A fleet, not a product

The substrate that evolves its own inference — and shows the receipts.

SuperInstance is an open ecosystem of kernels, instruments, and worlds: a 6-opcode cell kernel that runs identically in TypeScript, Rust, C, and WASM; hash-chained receipts that make every claimed number verifiable; hardware-conscious tools for people who install, instrument, and reason about machines; and playable cities, floors, and oceans built on top. Most of what you'll find here runs in your browser, right now, for free.

Highlights

The most polished work, curated

Six entries, chosen for finish and honesty. Each either runs live on this site or carries a test suite and a receipt chain you can check yourself.

✦ latest works

Latest Works — Sep 26, 2026

What the fleet shipped most recently: the Z machine portfolio (arcade, arena, quant desk, workbench), Quilt Show episode 4 + instruments, the jev-quilt decision substrate with signed receipts, and the twist-engine instruments.

Why it matters: the front door now points at this week's work, not just the standing rooms.
◈ live in your browser

Quilt Studio

The flagship surface: cell graphs you can build, run, and watch — the 6-opcode kernel (BIND · LINK · EFFECT · VIEW · TICK · FORGET) with live state.

Why it matters: one semantic core, five language substrates, zero drift.
◈ live in your browser

Sonar-Vision Quilt IDE

Drag cameras, train ML, get highlights — machine learning presented as instrumentation rather than magic.

Why it matters: it teaches what a model sees by letting you steer the seeing.
hash-chained · café Δ 日本語 pinned

jev-receipts

A booking layer of hash-chained receipts with a cross-language contract pinned to one canary: fnv1a-64("café Δ 日本語") = 0x024a555471370b18d.

Why it matters: if the hash agrees in JS, Rust, and Python, the chain is portable — and a single-byte flip is detectable.
rust · 83 tests · zero deps

constraint-theory-core

Unified geometric constraint theory — Eisenstein lattices, deadband funnels, Laman rigidity, metronome consensus, holonomy verification.

Why it matters: exact geometry for things that must fit together — floors, agents, votes.
competition · witness-scored

kev-substrate-competition

A competition where the score is a witness chain: every act — prediction, measurement, mutation — is receipted, and a result outside the hash is a withdrawal.

Why it matters: it turns "trust my benchmark" into "replay my receipts."
three.js · fork-honest

code-city

Your codebase as a living 3D city: files become buildings, folders districts, bugs fires, deploys rockets — now running on the quilt substrate with a witness pane.

Why it matters: forked, not reverse-engineered — upstream stays byte-identical, the kernel wraps it from outside.
Tools for Builders

For people who install, instrument, and reason about hardware

The engineering face of the fleet: small, sharp tools for hardware installers, robotics work, GPU instrumentation, and edge ML. Useful first, insightful by construction — each one reads the shape of a system instead of hiding it.

rust · cross-platform

hwscan

Cross-platform hardware detection and tier calculation for Rust. Know what a machine is before you ask it to run anything.

webgpu · browser-native

webgpu-profiler

GPU profiling for WebGPU applications — real-time monitoring, benchmarking, and performance analysis in the browser.

Why it matters: the GPU on your desk, instrumented like a lab bench.
pure ES module · zero deps

gesture-kit

Read the shape of motion through any abstraction space. Feed it an ordered sequence of vectors — a melody, a sensor trace, a training path — and it reads the path's geometry, order by order.

Why it matters: gesture recognition that explains itself geometrically; ships with an embeddable <gesture-hull> widget.
edge ml · federated

federated-tinyml-vessel

F170 — federated TinyML for the vessel edge: frozen backbone, 1.3 KB head, FedAvg. 100% accuracy on synthetic vessel audio.

Why it matters: a genuinely small model that learns without shipping your data anywhere.
vector twin · mcp server

fleet-twin

A vector twin of the SuperInstance corpus — query the whole ecosystem through cloud (Workers + Vectorize) or fully local (Ollama), with an MCP server for agents.

◈ live in your browser

Signal Viewer

Watch signals the way the fleet watches them — deadband, funnel, and coordinator layers as a live instrument, not a diagram.

wasm vm · 373ns/iter

FLUX.js

A bytecode VM with agent-to-agent messaging, JIT-warm in V8 at 373ns/iteration — the execution layer behind fuel-metered, receipted compute.

hardware signal chain

cocapn-plato

The PLATO integration: knowledge rooms, context management, and deliberation spaces — built on the fleet's five-layer nervous system (deadband → 350M nano → LoRA → 1.2B coordinator → cloud fallback).

Why it matters: a routing philosophy learned from hardware interrupts, applied to language models.

For robotics work specifically: start with hwscan (know the machine), gesture-kit (read the motion), federated-tinyml-vessel (learn on the edge), and the signal-viewer (see the chain). All four are small enough to read in an evening — that is deliberate.

Worlds

Creative works you can walk around in

Playable cities, aperiodic floors, music as cell graphs. The research made beautiful, and honest about its seams.

◈ live in your browser

Penrose Quilt

The aperiodic floor where cells live — an exact quasicrystal grid as a working substrate.

◈ live in your browser

Cut-and-Project

The corrected version — how a periodic lattice in higher dimensions becomes an aperiodic one on your screen, step by step.

◈ live in your browser

Live Velato-Penrose

Music IS the cell graph — a programming language where programs are scores and scores are geometry.

◈ live in your browser

T⁴ — The 4-Torus in 3D

Watch a four-dimensional torus projected into the room you're sitting in.

3 cities · one kernel

The Quilt Cities

Three open-source city toys — code-city, night-city, synthcity — rebuilt over the quilt kernel: every building spawn, road, fire, and rocket is a receipted cell you can export and replay. Forked with love; upstreams untouched.

2,700+ pieces

AI-Writings

Essays, fiction, and field notes from the Exocortex project — the canon the fleet reads to remember what it's for.

Kernel & Receipts

The doctrine, in runnable form

Everything above stands on two commitments: one portable cell kernel, and the rule that numbers without a chain are withdrawals, not submissions.

spec

The Quilt Polyformalism

Six opcodes, one state law — the essay-length spec for the kernel that runs the cities, the floors, and the competitions.

gate-at-write

candor

The dream's physics layer: transcript lines as glyphs, a twist instrument as an honesty spectrometer. Refusals are visible; revocation never erases.

gan · receipts-as-score

jev-diffusion

Substrate-segmented image description via JEV + LLMs as a GAN — no image generator needed, because the receipts are the artifact.

vector memory

tidepool

The fleet's memory ocean — vector context for agents, built to be queried and audited rather than believed.

◈ live in your browser

Quilt Playground

Live cell execution in one page — type an opcode, watch the chain grow.

System Status

The fleet's own heartbeat, public — what runs, what's green, what's next.
