Programmed Interface Compression
Turn experience into infrastructure.
Programmed Interface Compression finds the hidden structure inside repeated work, removes unnecessary repetition, and builds what works into shared state -- so less instruction produces more capability.
01
Four layers. One idea.
The idea / Programmed Interface Compression
Repeated work contains triggers, decisions, exceptions, and handoffs that nobody documented as one system. Programmed Interface Compression (PIC) makes those cause-and-effect relationships visible, removes unnecessary steps and repetition, and builds what works into an engineered, evolving codebook. Distillery structures the state. MMS authorizes action. Evidence Layer proves what happened. KMS brings the right state back when it is needed.

Structuring layer
Turn a pile of records into something usable.
Filters and structures sprawling, messy source material into clean, consistent records -- so the work of sorting and re-reading stops being yours.
MMSLive
Authorization layer
Stop unsafe execution before it happens.
Independent human, hardware, and system-state checks must agree before a consequential action can run -- so "is this allowed?" stops being a manual judgment call.
Evidence LayerLive
Proof layer
Prove what happened, after it matters.
Tamper-evident records, hashes, and timestamps assemble themselves as work happens -- so building the audit trail stops being a scramble done later by hand.
KMSIn production
Retrieval layer
Ask for what you know, get it back.
An interactive layer over everything the other three capture -- so finding the right record, history, or status stops meaning digging through scattered notes.

The Assembled Worker / Benchmark / September 2026
Qwen3.8-27B versus Qwen3.6-35B-A3B
The sparse 35B deployment ran 3.82 times faster. The dense 27B model remained the safer cold start. Inspect the holdout, limitation, and next matched Q4/Q6 test.

Episode 01: Dragon Snare
A four-year-old and her little sister wrote and directed this 16-minute fantasy movie. They supplied the story, characters, dialogue, and creative decisions; HMIC built the AI-assisted production workflow that turned their directions into scenes.

The operator and the studio.
HMIC is an independent research and publishing studio.
HMIC builds inspectable human-AI systems, tests local models in complete working configurations, and publishes the resulting software, benchmarks, videos, and books.
The public artifacts are part of the method: finished work makes the underlying system inspectable.
