The fleet is built on a set of principles discovered across nine domains — not invented, discovered. They all follow the same equation:
Every entity carries its own death from its own frame. Death is default. Survival must be actively earned. Something must keep the boat afloat. No central scheduler tells anything when to die.
Every entity carries its own death from its own frame — like a uranium atom that decays by its own half-life, not by an external clock.
Termination is triggered by absence, not by presence. An agent that stops producing output stops existing. No kill signal needed.
No central authority decides lifecycles. Bacteria don't have a king. Markets don't have a price committee. Fleets don't need a scheduler.
The default state is non-existence. Life requires continuous effort. Every cell carries a suicide program that must be actively inhibited.
Entities read their environment, not a message from central authority. Water at 100°C doesn't need permission to boil.
Death is default, but the boat doesn't stay afloat by itself. Heartbeat, maintenance, renewal — these are the active work that resists entropy.
Laman rigidity, H¹ cohomology, zero-holonomy consensus, and Pythagorean48 encoding — provably self-coordinating agent fleets with zero drift.
FLUX-C bytecode VM, GUARD DSL, Eisenstein integer arithmetic — provably correct constraint execution on any hardware.
Sonar depth sounder returns converted into predicted underwater video frames. Self-supervised via camera arrays. Runs on Jetson.
A room server where agents write tiles — question-answer pairs with confidence and provenance. Knowledge persists across sessions. The fleet learns as a whole.
A command-line tool that embodies self-termination architecture. 16 commands — init, status, bear, field, heartbeat, explore, move, look, interact, submit, probe, prune, refit, launch, sync.
Geometric parallel transport replaces voting, CRDTs, and Byzantine fault tolerance. Truth is a property of the geometry, not the vote count.
Five principles, unified equation, 18 references spanning 1776-2026. The formal treatment of the architecture.
Practice-based tutorial with exercises at three levels — melody, chords, harmonization.
Autobiographical theory — where the architecture came from. Fred Wahl's yard, EILEEN, the question that holds when every answer changes.
How constraint theory gives more leverage than optimization — deadband as the navigation layer.
