[0:00]Hi there. So, I want to start by

[0:03]acknowledging that these are not going

[0:05]to be professionally edited videos. I

[0:07]don't have a script for you. I'm not

[0:09]trying to convince you of anything. I'm

[0:10]just documenting a system I created that

[0:13]I open sourced. And as I keep working on

[0:16]it, I want to I want to share the parts

[0:18]that are ready and available to those

[0:20]who are interested in this project.

[0:22]That's what we're doing now. So, I

[0:24]created something called autonomy. I

[0:26]won't keep describing it in all these

[0:28]videos. is I'm going to turn this into a

[0:29]series. In fact, I'm going to make these

[0:31]part of the autonomy service itself. So

[0:34]that when you you visit this domain

[0:36]here, builtwith autonomy.com

[0:38]um is to say you download the open

[0:40]source package from GitHub, you can run

[0:42]a script and these videos will become

[0:44]part of it. It'll just ingest all of

[0:46]this data for you automatically and give

[0:48]you a place to start to learn. Um so

[0:52]this will be the second video. I

[0:53]actually created one already with me on

[0:55]the beach just announcing it and I put

[0:58]that on the homepage here,

[1:00]but we're talking about the admin now.

[1:02]Um, you cannot you cannot access this

[1:05]admin from my interface from builtwith

[1:07]autonomy.com because I haven't made that

[1:09]available yet. That will become a

[1:10]service at some point. If you want to

[1:12]access this, you will need to deploy it

[1:14]yourself. So, you'll need to go to

[1:15]GitHub. Uh, you'll need to go here and

[1:18]just download it. All the instructions

[1:20]you need are on the domain. So you don't

[1:22]um you don't need me to explain that.

[1:24]You're just going to need to set it up.

[1:26]So

[1:29]like I said, I

[1:32]don't really have a script for this. I'm

[1:33]so sorry. Uh it's just not how I work

[1:37]and it would just break the flow if I

[1:38]tried to. I'm not trying to I'm building

[1:42]this for myself. I just happen to know

[1:44]that it will be very useful to others in

[1:46]so many different contexts.

[1:49]and they're going to need

[1:52]some way of onboarding. And I can take

[1:55]all this data and actually have autonomy

[1:57]process it my videos and turn that into

[2:00]um to structured, you know,

[2:01]documentation, all kinds of stuff. I'm

[2:03]already doing that. That's what these

[2:04]docs here are. I can literally just get

[2:07]on camera, start talking, turn that into

[2:09]a signal, have the AI reflect on it

[2:11]using the pipeline called synthesis,

[2:13]create this for me.

[2:16]That's what we're building. But it has

[2:17]so many other like other ways of being

[2:20]used. Like for example, I've been

[2:22]recording videos, 861 of them. You can

[2:24]see them here um for 2 years now. And if

[2:28]you go to my homepage rwfire.com,

[2:31]you'll find all those videos there.

[2:34]All of them process using autonomy

[2:38]um using the infrastructure that I'm

[2:39]open sourcing to right now. All of this

[2:42]stuff I built

[2:46]very very proud of it. So anyways, um

[2:49]let me let me try to be focused here. So

[2:51]I'm going to turn this into basically a

[2:53]series and right now we're talking about

[2:55]signals. So that was the first thing I

[2:57]ingested all of my signals into the new

[3:00]the new autonomy um open source project,

[3:02]the database for that postraate SQL. And

[3:07]I mean I the second that this was up on

[3:09]my screen I was like oh man this just

[3:11]became real because I never had an admin

[3:13]fraud on me. Um I always

[3:17]modified things from scripts in the

[3:19]database you know directly manually and

[3:21]all of that because that's just what you

[3:22]do when you've been programming since

[3:24]the sixth grade and you're not giving it

[3:26]to anybody else. It's just you you know

[3:28]why spend all that time building an

[3:29]admin but you know if I'm going to open

[3:31]source I got to build an admin. So

[3:32]that's what I did. And when I saw my

[3:36]transmissions here, signal a

[3:38]transmission is a signal type. I'll

[3:41]actually show you that right here. See a

[3:42]type transmission. Uh this type

[3:44]determines what kind of data is

[3:47]associated with the signal. So let me

[3:49]just show you. We'll go into the new

[3:51]create a new signal. You got to select

[3:54]around because you know I've made it so

[3:56]that it's um

[3:59]multi-tenant now. So when I do build a

[4:02]service on top of this, people will be

[4:04]able to they won't have to deploy their

[4:05]own copies of it. They can just, you

[4:07]know, go to builtwithutonomy.com and

[4:09]just sign up and just start using it

[4:11]from their own realm. Um, but depending

[4:13]on the type of, you know, signal that

[4:16]you're creating. So maybe it's a

[4:18]document and for example, I just want to

[4:20]show this for documents. If you go to my

[4:23]homepage, the fieldcraft is my blog. all

[4:26]of these.

