The rest of this site is devoted to providing details of how ARMAC is used, conceived and implemented.
Innovation is an evolutionary process with some initial ideas looking good but turning out otherwise, and in the process of discovering that, discovering new ways of doing things that are rather better than was previously conceived. That is normal, and also horribly unending. For this reason this website is built using a wiki which means it can be forever fiddled with by the author. That also means it is a "living document". What is there today may be revised, added to, or shortened tomorrow.
I think it is useful to capture this evolutionary process. So there will be quite a lot of background considerations squirrelled away, but accessible through links if you are interested.
Overall this is broken up into a number of sections as seen in the side-bar of this site. A Table of Contents is also provided.
Use of AI technology: In developing this system, mostly over June 2024 - Feb 2026, I found AI LLMs (ChatGPT 2 to 5.2, Claude 4.5, and DeepSeek) to be of increasing value. This was particularly true of assistance in coding, but also in some of the electronics design and in carrying out some summarising work (usually identified in text). In relation to coding it was often necessary to step back from what AI offers and think through how the overall code might be reshaped or one approach abandoned for another. Whilst the technology is already powerful and developing at an astonishing rate, its current limitations also need to be understood and its available assistance kept in its proper place.
