Large Language Model Architecture Patterns in PHP: No Mathematics Required

Book Four of "The Revolutionizers"

About the Book

Large Language Model Architecture Patterns in PHP: No Mathematics Required reveals the hidden design patterns beneath modern AI, without equations, jargon, or specialized hardware. Edward Barnard shows how supercomputing-era resource‑management techniques, PHP implementations, and hands‑on, real‑world analogies map directly to the architecture introduced in "Attention Is All You Need." Instead of abstract math, you learn through transcendent patterns that apply across aircraft, bridges, research methods, and software systems. By the time you reach the PHP implementation, you will already have lived through the core ideas behind LLM training, attention, context windows, and representation. This book teaches you to think like an AI architect: clearly, concretely, and with transferable systems‑thinking skills.

About the Author

Edward W. Barnard
Edward W. Barnard

Edward W. Barnard brings unique implementation expertise from programming Cray supercomputers at the hardware level, debugging systems at classified facilities, and solving critical Y2K infrastructure problems. His 20+ years at Cray Research included hands-on work with assembly language, operating systems, and I/O subsystems. He has published over 100 technical articles, helping developers implement solutions to complex problems. His cross-domain experience, from NSA troubleshooting to Saudi Aramco installations, provides practical insights into applying advanced problem-solving techniques across diverse technical environments. 

Edward has transferred his skill of bare-metal programming the Cray I/O Subsystem (with only 131,072 bytes of local memory) to novel ways of managing Large Language Model token context windows, unlocking capabilities not yet taught in AI literature. When a skill dormant for 35 years becomes suddenly relevant again, he calls this The Time Travel Pattern.
