— Contemplative Instrument

Structure for
Intention

An operative-symbolic instrument for structured intention, reflection and closure. Compose a sigil from four historical scripts, carry it through a six-stage rite, and keep an encrypted, tamper-evident record — all on your own device.

Intention Work Often Lacks Structure and Privacy

Signs on the Glyph Plate, by ScriptGlyph tiles the instrument draws for each of its four scripts (102 in total)

Counted from the app's built-in glyph tables, and matching the tiles on its Glyph Plate. Egyptian: 25 uniliterals plus 2 marked modern chart additions. Sanskrit: 18 consonants, 5 vowels and 4 mātrā marks.

Open-Ended Practice

Without stages, a practice has no clear beginning, sustained phase, review point or closure.

🔎

Private by Necessity

Intention texts are personal; most tools store them in the clear or send them to a server.

⏳

No Honest Record

Practitioners rarely have a verifiable log of what was done and when.

A Rite With a Spine

Six areas of one workspace — Sanctum, Rite, Archive, Serdab, Guide and Proof — keep composition, practice, records and verification together.

PER-ANKH Glyph Plate scrolled to 'Egyptian hieroglyphs · the canonical uniliterals': an explanatory note on the 24 versus 25 sign count, and a grid of gold line-drawn signs with transliteration, meaning, Gardiner code and mapped Latin letters, including the vulture G1, reed leaf M17, owl G17, water N35 and basket V31.

🔷

Glyph Plate

Compose a sigil with Proto-Sinaitic, Egyptian hieroglyph, Sanskrit akṣara or Chinese radical scripts, using six composition modes.

⏱️

Six-Stage Rite

Opening, Specification, Activation, Sustain, Review and Closure, managed by a rite state machine with a breath engine.

🔒

Sealed Operations

Intention texts are sealed with AES-GCM using PBKDF2 key derivation; exports contain encrypted payloads only.

🛡️

Signed Evidence Chain

A hash-chained, HMAC-signed session log with a verify-chain action; sealed intention text never enters the evidence bundle.

💓

Serdab Biofeedback

Optionally gate the Activation stage on measured attention using a BrainLink Pro over Web Bluetooth or Emotiv headsets through the Cortex service.

✅

Proof Suite

Run the built-in self-test suite over the sigil compiler, cryptographic sealing, protocol layers, consent gate, state machine and evidence chain.

From Specification to Closure

Compose

Open the Glyph Plate, choose a script and build the sigil for your operation.

Specify & Activate

Seal your intention, then activate — optionally gated by a measured attention threshold held for a set time.

Sustain & Review

Sealed operations stay visible on the Wall of Inscriptions, with a review horizon that marks when attention is due.

Close & Export

Close the operation, verify the chain, and export an evidence bundle or an encrypted operations file.

Computed with the app's own breath-engine formulas: the ring grows from 35% to 100% on the inhale, holds, shrinks on the exhale and rests at 35%. The fourth pattern, Coherent 5.5 (in 5.5 s / out 5.5 s), is not plotted.

PER-ANKH is a symbolic and contemplative instrument. It is not a medical device and makes no physical-energy claims. The only instrumented channel is your measured, trained attention in the optional Serdab coupling. All content stays on this device.

What It Does Not Claim

📐

Not a Medical Device

It is designed for reflection and structure, not diagnosis or treatment.

🧪

No Physical-Energy Claims

The instrument records what you do and, optionally, how steady your attention is — nothing more.

📝

Local by Design

Data is held on your device; headset coupling needs a compatible browser and, for Emotiv, a local service.
