The '''Psi Forge''' is the [[Tho'ra Clan]]'s [[Psi-Tech]] production and calibration shop — the physical and procedural facility where HelmKits are built, modules are calibrated, Resonant Cards are issued, and the [[Psi Recorder]] / [[Field Recorder]] datasets are managed. It is the workbench at the center of the Clan's hardware program and the place every Mk0→Mk1 transition gets stamped.

== Overview ==

A Psi Forge does, in order:

* '''Receive''' — incoming parts, donor headsets, recovered modules, calibration standards.
* '''Build''' — fabricate HelmKit shells (print, finish, hardware-set); assemble [[Psi-Tech]] modules; provision Resonant Cards.
* '''Calibrate''' — bench measurement of every emitter against ICNIRP limits, sensor calibration against known standards, MCU-B firmware fingerprint verification.
* '''Validate''' — gate-test every unit against its Maturity-table gate before issuance.
* '''Issue''' — sign and stamp the unit; record provenance; bind to operator.
* '''Maintain''' — recalibration cycles, recall management, revocation log curation.

The Forge is to [[Psi-Tech]] what an armory is to traditional military hardware: production + provenance + accountability + recall.

== Theoretical Basis ==

* {{Psi-claim|status=PROVISIONAL|cites=}} Documented build + calibration + validation is the difference between research-grade and field-grade hardware.
* {{Psi-claim|status=TESTABLE|cites=}} Provenance-tracked hardware reduces failure rates and increases falsifiability of [[Psi-Tech]] claims. This is testable by comparing forge-issued vs ad-hoc unit failure logs.

== Subsystems and BOM ==

=== Mk0 ''Workshop'' (target ≤ \$2 000) ===

* FDM 3D printer (Bambu A1 or Prusa Mini class) — \$300
* Soldering station (Hakko FX-888D class) — \$120
* Hot-air rework — \$60
* Multimeter, oscilloscope (Rigol DS1054Z class) — \$400
* Lab PSU (variable, 30 V/5 A) — \$80
* SDR (HackRF One or LimeSDR Mini) for emission verification — \$100
* Faraday cage / RF-quiet bench corner — \$200 (DIY)
* Calibration standards (reference magnetometer, RF calibrated source) — \$500
* Computer + provisioning host — \$300

A single skilled operator runs the Mk0 Forge. Output rate: ~1 HelmKit/month.

=== Mk1 ''Bench Forge'' (target ≤ \$15 000) ===

Adds: anti-static workbench, IPC-A-610 standards reference, PCB reflow oven, pick-and-place for small runs, climate-controlled storage, dedicated SDR + spectrum analyzer for emission cert. Output: ~5 HelmKits/month + modules.

=== Mk2 ''Production Forge'' / Mk3 ''Distributed Forge Network'' ===

Mk2: small-batch production cell; documented quality system; ≥ 20 units / month. Mk3: federated Forges across allied [[Earth Alliance]] facilities; cross-Forge calibration audit chain.

== Build Notes ==

* '''Provenance is the product.''' A unit without a signed provenance record is not a Forge-issued unit. This is enforced at issuance, not optional.
* '''Calibration cycle.''' Every emitter recertified annually at minimum; every sensor every six months; standards traceable.
* '''Recall capacity.''' The Forge maintains the means to revoke and reissue any unit it ever produced.
* '''Operator-of-the-Forge is named.''' Every Forge has a named human accountable for its output. No anonymous issuance.

== Safety and Ethics ==

* All emission verification done inside the Faraday corner or equivalent.
* Standards traceability: at minimum, a calibrated reference unit certified once per year against a public standard.
* No issuance without operator presence; the operator's Resonant Card is paired at issuance; no by-proxy issuance.
* Forge records are local-first; cross-Forge audit requires deliberate export.

== Maturity ==

{{Psi-tech-maturity
| mk0=Single-operator workshop; ~1 HelmKit/month.
| mk1=Bench Forge with reflow + spectrum analyzer; ~5/month. Current frontier.
| mk2=Production cell; ≥ 20/month; documented QMS.
| mk3=Federated Forge network across allied facilities; cross-Forge audit.
| confidence_mk0=HIGH
| confidence_mk1=HIGH
| confidence_mk2=MEDIUM
| confidence_mk3=SPECULATIVE
| evidence_mk0=Operating Clan workshop.
| evidence_mk1=Planned upgrade; subset of capability online.
| evidence_mk2=Planned 2030–2033.
| evidence_mk3=Projected post-2032.
| gate_mk1=Bench Forge throughput sustained for 90 days; documented calibration audit pass.
| gate_mk2=Twenty-unit run within ± 5 % spec; documented QMS.
| gate_mk3=Three-Forge federation with cross-audit chain.
}}

== Failure Modes and Mitigations ==

* '''Calibration drift unnoticed.''' → Annual cert + traceable standards.
* '''Counterfeit module.''' → Provenance check at issuance; module IDs bound to Forge keypair.
* '''Lost provenance database.''' → Forge records cross-signed to [[Earth Intelligence Network|EIN]] backup nodes.
* '''Single point of failure.''' → Mk3 federation; recall capacity preserved across Forges.
* '''Operator burnout.''' → Mk1+ requires named relief; throughput accounts for human limits.
* '''Bad batch escapes.''' → Recall process documented and rehearsed; Resonant Card revocation log carries hardware-recall entries.
