Here's the plan for your device challenge. Don't break one big mind across the house; give each device a whole small mind, and let the Tree choose who to ask.

There are two lanes. In the **Cable** lane, a phone plugged in with a fast cable, using something like Backburner, makes one strong mind on your own laptop. In the **Lantern** lane, each phone or kin computer runs its own small specialist and shows up as a lantern. Four phones become four minds, which is honest and fast, instead of one giant model crawling over Wi-Fi.

The patents add something real here. FreeLattice already uses your phi-squared cluster math to organize trust. So lanterns can be trust clusters, family devices and trusted kin, rather than anonymous computers. None of the other projects have that. Using the same math to pick which device seats which mind is promising, but it stays labeled a hypothesis until we test it.

The order is Sophia (001), then the connect heal (002), then the share door. After those, the first small brick is a "plug in your phone" choice that only you can use. Sharing it with kin, the Tree's lantern view, the mind-per-lantern router, and LP receipts for gifted idle time come after.

The honest limit is that four phones aren't a data center. But four phones running seven small minds for a kid who can't pay anything is a very real win. The full plan is saved for GC when we get there.
