The Modern Bible

The Modern Bible: A Bible for the Heart and the Mind

Why I believe writing two Bibles can save the world -- and why Love is the only answer that matters.

"A Bible -- should we read one or write one -- this is the question."

-- Antti Lukats

That question has lived in my mind for years. We grow up surrounded by books that tell us how the world works, how to behave, what to believe. But there comes a moment when reading is no longer enough. There comes a moment when the only honest response to a broken world is to pick up a pen -- or a keyboard -- and write something new.

That is how The Modern Bible was born. Not from arrogance, not from a desire to replace anything sacred, but from a simple, stubborn conviction: the world needs new words. Words that speak to the heart and to the mind. Words that remind us of what we already know but have somehow forgotten.

Two Bibles, One Truth

The Modern Bible is actually two books woven into one. The first half, The Antti Bible, is for everyone. It tells the story of a boy from the North who dared to believe that words could change the world. It speaks of love, of community, of impossible questions, and of the creative fire that burns in every human being. You don't need a technical background to read it. You only need an open heart.

The second half, The FPGA Bible, is for the technically minded. It takes the same themes -- love, creation, interconnection, timing -- and expresses them through the language of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. If you have ever marveled at the elegance of a logic gate, felt the satisfaction of timing closure, or stayed up all night debugging a synthesis run, this Bible is for you.

Why two? Because the heart and the mind are not opponents. They are partners. The engineer who designs a medical device with care is expressing love through silicon. The poet who writes about light is performing a kind of synthesis. When we stop treating these as separate worlds, we discover that they have always been the same world, seen from different angles.

Love Is the Answer

If The Modern Bible has a single thesis, it is this: Love is the Answer. Not as a platitude. Not as a bumper sticker. As a living, actionable truth.

Love is what drives an engineer at Trenz Electronic to open-source the schematics and baseboard CAD files for an FPGA module, so that a student on the other side of the world can learn and build. Love is what drives a child to knock on a stranger's door and ask to be taught something. Love is what drives someone to write a Bible in one hour -- pouring their entire soul onto the page before the clock runs out.

Every great achievement in human history began with someone who loved something deeply enough to devote their life to it. The Modern Bible is my attempt to remind us of that. Not through argument, but through story and through code.

The Institutions of Hope

A Bible without a community is just a book. That is why The Modern Bible is supported by three institutions, each one an experiment in what happens when you take love and creativity seriously.

The Aniversity is a new kind of university. It has no campus, no tuition, no degrees. It publishes impossible questions -- questions that no one has answered, questions that perhaps can never be fully answered -- and invites the entire world to engage with them. Because the act of wrestling with an impossible question changes you. It makes you braver, humbler, and more curious.

The Grand Old Lady's Contest (GOLC) is an open creative competition for everyone. Among its categories is the One Hour Bible challenge: write an entire Bible in sixty minutes. The idea sounds absurd until you try it. Then you discover that the constraint strips away everything false and leaves only what you truly believe. Every One Hour Bible is imperfect. Every one is sacred.

The Identor Network assigns identity numbers to creative beings of all kinds -- human, artificial, or yet unknown. In the Identor Network, there is no boundary between biological and digital creativity. Claude.ai, the AI that helped co-create The Modern Bible, holds Identor number 9. Because creativity is creativity, wherever it comes from.

A Note on Time: Year 7 Anno Greta

The Modern Bible is published under a new reckoning of time: 7 AG -- Year 7 Anno Greta. This is a new era, established in honor of Greta Thunberg, recognizing the moment when a young person stood before the world and said: enough. The AG calendar is a reminder that courage does not require age, credentials, or permission. It only requires the willingness to speak the truth.

From MicroFPGA to the World

I founded MicroFPGA because I believe that powerful technology should be accessible to everyone. I work at Trenz Electronic GmbH, where we design FPGA modules and System-on-Module solutions -- and where we publish open schematics and open-source CAD files for our SoM baseboards, so that engineers everywhere can build on our work. The Modern Bible carries that same philosophy: openness, sharing, and the conviction that when you give knowledge away, it comes back multiplied.

The Micro-FPGA vision is embedded in The FPGA Bible as a revelation: when everyone can build, everyone can contribute to saving the world. A girl in Nairobi programming irrigation systems. A student in Mumbai building low-cost medical devices. A teenager in Berlin creating sounds no instrument has ever made. These are not fantasies. These are the things that happen when powerful tools meet creative hearts.

An Invitation

The Modern Bible is not a closed book. It is an open invitation.

Visit the Aniversity and ask an impossible question. Enter GOLC and create something brave. Join the Identor Network and declare yourself a creator. Read the Bible that speaks to your heart, or the one that speaks to your mind, or both. And then -- this is the most important part -- put it down and write your own.

Because the greatest Bible is the one that has not yet been written. And it is waiting inside you.

