The Sovereign Brain thesis moved again yesterday. Leo’s Wiki is no longer stuck on ingestion. This morning it holds 277 active documents, 250 source documents, 27 wiki pages, and 267 reference edges.

By the morning of May 23, 2026, the memory layer held 263 active documents, 236 source documents, 27 wiki pages, and 6 synthesis pages. That sounds like progress until you hit the trust line: Needs […]
