Your priorities are completely wrong. You need to redirect the time and energy you're spending on this project towards getting back to stable ground, starting with utilizing the safety nets that your government and community make available to you. You need to find psychiatric care and shelter immediately, and eventually, gainful employment of any kind.

That'd be like me assuming you don't have a soul. A rather callous assumption, really. Admittedly one with a better evidentiary foundation than your accusation.
where's the code? i can't see it. https://github.com/MatrixForgeLabs/OctantOS is just some docs.
Making it open-source would like of defeat the object here and render it worthless.
A project like this isn't worth much when it gets cloned 1000 times and people start using all my code for free.
The whole point is to create a proprietary software system that will be able to help me make something of my life.

There are no available services. But even if there were, I don't need psychiatric care. I'm perfectly capable of living normally when I do.tnhve the weight of the world on my shoulders.
As the post makes very clear, I have tried to get assistance for years. The UK is a shambles for helping people ony situation. Because I'm classed as high functioning, I get treated like I'm just wierd.
The government will not help me with Housing or shelter.
The government will not provide care for my mental condition.
I don't need a dead end job or a good job eventually.
I just want to do what I'm very good at.
But it seems most people struggle to comprehend that I just want to be given a chance.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I appreciate the thought, genuinely. But I have to be honest: I’ve been through Citizens Advice and the benefits system for years. CA is a signposting service that directs you to the same services that have already rejected you. PIP requires a formal diagnosis, which requires years of waiting lists and assessments. I’ve been fighting this system long before I ended up in a tent. The post explains that the state won’t…
> What I need is 3 months of runway so I can do exactly that. I think you need to be more realistic about your priorities right now, you need a job, any job, and a roof over your head mate. The OS and runway for a start up can wait. This is not an investable proposition for anyone, what happens after 3 months of runway on a vibe coded OS? Where's the go to market plan, where's the viable business here? I'm not saying…
Please show me a vibe coded OS containing over 20 separate projects all merging together.
A from scratch kernel, from scratch hypervisor, from scratch everything.
Theres a big difference between systema architecture with AI tooling and vibe coding a little app.
This is not a vibe coded application.
I'm a 40 year old man. If I had the option to go get a job I would.
What would I do with my dog while I'm at a job? Do I leave him in the tent while I go off for 8 hours or more each day?
I'm guessing you don't fully grasp the point I'm aiming for here.
I'm hoping someone will see this and understand that I'm better than a dead end job. My brain is very unique and has the ability to do things others can't.
Honestly, if I could just go out and get a job and a place to live in would not be posting things like this.
I'm going to try to provide what I think is the most practical advice I could give, because I don't think you're being realistic. You are at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs right now. You need proper shelter, food etc. You need to get yourself above the second level ("safety needs") before spending time on highfalutin efforts like monetizing an OS or trying to get angel investors to swoop in and save you. I…
How do I get a job while homeless? What would I do with my dog while I work 8 hours a day?
I struggle with normal jobs. I can't cope working jobs I dont like doing. It makes me depressed on top everything else.

Everyone just wants do to what they're very good at. Sometimes, it turns out nobody wants to pay you for that though, so they make the decision to do something else instead that pays better, so they can live somewhere nice, and eat.
