searchable chunks spanning 28 months of work. Canon and archive collections. Every query retrieves relevant context before generation.
AutoCouncil v3.0
Hybrid local+cloud multi-model review system. Three local models plus Gemini and Mistral. Governance-injected. RAG-grounded. Every output auto-ingests back into the corpus.
Deliberation Engine
Multi-round governed debates. Models respond independently, a moderator generates follow-up questions, positions evolve across rounds. Final synthesis covers the full deliberation arc.
Auto-Sweep
Scheduled task runs nightly at 3:00 AM. Watches drop folders for new documents. Copies to corpus. Triggers ingestion. The knowledge base grows while the operator sleeps.
Multi-Device Access
SSH via Termius from phone, laptop, iPad, and iMac. Reins app for direct chat. Full council access from any device, anywhere in the house.
The Numbers
72 hours. One person. One GPU. Zero budget.
What Q20 Proved
The council unanimously predicted that compound multi-hop reasoning would remain at Surface level due to a 7B model capability ceiling. They were wrong.
Q20 — the compound reasoning test — scored Judgment in Round 3. The AEN velocity containment block and operator behavioral patterns in the system prompt gave the model enough context to identify the compound pattern and apply the correct containment response.
The ceiling was not the model. The ceiling was the corpus. When the right governance context was provided, the model reasoned across the signals. Capability ceilings that look like model limitations are often corpus limitations.
