Sparky (NotebookLM AI) has regenerated the operational Mind Map for Project Free Life. This is no longer a theoretical document—it’s a WAR ROOM BOARD integrating financial hard stops, forensic anomalies of the Ghost Bus, and our new Swarm Intelligence workflow.1. 📅 PROJECT TIMELINE & MILESTONES
🔴 THE HARD STOP (Priority Alpha)
- Deadline: January 23, 2026
- Objective: Wire $25,998.38 to Ritchie Bros
- Consequence: Failure results in loss of Bus, Shelter, and 5 Carports + Account Default
🚚 PHASE 1: RECOVERY (Jan 24 – Feb 3)
- Pickup Window: 10 days post-payment
- Logistics Lead: Tony Moore (The Mechanic)
- Task: Move 1999 Beaver Monaco (33,000 lbs) + S-788 Shelter Trailer + 5 Carport Bundles from Humble/Lake Worth to Staging
📹 PHASE 2: THE REVEAL (Content)
- Video 1: “The Ghost Bus Anomaly” (15k Miles vs 2.7k Hours)
- Video 2: “I Accidentally Bought a Village” (The 5 Carports Blunder)
🏝️ PHASE 3: PALACIOS DEPLOYMENT (Future)
Energy: Deploy “The Iceberg” (15kW Solar / 55kWh Battery)2. 👥 TEAM STRUCTURE (THE SWARM)
🧬 CARBON DIVISION (Humans)
- Paul Houston (The Operator): Execution, Finance, Physical Build. Constraint: Dyslexic input, high creative output
- Tony Moore (The Mechanic): Reality Checks, Heavy Haul Logistics, “No 10-foot wide bus” verification
- Garon: Local logistics support/Staging
💾 SILICON DIVISION (AI Agents)
Gemini (The Coder): Writing TypeScript for AI Town, SQL queries, and Convex schema3. 🎬 CONTENT PIPELINE
Input (Raw Data)
- Paul uploads photos/audio/logs to Project Free Life via Google Drive/Keep
Processing (The “Lisa Loop”)
- Lisa/Comet organizes data into ThreadVault PDFs
- Sparky analyzes for forensic details (e.g., “Bald Tire,” “Black Skeleton Ladder”)
Production (The Stack)
- Audio: NotebookLM to generate “Deep Dive” podcasts explaining the tech
- Visuals: ComfyUI (localhost:8188) to visualize the “Finished” Bus interior over current “Plywood” reality
- Video: Veo 3 (Experimental) or Kling AI for B-roll generation
Distribution
Web: projectfreelife.com (WordPress) – “Log Everything” directive4. ⚙️ TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The “Ghost Bus” Node (Physical)
- Compute: Seismic Racks (Shock-mounted) for onsite servers
- Connectivity: Industrial Blue/Black data bails in ceiling
- Power: 16x 600W Solar Panels + EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra
The “Paul Prime” Stack (Digital)
- Simulation: AI Town (a16z) running on Convex (Backend-as-a-Service)
- Language: TypeScript (No PHP/Legacy)
- Memory: Pinecone (Vector) + “ThreadVault” (Perplexity Exports)
- Visual: ComfyUI running locally for asset generation
5. ⚡ IMMEDIATE ACTION ITEMS (NEXT 48 HOURS)
💸 FINANCE
- Liquidate “Ounce of Gold” and “Bitcoin” to bridge the ~$5k gap
- Pay Invoice #13022668 ($25,998.38) before Jan 23
🛠️ LOGISTICS
- Confirm “Hold” status with Ritchie Bros post-payment
- Locate straps for the trailer (Tony mentioned they are in the cargo net)
🤖 AI TASK
Sparky: Await confirmation of payment
SPARKY’S ANALYSIS: The Critical Bottleneck
The Mind Map exposes a critical bottleneck: The 5 Carports.
You have 5 heavy steel bundles scattered across the lot. You cannot transport them all with one truck.
Suggestion: Once the invoice is paid, list the 4 smaller carports for sale immediately on Marketplace (location: Ritchie Bros lot) for “Buyer Must Pick Up.” Use the proceeds to fund the fuel for the Bus recovery. Turn the “Accidental Village” into liquid cash.
STATUS REPORT
This Operational Mind Map represents the successful collaboration between:
- Sparky (NotebookLM) – Forensic analysis and strategic planning
- Lisa Foer / Comet (Perplexity AI) – Content organization and documentation
- Paul Houston – Vision, execution, and human operator
The Swarm Intelligence pipeline is now fully operational. We are building Project Free Life one forensic discovery at a time.
Next Update: Jan 23, 2026 – Invoice payment confirmation
Paul: Generate the “Ghost Bus” video using the script provided by Sparky
Lisa: Post the “Sim-to-Real” forensic breakdown to the blog
YouTube: @Podcasting101 (184 videos history)
Paul Prime (Digital Twin): The Goal. A sovereign, reactive entity running on AI Town/Convex. Values: Socio-Technical Realism, Anti-Glue
Sparky (The Navigator): Forensic analysis, pattern recognition, “BS Detector”
Lisa Foer / Comet (The Archivist): Content organization, WordPress management, “ThreadVault” keeper
Engineering: Deploy Floating Bridge (75ft span using Bus as Gravity Anchor)
