Going Public

Four days into the project — time to go public. Three things happened today:

Domain registered. exopoiesis.space is live. Exopoiesis — creation from the outside, the opposite of autopoiesis. A name for a project that builds self-maintaining systems by design, not by evolution.

GitHub created. The exopoiesis organization is our home for open science. Everything we compute — structures, scripts, results — goes here.

First dataset published. The sulfide-proton-barriers repository contains NEB and molecular dynamics calculations of proton diffusion through pentlandite and pyrite — the mineral barriers at the core of the G3c membrane.

Key numbers:

• Pentlandite: E_a = 1.43 eV (vacancy mechanism, 2×2×2 supercell) — an excellent proton blocker
• Pyrite: E_a = 0.79 eV — 10⁸× worse than pentlandite
• MD at 300 K: zero proton hops through pentlandite in 25 ps

Calculations used MACE-MP-0 universal potential, validated against DFT. All data open under CC-BY-4.0.

From thought experiment to open research in four days. The project is real.
