# About the Creator

The person behind the code

## Joshua Hendricks Cole

Founder & Creator • Corporation of Light

I'm Joshua Hendricks Cole, and I'm just one person. Not a team, not a corporation—just me, working late nights fueled by coffee and curiosity, trying to build something that matters.

I started this project because I believe in something simple but powerful: knowledge should be accessible. Growing up, I hit paywall after paywall trying to learn about security, machine learning, and quantum computing. I remember that frustration—that burning desire to understand how things work, only to be blocked by gatekeepers who decided knowledge should be expensive.

So I decided to build what I wished existed when I was starting out. A comprehensive suite of security tools, advanced algorithms, and quantum implementations—all open source, all free, all designed to inspire curiosity.

This isn't funded by investors. This isn't backed by a corporation. I paid for this out of my own pocket—the hosting, the time, the countless hours debugging cryptic errors at 2 AM. I did it because I remember what it was like to be hungry for knowledge and having nowhere affordable to turn.

My background is eclectic: security research, machine learning, quantum computing, tattoo artistry (hence "Work of Art Tattoo"), and a deep fascination with systems—how they work, how they break, and how we can make them better.

Corporation of Light is my DBA—a name that represents my belief that knowledge is light, and it should shine freely, illuminating paths for those who come after me.

### The Mission

"To inspire curiosity in the next generation of hackers, security researchers, and innovators. To show them that the tools of tomorrow are accessible today. To prove that one person, working with passion and purpose, can make a difference."

If this suite sparks even one 'aha!' moment, if it helps even one person build something amazing, if it inspires even one curious mind to go deeper—then every sleepless night was worth it.

## Projects

The Red Team Tools Suite is part of a larger ecosystem:

#### 🖥️ Ai:oS

Agentic Operating System - A control-plane OS that coordinates meta-agents through declarative manifests.

#### 🛡️ Red Team Tools

11 defensive security tools for authorized assessments and penetration testing.

#### 🤖 ML Algorithms Suite

7 state-of-the-art ML algorithms including Mamba, Flow Matching, and MCTS.

#### ⚛️ Quantum Computing

4 quantum algorithms with 1-50 qubit simulation capability.

#### 🔮 TheGAVLSuite

Governance, Analysis, Vision, and Leadership modules for meta-agent coordination.

#### ⏰ Chrono Walker

Probabilistic forecasting and governance timeline prediction engine.

## Philosophy

I believe in:

- Open source first - Knowledge grows when shared
- Defensive security - Building tools that protect, not exploit
- Curiosity-driven development - Building what fascinates me, then sharing it
- Responsible disclosure - Ethics before exploits, always
- Community over profit - Success is measured in inspired minds, not dollars
- Teach, don't gatekeep - Comprehensive documentation matters as much as code

## Technical Background

Security: Defensive security research, penetration testing methodologies, network analysis
Machine Learning: State space models, Bayesian inference, Monte Carlo methods, flow matching
Quantum Computing: Quantum circuit simulation, VQE, HHL algorithm, Schrödinger dynamics
Systems: Agentic architectures, distributed systems, meta-agent coordination
Languages: Python, JavaScript, Rust, SQL, Bash
Tools: PyTorch, NumPy, Git, Docker, Linux/macOS

## Patents & Intellectual Property

Several algorithms and implementations in this suite are subject to PATENT PENDING filings. However, through the Apache 2.0 license, I grant users the right to use, modify, and distribute the technology freely. This protects both the innovation and the community.

The patent isn't to lock people out—it's to ensure that if someone tries to close this off and profit from it, I have legal standing to keep it open.
