MirrorDNA: Personal AI Infrastructure on Consumer Hardware

We introduce Personal AI Infrastructure (PAI) as a new computing paradigm in which individuals operate sovereign AI systems on hardware they own and govern. We present MirrorDNA, a fully sovereign PAI system running on a Mac Mini M4 (24 GB unified memory, $120/month total cost) that orchestrates 60 autonomous services, 85 LaunchAgent daemons, 259 operational scripts, and a 51,000-note knowledge vault without cloud dependency. Built over 10 months by a solo developer with AI pair-programming, MirrorDNA demonstrates that AI infrastructure with properties typically associated with institutional deployments can be constructed and operated as personal infrastructure.