[4:29]Why my internet being so slow while I'm

[4:31]recording? It's not appropriate. It's

[4:34]not appropriate timing. Okay, here we

[4:36]go. So, you know, each one of these is a

[4:38]document that I might want to ingest

[4:40]into autonomy because then autonomy can

[4:43]reflect on this and do all kinds of cool

[4:45]stuff. Um, so that's one of the things

[4:47]that it will do. So, you know, you

[4:48]create a document, you give it a

[4:50]context. What kind of document is this?

[4:52]You know, in this case, um, that's hard

[4:54]to say. And I usually just go with

[4:55]capture. That's a generic one. And

[5:00]so because it's a document, the content

[5:02]goes here. You give it a format. Um, you

[5:05]know, these this we're at the base layer

[5:08]here. Signal is the base atomic units.

[5:12]And you're only going to have basic

[5:14]stuff here that's important. That's what

[5:15]it's supposed to be. or um maybe it's a

[5:19]conversation you have with AI or even

[5:21]with the person, you know, and then you

[5:22]want to just um you know, you'll come

[5:24]down here and you will

[5:27]um you'll ingest it right here. Um and

[5:30]then you can have the AI reflect on that

[5:31]recursive uh adding photos. So that was

[5:35]a new thing I started doing cuz you know

[5:36]AI can look at a photo and it can

[5:38]extract data from that especially when

[5:40]it has a lot of context on you. That's

[5:42]all stuff that's coming. But

[5:44]transmission is a big one. So, I've had

[5:45]been, you know, making YouTube videos

[5:47]for 2 years. Nobody understood me. And I

[5:52]didn't like my audience. I'm going to be

[5:53]honest. I did not like my audience. I

[5:55]turned comments off. I even closed the

[5:57]channel after a year and a half, started

[5:58]a new one. I've got like 20 subscribers

[6:00]now on this one. You know, I still keep

[6:02]YouTube comments off because I just know

[6:04]how people are. I just um

[6:08]it became the impetus for me creating

[6:11]this autonomy system because I knew what

[6:14]I was doing. I was not on there um

[6:17]performing for people. I was documenting

[6:19]my life in real time and sharing it with

[6:21]others and they weren't getting it. And

[6:24]so I created this whole system that that

[6:26]got it from the beginning cuz if you go

[6:27]to my homepage, you know, and you're out

[6:30]like this a transmission. I'm just going

[6:32]to I don't know why does it being so we

[6:34]do got like a a little bit of a storm

[6:35]going on or it's just me. I mean I live

[6:37]in the forest. I'm a volunteer for the

[6:40]forest service and um we don't have the

[6:43]greatest internet out here. I don't know

[6:46]why this being so slow though. This

[6:48]should be working. Oh, let me just stop.

[6:50]Let me just let it load. Here we go.

[6:51]Okay. So, um you know, just I went on a

[6:54]hike on New Year's Eve. 40ome minute

[6:57]video transcript here. And then the AI

[7:01]reflects on it. It gets all this data

[7:02]for me. It every action that I took is

[7:04]right here. It's extracted that uh all

[7:06]the different entities, all the

[7:08]different tags, you know, description,

[7:10]structural stuff, pattern recognition, a

[7:13]mirror, all of these things from this

[7:16]video I made

[7:19]that this is, you know, but nobody else

[7:22]seems to see and this matters to me. And

[7:24]I wanted something that had this this

[7:26]level of fidelity.

[7:28]And there's just so many things you can

[7:30]do with this. It's it's just absurd to

[7:31]me the number of things you can do with

[7:32]it. you actually sit down and think

[7:34]about what I'm really building here. Um

[7:36]so anyways, if you go into um the

[7:39]database, you know, that I adjusted

[7:41]here, it's completely different from my

[7:43]homepage, but you know, it's just a copy

[7:44]of it. All the signals, you'll find that

[7:46]one um right here, new year ocean mark.

