THRML Proof-of-Concept Specification: Embodied Sensing Experiments

Published: February 1, 2026 Version: 1

Abstract

This specification defines two proof-of-concept experiments for validating the embodied sensing framework described in CNL-TN-2026-014. Using the THRML library on Apple M4 Max hardware, we implement minimal Boltzmann machine meshes trained on Macroscope sensor data. Experiment A uses Tempest weather station readings (continuous environmental variables). Experiment B uses BirdWeather detections (discrete species presence/absence with relational structure). Success criteria: measurable energy differential between normal and anomalous input states.