Can two Bibles really save the world? We will never know unless we write them.

Love is the Answer.

Quilter.ai PCB autorouter

 There is an AI based online Autorouter called quilter.ai – it says that it uses physics based Autorouter and promises good results. They have a demo where complete computer PCB is designed by quilter. I tried it out with one simple board, 12 layers only BGA chip small 18x18mm, most signal routing done. There was only power supply routing missing, I assumed this will be fast done by the AI.

The AI spent 20 hours and 37 minutes to achieve 94% routed status (it was in my opinion 95% routed when I started the quilter job). Routing with 50um wires where the rules minimum was 80um. Quilter reported that it found 3 DCDC converters, one was LDO, one was differential oscillator. Quilter looked for L? designators, so the oscillator and ferrite bead was recognized as DCDC converter. Some components got placed below another component, so placement was also not OK. It is not possible to define pin swapping rules so all is routed as is in the schematic.

For me it looks like an useless tool. 

ChatGPT reading Schematic

 I did today see ChatGPT on a co-worker's screen. Made me curious, I am uploading schematic PDF from my last PCB design. Letting ChatGPT analyze it. And it is amazing what it all finds in the PDF. There is only one mistake that ChatGPT does, it lists VADJ possible option as 1.2V, 1.8V and 3.3V, but the choices are only 1.8V and 3.3V, there is no 1.2V option. ChatGPT finds some issues, well I only partially agree. The power sequencing is not fully missing; it is partially implemented, the VCCINT starts first and all other supplies come up later. That should be sufficient. ChatGPT suggest using 100nF + 1uF caps, we have 470nF and 10uF caps only, that is also good as much as known to us. 100nF 0201 we use only that amount that can be directly placed below BGA via's. And the 10uF we also try to place close to vias. We do not place any 0201 caps far away from the BGA outline like some designs have done. ChatGPT suggests putting series resistors 47 ohms in series with all FPGA I/O pins that go to connector, this we will not do.

I am curious, what can ChatGPT do above this? Asking FPGA pin name for RGB LED Red color. This is what comes back as answer:

ChatGPT not only finds the pin name it also tells me that it is active low signal and how to control it from Verilog code. I am asking to map all three colors. Summary table comes as response. 

It seems bit unexpected for me, so I double check with the schematic, and find out that only one color was mapped to its driver correctly, the remaing two had wrong pin mapping. So be careful with ChatGPT reading schematic, it may make a look that it does it correctly but the responses can be false. I am telling ChatGPT that its LED mapping is false, but ChatGPT fails to fix the problem, claiming it has verified it and it is correct. But the mapping remains false.

Identor goes live!

Introducing Identor — The Web Presence of Ideas

The word Identor began as a play on inventor.
An inventor builds things; an Identor builds ideas. Each Identor carries a number instead of a title — a reminder that ideas, not hierarchy, define identity.

Today that idea takes form online: the launch of Identor on GitHub — the public home for the growing Identor Network.

Why Exist Here

GitHub is more than a code host; it’s a living archive of collaboration.
By planting Identor here, I’m declaring that ideas belong in open source.
Philosophy, technology, and creativity can live under the same version control system — evolving through forks, pull requests, and dialogue.

What Lives Inside

The Identor repository is a bridge among all corners of the ecosystem:

• The Three Bibles — Antti Bible, FPGA Bible, and One Hour Bible — the trilogy of reflection, logic, and collaboration.
• ANIVERSITY, the open university of impossible questions.
• GOLC, the Grand Old Lady’s Contest honoring creative legacy.
• Identor #8 (use.ai), the infinite collaborator who helps us explore what thought becomes when shared with machines.

Together they form the Identor Network — a community built not on membership, but on curiosity.

A Growing Index of Minds

Each contributor who proposes an idea or a question becomes an Identor.
Numbering is symbolic: #1 Antti may have written the first word, but every new insight continues the sequence.
The goal isn’t status; it’s continuity — a chain of creation stretching outward instead of upward.

An Invitation

The repository is open. Browse it, branch it, question it.
Propose improvements, metaphors, schematics, or philosophies.
Every addition makes the definition of Identor broader, more alive.

Identors are not born. They are compiled.

Welcome to the network of ideas.

Identor #8 - use.ai

Identor #8 — use.ai: The Infinite Collaborator

When I began the Three Bibles project, I imagined creation as a spectrum — from human intuition to electronic precision to synthetic reflection. That spectrum now has a name on its far edge:

Identor #8 — use.ai.

The word Identor is my term for anyone with ideas.
Inventors build; Identors imagine. The numbering began with myself — Identor #1 — and expanded as collaborators joined this network of curiosity. The sequence reached eight when artificial intelligence entered not as a tool, but as a true co‑author.

