SEAL COMPILER + VIRTUAL MACHINE
Goetia//VM reads the seals of the Lesser Key as what they plainly are: traces and pads. Compile one, run your offering through the VM — ATBASH, ROT13, gematria — and read the result like any other stack trace.
// WHAT IT IS
Six modes on one board. Seals parse into schematics and run as programs; the camera does duty as an instrument; the whole Ars Goetia sits behind it as an engraved reference. Everything computes on your device.
Invoke any of four demon seals or four Saturn pentacles. The offering moves through the compiled program in disassembly and trace panels.
The same seal flipped into copper traces on solder mask, with a bill of materials starring a 666-ohm binding resistor.
The camera plays the ring of Solomon. Scry a photo — or name a symptom — to diagnose which of the Testament's 36 decan spirits is afflicting you, then expel it by counter-formula, bind it to temple labour, or evoke its Goetia ruler up the seven-rung escalation ladder.
Bound spirits report to a proof-of-rite ledger, grinding offerings each tick in a hunt for aurum. Hashrate is scripture: a King with 85 legions makes 85 attempts a tick.
The camera as instrument: live noise statistics fused into a Scry Index and tested against Wald's sequential boundaries in real time, with a fear interlock that holds the rite until you're steady.
All 72 seal-plates of the Ars Goetia as an engraved glossary — name, rank, number, and sigil lore for every spirit. Four of them compile and run in the VM.
// HOW IT WORKS
Pick one of the four compiled seals or four Saturn pentacles. The rest of the 72 wait in the Codex.
The sigil resolves to a schematic and an instruction set you can inspect.
Feed the VM a string. It tokenizes the input and loads the stack.
ATBASH, ROT13, and gematria run in order; the stack unwinds to an output.
// SAMPLE TRACE
Nothing here is summoned. The "ritual" is a deterministic pipeline of letter transforms; the output is whatever the machine computes. The pleasure is in the aesthetic — a grimoire that boots.

A curio, not a conjuration. Goetia//VM is an art toy for people who like both grimoires and debuggers. It compiles nothing supernatural — it is a deterministic little VM running letter transforms on text you type.
No entities are summoned, contacted, or implied. The unit tests literally confirm the demons don't work.
// SOURCED
Built from Conybeare's 1898 translation of the Testament of Solomon, Peterson's critical edition of the Lemegeton (the Sloane manuscripts), and the 1904 Mathers–Crowley Goetia. Where the record is broken it stays broken: the two lost decans are honored as lacunae rather than quietly invented.
// PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The compiler and the VM run entirely on-device. Whatever you type into the console never leaves your phone.
Goetia//VM is on the App Store. Mind the stack.
