Simon Sainte
Mareville

Supply chain engineer building software and AI tools.

The work started in physical operations. The question it left behind — how does this system actually behave — is the one now put to software and to AI. What you are looking at is that practice, drawn.

AI Evolution Observatory

A temporal, provenance-aware knowledge system for reconstructing and explaining the evolution of AI. At P0 — knowledge foundation only: epistemic, temporal and governance models settled before any application stack is called canonical.

Moka Companion

A native Windows desktop companion: presence, attention, lightweight native interaction, privacy, subtle assistance. Its normative v0.1 contract forbids cloud service, LLM, AI inference and runtime networking — requirements, not demonstrated runtime behaviour. One relation, held deliberately.

HERVÉ

An offline-first operational platform documented and implemented around operator workflows, cycle counting, stock and replenishment, and operational dashboards. Its founding doctrine positions it as a bridge between central information systems and operational work. Deployment, scale and operational results are not claimed.

EXOMIND

A research program for embodied AI: cognition, planning and skill arbitration above a robot's real-time control boundary. Its founding work defines the architecture, experiment gates and an evidence register before autonomy; generative output and remote agents are not permitted to drive the motors directly. Nothing has yet been operated, trained, measured or replicated.
