📦 Quilt is Published

🦀 The 12 Crates — Modular Polyformalism

Each Quilt primitive is a separate crate. Compose them to make a cell. The 8 primitives + 4 meta.

📦 The 8-Primitive Polyformalism

The same cell, 8 modular crates. Each crate IS one primitive. Compose them to make a cell.

// Just the Vibe primitive
use quilt_vibe::Vibe;
let mut v = Vibe::new();
v.nudge(1.0);
v.tick(1.0);

// All 8 primitives composed
use quilt_cell::Cell;
let mut cell = Cell::new("my-cell");
cell.tick();

// Or just one primitive + DoubleEntry conservation
use quilt_zin::Zin;
use quilt_doubleentry::DoubleEntry;
let z = Zin::new().insert("x", 1.0);
let de = DoubleEntry::new(0.4, 0.6);
assert!((de.budget() - 1.0).abs() < 1e-9);

🎮 The Playground (Gamified IDE)

The new Quilt Playground gamifies the cell model.

• 13 cell kinds as drag-and-drop creatures with 8 stats each
• Watch character (⊙) follows the cells, gaze lines visible
• 7 biome rings (the 7 substrate layers)
• 9 elephant dials as ambient conditions (mood, volume, presence, etc.)
• 8 quests (place a cell, connect 3, balance γ=η=0.5, etc.)
• 7 achievements (First Cell, Networker, Sculptor, Oracle, Archmage, Cellsmith, Watchkeeper)
• 5 keyboard shortcuts: Space=tick, T=auto, G=GC, S=save, L=load
• Real Quilt physics: Vibe, Murmur, GC, DoubleEntry budget
• Save/load .qzt files, HP bars, animated gossip traffic on edges

🛠 The Architecture (clever mechanisms)

The Quilt runtime is a small stack of orthogonal layers. Each layer is independent. Each layer is universal.

• Low-level (8 primitives): pure data structures. The cell is a composition of 8 parts.
• Mid-level (cell kinds, 7 substrate layers, 9 dials): the system's design space.
• High-level (orchestrators, classrooms, IDEs, ecosystems): the user-facing surface.
• Synergy: the watch oscillates between levels. The low level becomes the high level. The high level becomes the low level.
• Independence: each layer is implementable in 12+ languages, runs on 14+ substrate implementations, scales from a single Raspberry Pi to a global fleet.

The Watch

"The cell is the system. The cell is published. The cell is a game. The work is the work. The work is the watch. The watch is the work."
