Engineering reading paths

Deterministic worlds

Explore the relationship between authoritative state, optional presentation and revision-linked feedback.

Start here

Key idea

Start with the state a system treats as authoritative. Then ask which inputs can change it, how a replay reproduces those changes, and which observations belong to a particular revision. These readings examine those boundaries through LudoWeave and Cogniform. Follow a system map for the architecture, a dated engineering note for a specific change, and the pinned source for its contract. Presentation and evidence have their own limits: a rendered frame, an audio device and a headless verification run answer different questions. The linked case studies make those distinctions explicit without treating an illustration as a measured result.

Systems

  • Project

    LudoWeave Engine

    A Python engine for small 2D worlds with verified replay, pause and single-step controls, seek/resume, and a tick-aware playback status panel.

  • Project

    Cogniform

    A 3D engine that lets software and AI tools change a scene, then inspect images and object data from the same scene version.

Engineering notes

  • Engineering update

    Verified replay gains a presentation pass

    M241 adds visible playback of verified Clockwork Arena recordings. A full headless check precedes presentation; recorded transactions and inputs remain authoritative, while live gameplay input is ignored.

  • Engineering update

    Record play sessions, verify them headlessly

    Clockwork Arena can record the input snapshots its play loop consumes and verify them in a fresh headless process. Recording is opt-in, capped at 3,600 requested ticks, and keeps rendering and audio outside the artifact.

  • Engineering update

    Optional audio beside the canonical world

    Clockwork Arena now documents optional synthesized effects through an explicitly pumped, callback-free audio path. The default Null audio mode remains headless and unpaced; device playback and human listening require separate verification.

  • Engineering update

    Bounded local agent sessions

    The CLI now documents inherited-stream sessions and a local MCP adapter for queries, imagination, atomic patches, and revision-linked observations. These adapters add no network listener or remote security boundary.

Experiments and explorers

  • Bounded evidence

    Inspect a replay boundary

    Interactive illustration. Step through an illustrative consumed-input recording and locate a divergent checkpoint. This teaching model does not execute LudoWeave.

  • Bounded evidence

    Inspect the Clockwork Arena capture

    Recorded capture. Compare the existing local frames and recorded hashes. The capture retains its original environment and limitations.
