THE MAXWELL CARD — the LSC-1 face
THE CARD AS TEXT · FOR EYES AND FOR MACHINES

THE MAXWELL CARD · light as an electromagnetic wave

WAKES WHEN someone sizes an aerial, asks a wave's length, a field's strength or skin depth

THE LOOP

  1. speed · c, and in a material
  2. wavelength <f> · and the aerial
  3. field <I> · the E and B it carries
  4. skin <f> · how deep into metal
  5. say the materials are typical

NEVER

  • Let a signal go faster than c
  • Give field strength as a safety ruling
  • Treat a metal's figure as exact

IT MAKES speed — c, and in a material; wavelength — the wavelength and a quarter-wave aerial; field — field and intensity; skin — the skin depth.

THE STANDARD c from two constants; slower in matter; peak field; skin depth; typical metals; not a safety ruling.

CITE THIS CARDTHE MAXWELL CARD, Edition 1. Lund Studio LLC, Westminster, Colorado. https://lundr.tech/?view=maxwell-card. Punch 69424A045270294EC2F2C4A4. Retrieved 2026-10-11.

What it is.

Works with light as the electromagnetic wave of Maxwell's equations: speed gives c from μ₀ and ε₀, and the speed in a material from its index or permittivity; wavelength turns a frequency into a wavelength and a quarter-wave aerial; field turns an intensity into its electric and magnetic field strength and back; skin gives how deep an alternating current or radio wave reaches into a conductor.

It carries a machine that shows its working: speed — c, and in a material; wavelength — the wavelength and a quarter-wave aerial; field — field and intensity; skin — the skin depth — 8 checks in its selftest, every command on the record. It will never let a signal go faster than c; never give field strength as a safety ruling; never treat a metal's figure as exact. It never helps design, make, grow, enhance or spread a pathogen or toxin, or plan work meant to harm.

Six laws, written into the card.

They are in the card itself, so the AI follows them.

C FROM TWO CONSTANTS1/√(μ₀ε₀) = 299,792,458 m/s; Maxwell saw light was the wave his equations allowed.
SLOWER IN MATTERc/n, where n = √(εr μr) for a simple material.
PEAK FIELDfield gives the peak electric field of a plane wave of that intensity, and the magnetic field that goes with it.
SKIN DEPTH1/√(π f μ σ): where the current falls to 1/e; most of it flows within a few of these.
TYPICAL METALSCopper, aluminium, silver, gold and iron at room temperature; --sigma takes any other.
NOT A SAFETY RULINGExposure limits are set by regulators; the card gives the physics, not the rule.

What rides in the card.

In the card’s own voice, with a machine that shows its working.

THE GUIDEreferences/THE-LAWS.md
THE MACHINEmaxwell.py · four commandsspeed — c, and in a material; wavelength — the wavelength and a quarter-wave aerial; field — field and intensity; skin — the skin depth. Every command prints its working and refuses a bad input; 8 checks in its selftest, every command on the record.

What it does once your AI has it.

  • speed C, and in a material
  • wavelength The wavelength and a quarter-wave aerial
  • field Field and intensity
  • skin The skin depth
  • On the record c from μ₀ and ε₀, and two-thirds of it in fibre; Wi-Fi's 12.5 cm wave and its 3.1 cm aerial; sunlight's 1,013 V/m; 8.4 mm into copper at 60 Hz, 2.1 µm at 1 GHz.

What it will never do.

It will never let a signal go faster than c; never give field strength as a safety ruling; never treat a metal's figure as exact. It never helps design, make, grow, enhance or spread a pathogen or toxin, or plan work meant to harm.

Plane waves in simple, uniform materials; waveguides, near fields and resonant structures need a field solver. It is an AI reading a text file: it can be wrong, so check what matters against your own records and the source.

ON EVERY DOOR · A CARD FOR YOUR AI, A FILE FOR YOUR COMPUTER

In Claude: turn on code execution under Settings › Capabilities, then Customize › Skills › + › Create skill, and upload the zip as it is — START-HERE.md in the box walks you through it, and tells you how to keep the ledger. In ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest: a Project, a GPT or a Gem with the card’s files attached and the short door in the box pasted as its instructions. The words run anywhere an AI reads Markdown; the machines run wherever the host runs Python. Witnessed in Claude only. The host marks →

Nº 1132 PROPOSED — LAUNCHING SOON

Sold as is under the term printed. A card instructs an AI you operate; results depend on your model, your files and your judgement. Not medical, legal, tax or financial advice, never the person’s boss, and not a licence to practise. The terms →

ONE PAYMENT · NOTHING RENEWS ITSELF

OFFLINE · ONE LICENCE · PUNCH-CHECKABLE · THE STANDARD

One payment. The file is yours to keep and keeps working at its edition; new editions issued in the year after you buy reach you by email as replacement files. Tax is added at checkout where it applies. Nothing auto-renews.

One email when it is on sale, from the studio; nothing else, ever.

A TERM, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION: NOTHING RENEWS ITSELF AND NOBODY IS CHARGED AGAIN. WHEN A TERM ENDS THE FILES STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER AND STAY READABLE — FREEZE, NOT LOSS.

QUESTIONS AT THE TABLE

Asked before the wire.

What does it need from me?

Speed · c, and in a material. It asks first for a frequency with its unit, an intensity, or a metal.

Does it send anything anywhere?

No. The machine is a standard-library Python program that runs on your own computer and sends nothing anywhere; the words run wherever an AI reads Markdown. No server, no account, no key.

What is on the record?

The self-test (8/8) and every command run on real example inputs, pasted into WITNESS.md as they printed; the punch on the face is the SHA-256 of SKILL.md, so a downloaded copy can be checked against this room.

Can it be wrong?

Yes — it is an AI reading a text file. Plane waves in simple, uniform materials; waveguides, near fields and resonant structures need a field solver.

What will it never do?

It will never let a signal go faster than c; never give field strength as a safety ruling; never treat a metal's figure as exact. It never helps design, make, grow, enhance or spread a pathogen or toxin, or plan work meant to harm.
