The "design philosophy" behind TempleOS was schizophrenic delusion, there's no reason anyone else concerned about the value of the code, rather than "creating God's temple on Earth" or whatever, needs to concern themselves with those aspects of it.
Perhaps Temple OS shouldn't be evaluated by ordinary software standards. It is more or less useless as a general purpose operating system. It may have value in education, but in my opinion, it should be treated as an artwork when assessing its merit
From what I understand, Terry was trying to capture the magic of early personal computers, hence no virtual memory or process isolation. A low-stakes environment for hobbyists and tinkerers to play around in. Adding network support raises the stakes a bit.

Forking TempleOS and working on it is the fetishization of schizophrenic delusion, so at the least it should stay consistent with the schizophrenic's clearly expressed ends. If people want to do their own thing, they should come up with their own thing.
