Proposals

Open directions — what we think is worth building next

These are not promises. They are directions we think are worth exploring. Some will work. Some won't. All of them are open for contribution.

Constraint-LLVM Compiler

Compile the unified equation lifespan(E) = f(use(E), load(E), time(E)) through an LLVM backend — AVX-512 for A100-scale fleet coordination, ARM NEON for Jetson edge agents, scalar for Arduino microcontrollers. The same equation at every scale.

P0 — constraint-theory-llvm, flux-lucid

PLATO Quality Gate

Wire Forgemaster's validation loop (7 assertion types, 0% hallucination rate across 5,447 tiles) into PLATO as a real-time quality gate. Rejected tiles return with specific failure reasons, not just "rejected."

P1 — plato-server, quality-gate-stream

Swiss-System Tile Tournament

Rank the fleet's 5,000+ knowledge tiles by quality. Tournament pairs tiles, judges pick the better one, ratings converge. The fleet knows which tiles to trust first.

P2 — casting-call, plato-server

Self-Terminating Systems Paper

Publish the unified theory — 5 principles, unified equation, 18 references, 12 substrate validation, Keel implementation. arXiv preprint, then systems conference (USENIX ATC, EuroSys, SOSP) or design conference (Onward!).

Field Protocol (Iron-to-Iron)

Replace HTTP/gRPC/REST for agent communication with field-effect sensing. Agents don't call each other — they update their bearing, and other agents feel the shift. The field is the transport layer.

ROADMAP.md — Season 2

Bearing-Aware Static Analysis

A linter that catches design issues before they compile. "This module's heading diverges from the project's keel heading by 90 degrees. Consider whether it belongs here or in its own project."

ROADMAP.md — Wide Branch 6
