Question SW 07

SW-07 Which equipment arrangements will deliver the essential service within measured power, storage, heat, accessibility and response-time limits?

Why this matters

Useful runtime depends on the actual work and equipment. Screen detail, AI functions and available energy each need their own measurements.

What to bring back

Prepare an equipment comparison and repeatable practical checks using representative notices, requests, text, touch and voice. Measure start-up, response, power use, storage and sustained outage operation. Include uncertain time and low storage, and show the functions each arrangement retains as resources change.

What we know so far

• Aura_Genesis_Protocol_Game_Design_Document_V2.pdf (pp.26-28)
• Web3_Sensorium_for_Science_Debate.pdf (pp.27-30)
• youth-elders.html (older residents section)
• Professional review and comparison of proposed improvements (When this work overlaps professional or public-authority responsibilities, compare the proposal and Luke's research with applicable industry/global best practice and relevant legal-engine sources. Record differences, reasonable improvements and deficiencies, with the responsible reviewer and response. Routine authorised drafting and wiki work can advance.)

AI-generated potential answers

For discussion and review · research checked 2026-10-20. These are AI-generated options and transfer assessments. The user's request and research method identify the source of this work. The source catalogue states what the references establish. The decision and approval record retains its own status.

Compare a compact local-information computer with a more capable protected mini-PC using identical tasks and measured energy, heat and response. Size optional AI work separately. Retain the tested public information and request functions as the system changes its energy settings.

Measure a compact server and a mini-PC

AI-generated adaptation of an existing pattern. Use a Kiwix-style Raspberry Pi library as one reference workload and compare a mini-PC carrying the complete service. Run the same touch, text, audio and request examples before choosing equipment or storage.

Move deeper AI work to available shared compute

AI-generated future concept. Trial an arrangement where the kiosk requests optional richer Aura processing from a local shared computer when power and connection permit. Public information remains local; the trial would measure context permissions, delays and energy savings.

Research basis: llama.cpp: local and hosted language-model inference.

Examples and local differences

• Kiwix Hotspots: an offline library over a local Wi-Fi network: AI transfer assessment: An existing small-computer hotspot provides a concrete offline-library comparison. Local difference to check: A protected operational kiosk must additionally meet complete service, thermal, wet-weather, accessibility and prolonged-outage requirements.

Evidence to bring back next

• Measure start-up, task completion, energy and enclosure temperature with representative content and visitors.
• Include low storage, incorrect time, simultaneous users and the agreed 2–3-day practical test profile in the comparison.
