Research & Design

Named concepts, specifications, and patterns, distinct from general skills and shippable repos. Each entry links to its specification, repository, or article where published. Implementations are listed under Projects; long form exposition under Writing.

RelationalFabric

RaCSTS

Specification · Active · see Suss

Relational and Causal State Transition System: a specification for serialisable propagator networks as first class values. Logic, topology, and causal history frozen into portable artefacts ('Rackets').

Specification · Repository · Article

Lazy Typing

Pattern · Active · see Canon (@relational-fabric/canon)

Write type safe code against semantic axioms while deferring shape specific canon implementations to runtime registration: late bound types without sacrificing compile time safety.

Repository · Documentation · Article

Claims

Pattern · Active · see Howard

First class composable propositions backed by deterministic predicates, replacing ad hoc boolean validation with verifiable, cacheable proofs in the Curry–Howard tradition.

Repository · Article

Universal APIs

Pattern · Active · see Canon (@relational-fabric/canon)

Single semantic API surface that works across all registered canons: code against concepts, not container shapes.

Repository · Article

Semantic Hashing

Pattern · Active

Hash propositions and relationships, not container structure. `{foo:1}` and `[{key:'foo',value:1}]` must be semantically equivalent for persistent proofs.

Repository · Article

DCSGS

Specification · Published · see Relational Fabric — library platform

Distributed Context Sensitive Graph Store: peer to peer graph storage with an immutable Semantic Log, Native Projection, audience based stratification, and ownership based conflict resolution. Whitepaper published; a bespoke implementation exists under NDA, to be extracted as RelationalFabric stabilises.

Specification · Repository

Infrastructures of Suspicion

Anti pattern · Published

Anti pattern: code that must interrogate data shape at every boundary instead of trusting semantic axioms. The structure aware debt Universal APIs and Lazy Typing aim to eliminate.

Article

Logical Tax

Concept · Published

The recurring cost of re verifying claims at every boundary without persistent proofs. The problem Semantic Hashing and Howard's proof cache aim to eliminate architecturally.

Article

bahulneel

Agent Brain Trust

Framework · Active · see Agent Brain Trust

Reusable expert collectives with friction by design: named figures, plausible settings, a moderator who refuses to skip steps, and synthesis that names what was traded away.

Repository · Documentation · Article

Dialectic Prompt

Methodology · Active

Multi voice AI debate protocol: real named experts, tension axes, designated challenger, and moderator led synthesis. Precursor to Agent Brain Trust.

Repository · Article

RPL

Specification · Active · see RPL — Relational Prompt Language

Relational Prompt Language: Markdown embedded reasoning with explicit relations, goals, and constraints. Reasoning state inspectable and continuable across strata and sessions.

Specification · Repository · Documentation

LRPL

Specification · Active · see RPL — Relational Prompt Language

Lazy extension of RPL: memos, satisfactory quiescence, and a small stdlib ($json, $write, $index) for deferred relational evaluation.

Specification · Repository

Remediation Record (RR)

Specification · Published

Version controlled artefact form for technical debt: explicit schema for drift, compromises, and remediation intent (distinct from ADRs and generic TDR formats).

Article

Military Pattern

Pattern · Published

Complete strategy, tactics, and operations hierarchy isolating each category of conditional logic to a specific architectural boundary. Emerged from finishing what the Strategy Pattern leaves unfinished.

Article

Tactic Pattern

Pattern · Published

Strategies compose tactics; each tactic encapsulates applicability and execution. The compositional unit the Military Pattern builds on.

Article

Abstractions as the UI of Ideas

Concept · Published

Data abstractions should work like good UI: making complex systems understandable and actionable without exposing unnecessary structure.

Article

relativistic-ui

Relativistic UI

Framework · Active

Paradigm extending Atomic Design with physics inspired context awareness: frames of reference, principles, and mouldable components that adapt to local UI state.

Repository · Documentation · Article

Planning based interaction chains

Pattern · Active

Replace rigid workflow gating with planning oriented chains: when a user attempts an action, surface prerequisite actions for completion rather than hard blocking progress.

Set High, Act Low

Pattern · Published

Semantic front end pattern: graph level visual intent and priority annotations set high in the tree, consumed by mouldable components lower down.

Repository · Article

Gravity

Framework · Paused · see Gravity — Relativistic UI framework

Vue/Nuxt framework implementing Relativistic UI: frames, fields, intent queries, and variant assembly without prop drilling semantic context. Paused pending a stable RelationalFabric base and retrospective on the confidential client front end.

Repository · Documentation

TotalPerspective (legacy)

Pondermatic

Framework · Superseded

Functional effect system rules engine (Clojure/ClojureScript). Early rules based product work; superseded by Howard, RPL, and RelationalFabric direction.

Repository

Bistromath

Library · Superseded

EQL/Meander inspired data transformation library extending ES6 destructuring. Legacy TotalPerspective experiment.

Repository

Krikkit

Language · Superseded

Key based object processing meta language with frame state and macro expansion. Legacy TotalPerspective DSL work.