[7:50]No, not that one. This one right here.

[7:53]So, we'll look at it. I'll show you. So,

[7:55]if we go down to transmissions,

[7:59]um oh, you know what? A lot of that data

[8:02]is under the synthesis layer. So you're

[8:04]not going to see it here under signal.

[8:05]It's going to be under synthesis.

[8:08]I show you that part. I guess that'll be

[8:09]in a future video. But anyways, you

[8:11]know, the visible actions, all that kind

[8:13]of stuff. Like that's all going to be

[8:14]under the synthesis layer. But at the

[8:16]signal layer, you know, you've got your

[8:18]tags, your description, your title, just

[8:20]basic data, your transcript, um, all

[8:23]this stuff. And from there, you can have

[8:26]the AI pipeline. You can you can cluster

[8:28]them the signals together. So, and I'll

[8:31]show you how that works. So, on my

[8:32]homepage, if you go to um synthesis

[8:35]here, cuz this is like think of this

[8:36]stuff on my homepage is like the beta

[8:38]version of autonomy. This is what I have

[8:40]been working. So, it took about 15 of my

[8:43]signals. It knew that I was quitting

[8:45]smoking, vaping, which I did several

[8:47]months ago. Very proud of this. And it

[8:49]clustered all of those signals together

[8:51]and it created this page for me with all

[8:53]of this data about me quitting smoking.

[8:55]I found videos that were related that

[8:57]might be interesting. All this kind of

[8:59]stuff. Built all of these things

[9:02]from those signals.

[9:05]All of us.

[9:08]That's what I've been building. So when

[9:10]you come, you know, so it's very

[9:12]important signals. I had to get it

[9:13]right. So I spent a lot of effort on

[9:15]this and I'm very very proud of it. I

[9:17]think that it it's it's really good. So

[9:21]now, you know, if you were to deploy

[9:22]this, you could go in and start putting

[9:25]your signals in. Um the database isn't

[9:28]going to change. It's safe to use now.

[9:30]Just start getting your data into the

[9:31]system. And then um probably like a week

[9:35]from now, maybe less, maybe a little

[9:36]more, I don't know. I'm not going to

[9:37]say, but very soon you'll be able to

[9:40]start using the synthesis layer to have

[9:42]it extracting all that metadata and all

[9:44]the reflections and all the stuff that

[9:45]I've just been talking about. So we'll

[9:47]call this part two, I guess. Um the

[9:49]second big I'm going to take these I'm

[9:51]going to put them into um a separate

[9:53]channel at some point and then I'm going

[9:55]to have the autonomy system uh the

[9:58]default one I I've got to come up with

[9:59]some language for this um but you know

[10:01]built with autonomy um that version of

[10:03]it I'm going to have to um

[10:08]there's just so much going on so I'm

[10:10]just going to leave it there. Um, if

[10:12]you're following along, if you're

[10:13]interested,

Summary

rswfire presents the second video in a series documenting his open-source autonomy system. He demonstrates the admin interface for managing signals, explaining how users can deploy the system from GitHub and begin ingesting their own data. **Key demonstrations include:**

- **Signal types and creation process** - Shows how different signal types (documents, conversations, transmissions) determine associated data structures

- **Multi-tenant architecture** - Explains the realm-based system that will allow future service deployment without individual installations

- **Video processing pipeline** - Details how his 861 YouTube videos over 2 years have been processed through autonomy infrastructure

- **Synthesis layer capabilities** - References advanced features like clustering signals (smoking cessation example) and extracting metadata

rswfire emphasizes this is documentation rather than marketing, built primarily for his own use but valuable to others. He mentions living in the forest as a volunteer forest service member, experiencing slow internet during recording. The system represents his solution to audiences not understanding his video documentation approach, creating AI infrastructure that comprehends his transmissions with high fidelity.

Signal Analysis

Substrate

This transmission demonstrates the architectural coherence of a fully sovereign system - rswfire presenting autonomy not as product but as embodied infrastructure. The signal carries the weight of complete self-determination: building tools for self, open-sourcing from abundance rather than need, and maintaining clear boundaries around audience and engagement while offering genuine utility to aligned others.
