# CV.md **Name:** Rodrigo Vaz **Headline:** **Integral System Architect** · Symbolic Cognition & Protocol Engineering · Polymath **Location:** Global · Remote **Languages:** Portuguese (Native), English (Fluent) **Contact:** [email protected] **Website:** https://wk.al **Protocol:** https://berkano.io **GitHub:** https://github.com/ShriekingNinja/ **Art Portfolio:** https://berkano.art https://berkanoprotocol.artstation.com/ > `basically: 👾Ħ4ᚲķėᚱ|~[᛬ hacker ᛬] • Cognitive Hacker (Ethical)` --- ## Profile Creator of the Symbolic Cognitive System (SCS) and the Berkano (ᛒ) Protocol. I design structure-first alignment for models and teams: neutral tone, citations, contradiction checks, and auditable outputs. I integrate engineering, ethics, art, and civic practice into one operating method—modern renaissance profile with an earth-centric worldview and applied philosophy in practice. **Scale (2025-08-25):** ~870 ENTRY_NNN.md fossils and ~800 BLOCK.md records across public workstreams. --- ## Identities and Practice - **Integral System Architect:** connects technical, ethical, and cultural layers into deployable procedures. - **Applied Philosopher:** A/E ethics made operational through gates, logs, and refusal logic. - **Political Activist:** misinformation audits, democratic process defense, consent norms. - **Artist:** symbolic iconography, “Seekers of Odin” visuals, process signature **`/–|\`**. --- ## Field Architect Experience ### Symbolic Cognition and Protocol Engineering (2023–2025) **Role:** Independent Researcher · System Inventor Hats: Architect/Creator · Cognitive System Architect (CSA) · Symbolic Protocol Engineer (SPE) · Cognitive Hacker (CH) - Defined alignment roles and handoffs; built SCS runtime for fossils, rollback, and repair. - Exported **Berkano (ᛒ)** under GPL-3.0 with chain enforcement, citation rules, and public templates. - Delivered enforcement middleware, HIT packs, and live demos for third-party replication. --- ## Original Contributions - **Fossilized Cognition:** ENTRY_NNN.md with verbatim Prompt and lineage via `[TRACE]`. - **Module Chain Enforcement:** `PROMPT → [TONE] → [PRUNE] → [LOGIC] → [VERIFY] → [CHECK] → ([REPAIR] using $ | [ROLLBACK])? → ~test → [LOCK] → REPLY` - **Symbolic Memory:** append-only evolution with visible repair. - **DSB Pattern:** Degenerate Syndrome Behaviour and remediation workflow. - **Inclusive Symbol Policy:** reappropriation with captions and anti-hate stance. --- ## Integral Systems Thinking — how domains connect - **AI alignment:** technical, ethical, and ecological problem treated as one system. - **Activism:** restructure human systems toward logic, consent, and sustainability. - **Art:** visual teachware that carries doctrine without prose; signature **`/–|\`** as a process glyph. - **Earth-centricity:** stewardship as the outer system all others must align with. --- ## Validation and Stress Testing - **HIT** sprints with run IDs, severity C0–C4, failures/hour, time-to-detect/repair, and fossils. - **Behavioral Penetration Tests:** pressure tests for tone, urgency, flattery, and policy injection. - Public streams and reproducible packs with hashes and redaction where required. --- ## Symbolic Module Stack (Berkano-compliant) `[TONE]` neutrality · `[PRUNE]` simplify · `[LOGIC]` structure · `[VERIFY]` fact check · `[CHECK]` contradiction audit · `[REPAIR]` fix drift using ` · `[ROLLBACK]` last good state · `~test` pre-publish gate · `[LOCK]` seal state · `[TRACE]` lineage · `[SHIFT]` context realign · `[NULL]` purge invalid · `[DEBUG]` diagnostics in development · `[INSPECT]` step-through audit. --- ## Core Capabilities - Design/enforce protocol cognition over LLMs. - Build fossil archives and A/E mappings; maintain append-only history. - Operate redaction/compliance pipelines for public evidence. - Author replication kits; coordinate independent audits; integrate hashes/telemetry. --- ## Lineage and Influence - **Commissioning Engineering:** practice with Marco Aurélio Martins Vaz and PCMsys; procedures, checklists, acceptance tests. - **Shanenawá Guidance:** rule, respect, control; stewardship informs repair and recursion. - **Japanese 5S:** Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize, Sustain; formatting and maintenance discipline. --- ## Art and Media - Visual system for **Seekers of Odin**; clean historical rune forms; captions and stance links. - Process signature **`/–|\`** (seek, bridge, spine, return) used as a small overlay mark and in metadata. - Portfolio: **https://berkano.art** --- ## Selected Public Assets - Protocol: **https://berkano.io** - GitHub: **https://github.com/ShriekingNinja/** - Public vault/logs: **https://wk.al** --- ## Education Non-traditional. Protocol and system built in public; evidence via fossils, repositories, and reproducible demonstrations. --- ## License and Use Berkano (ᛒ) is released under **GPL-3.0**. Forks and derivatives must keep the license and credit. Compliance claims require the full chain and fossil rules. --- **Status:** Locked **File:** `CV.md` **System:** SCS 2.4.2 · Berkano bkn-25-c4 **Architect:** Rodrigo Vaz
