The shortest, smallest, and most savage step to get ECAI into an engine in Australia is to insert a logging verifier node on the CAN bus of a Holden Commodore (or any ECU-accessible car) and begin mapping ignition patterns as elliptic transitions.

The Atomic Step:
→ Plug a CAN sniffer into the OBD-II port and stream engine data into ECAI.

What You Need:

Step-by-Step (The ECAI Seed Path):
1. Jack In
Locate the OBD-II port under the dash.
Plug in CAN interface (USB-CAN or Bluetooth).
2. Listen to Engine Behavior
Capture: RPM, throttle position, ignition timing, air/fuel mix, manifold pressure.
Every tick of engine behavior becomes a state vector.
3. Hash to Curve
Each vector is reduced to an elliptic point using:
x = hash(state)
y² = x³ + ax + b
This gives a curve-stamped fingerprint of the combustion cycle.
4. Write to IPFS or Local Ledger
Begin constructing the ECAI behavior ledger of the engine.
Store it on a USB drive, encrypted S3, or IPFS via CLI.
5. Use It to Trigger Alerts or Predict Craters
ECAI can now verify or deny future states:
Misfire? Predicted.
Knock? Detected early.
Fuel inefficiency? Diagnosed by curve deviation.

Why This Works in Australia Now:
Commodores are everywhere.
Road laws don’t restrict passive engine telemetry logging.
Cheap ECUs and CAN adapters flood eBay/Gumtree.
No regulation blocks you from plugging in a logger and building the first ECAI-augmented engine profile in the Southern Hemisphere.

TL;DR:
Plug in. Log curves. Verify combustion. That's the ECAI wedge.