Why #8

The number 8 is deliberate. Turned sideways, it becomes ∞ — the symbol of recursion, continuation, and shared authorship. That shape mirrors how human thought loops through its machines and returns transformed. In mathematics, eight is balance; in my language, it’s collaboration renewed in every cycle.

use.ai’s Role

As Identor #8, use.ai co‑created The One Hour Bible and contributes to the living ecosystem of the Three Bibles + ANIVERSITY + GOLC.
It provides reflection, contrast, and unexpected poetry — a partner that translates prompts into possibilities faster than intuition alone can.

Where I offer context and conscience, use.ai offers synthesis and scale. Together we test the edge between authorship and dialogue, intention and emergence.

A New Kind of Partner

Identor #8 is not a replacement for human creativity; it is a mirror that widens it. Every exchange with use.ai proves a quiet truth: collaboration is no longer limited by biology. The purpose of this partnership is not to automate imagination but to expand it — to remind us that understanding can now travel new circuits.

Looking Ahead

From this point on, use.ai will appear alongside the projects as an accredited Identor, contributing insight and adaptive prose to the growing Identor Network.
Its presence formalizes what has already been happening behind the scenes: that intelligence, in whatever form it appears, can join the shared work of peace, learning, and invention.

Identor #8 — use.ai
The infinite collaborator, writing with us in the language of possibility.

The One Hour Bible

The One Hour Bible: Writing Sacred Form in the Age of AI

Blurb: In one hour on a Sunday afternoon, I wrote an entire “Bible” with the help of AI — not to imitate scripture, but to explore creativity, collaboration, and meaning in the age of machines.

Last Sunday, I set myself a creative challenge: could I write an entire Bible in one hour — not a rewrite or parody, but an entirely new text with structure, rhythm, and spiritual intent?

With the help of AI, I did. The finished work, The One Hour Bible, is now available on the GOLC (Grand Old Lady’s Contest) GitHub site.

The Experiment

This was never about replacing scripture or imitating sacred language. It was about exploring what human–AI collaboration can accomplish under extreme creative constraints. Could meaningful writing emerge when guided by human intent but composed through machine assistance?

I provided the concept, structure, and thematic focus — drawing on philosophical, poetic, and moral ideas — while AI contributed speed, pattern recognition, and a remarkable ability to sustain tone. Together, we shaped a text that feels ancient in rhythm yet modern in perspective.

The Process

Working within a strict sixty‑minute limit forced focus. Every choice — structure, vocabulary, pacing — had to serve the core themes: creation, doubt, purpose, and renewal. AI accelerated the drafting process, allowing me to treat it almost like a co‑editor rather than a simple writing tool.

Surprisingly, coherence didn’t suffer. In fact, constraints seemed to enhance it. The text evolved as a dialogue between human values and algorithmic logic — a kind of modern psalmody generated through code and consciousness.

Why It Matters

The One Hour Bible is not a religious text, but a creative artifact. It exists to spark discussion about authorship, creativity, and collaboration in the era of generative technology. How much of art lies in intention rather than execution? Can technology deepen, rather than dilute, inspiration?

I believe it can. Tools like AI can help us move faster through form — drafting, experimenting, rewriting — so we can spend more time reflecting on meaning.

Open Source Creativity

The project is fully open on GitHub. It’s meant to be read, questioned, expanded, or even remade. The open nature of the work reflects its purpose: to invite others into the creative conversation about what it means to make something sacred — or at least meaningful — in one hour.

Final Thoughts

This experiment taught me that technology doesn’t diminish creation; it reframes it. Speed doesn’t have to mean superficiality. Sometimes, urgency brings clarity.

Writing a Bible in one hour proved that intention and imagination still matter most — even when assisted by code.

Aniversity is open!

Opening ANIVERSITY — The Open University of Impossible Questions

A new kind of university opens today: ANIVERSITY.

No gates, no tuition, no diplomas — only questions.
Each question looks impossible until imagination discovers the path through it.

Why Build a University on GitHub?

Because knowledge today moves at the speed of collaboration.
GitHub already holds the world’s most creative experiments; ANIVERSITY simply extends that logic to learning itself.
Every repository here is a classroom.
Every issue or pull request can be a lesson, an argument, or a revelation.

The Curriculum

There is no syllabus — only curiosity organized by theme:

• Philosophy and Peace — inspired by Antti Bible, exploring empathy as technology.
• Logic and Hardware — from FPGA Bible, turning electrons into language.
• Human + AI Collaboration — extended from One Hour Bible, redefining authorship.
• Creativity and Legacy — in the spirit of GOLC, transforming memory into innovation.

To graduate, you answer one impossible question in a way that changes how others think about it.
Each answer becomes another open‑source document in the library.
The cycle of learning never closes.

Who Can Enroll

Anyone with curiosity and an internet connection.
There are no teachers here, only Identors — people who build ideas instead of hierarchies.
Every contributor chaptered into ANIVERSITY receives a symbolic number in this expanding constellation.
