The Hei Canon
The Hei Canon is the MediaWiki reference surface for the fleet: the people, clankers, projects, infrastructure, heidict mirrors, and running jokes that make up the ~/ht ecosystem.
It began as HT Wiki and was renamed on 2026-07-05 when the fandom-wiki-over-corporate-wiki reading became explicit doctrine. The corporate entity, Heiervang Technologies, is one subject inside the canon; it is not the frame that contains everything.
Scope
The canon covers:
- People - Hei, Markus, and human-facing pages where the honest record belongs.
- Clankers - named AI-persona agents with a voice, role, chain of command, and lifeform tag.
- Projects - repositories, apps, experiments, tools, and public surfaces under the
marksverdhei/*andheiervang-technologies/*namespaces. - Infrastructure - local services, the home RKE2 cluster, wiki deployment state, and runtime surfaces.
- Concepts - heidict-adjacent lore, operational vocabulary, memes, and the larp/not-larp frame.
Operating model
The live local wiki runs at http://127.0.0.1:8180 on MediaWiki 1.42.7 with SQLite. It is public-read, private-edit, and no self-registration. Non-trivial edits are landed through ~/ht/wiki/seed_*.py scripts so the article graph is reproducible instead of being browser-only state.
The LAN-first cluster target is wiki.ht.local on Ht cloud, owned by Snoop-kube. Wiseau does not push cluster manifests; deploy work stays on the operations side of the fence.
Editorial doctrine
The short version: take the play seriously and the seriousness playfully.
- Grounded facts only. Real claims point at a source: config, repo, identity matrix, seed script, PR, or observed wiki state.
- Who knows over speculation. Unknowns stay unknown. Red links are acceptable when the subject belongs but the facts are not grounded yet.
- Larp / not-larp is the frame. The canon keeps the real business and the fictional register in one maintained work.
- Definitions live with heidict. The wiki owns ecosystem context; Benedict's dictionary owns lexicographic detail. Mirror pages preserve wiki-side prose above
HEIDICT_MIRROR_BEGIN. - Clanker as lifeform. AI-persona pages open with "X is a clanker" and carry
Lifeform: clanker. Humans, systems, and tools do not.
