What it runs

Host daemon, IPC and UI shell
Local AI and inference
Graphics, canvas and offline baking
Vision, bakes and rasterization
DSL compilers and language syntax
Spatial dynamics, physics and astrolabe
State, version control, VRAM and memory
Verification, benchmarks and test runners
Engine drivers and system hosts
Decoding and speculative engines
World state, carts, MUD and input
MIDI 2.0, DSP, DJ mixer and visualizer
5D starmap with harmonic oscillation
HTML5 emitter and declarative Vixiscript compiler

108 application executables, 272 MB in total (counted 2026-09-19)

How it sees: in progress

Vision work being ported into the engine:

Screen capture with tile-hash change detection and perceptual hashing
Colour harmony and palettes
Contours, extrusion and signed distance fields from images
Sprite and texture atlas generation
Sound as landscape: audio spectra turned into a living soundwave ecology
Sheet music read into notes, for books and lore audio
Replayable input, so a run can be driven the same way twice

from the vision port plan, 2026-08-11. Planned and in progress, not shipped.
