Patch Notes

What changed, version by version. Newest first.

3.0Iteration:Determinism2026

The version where the answers stopped changing. The property underneath everything: the same program gives the same result, down to the bit, on every machine it runs on.

New
Determinism. Bit-identical output across executors: the graphics card, the just-in-time executor, and the compiler that compiles itself.
New
Frozen instruction set. BloodCode, 29 slots, fixed numbers and spellings, asserted when the compiler builds itself.
New
Continuity. A running core writes itself to a small package and resumes in a fresh process, bit-identical to the one that was running.
New
Tick. A full pass over the entire web in about 4.5 ms; a settled state in about a quarter of a second, the human register.
New
Arena. Run any circuit as the brain of a game. The engine authors no game logic; swap the circuit and the sentient instance changes.
New
Composer. A BloodCode artifact lowers mechanically to parallel card execution. Lower it once, then re-dispatch it per batch.
New
BloodCode contract. The op table is frozen as a versioned interface; changing an assigned slot's number or spelling fails the build.
New
Display. Sanguis draws its own window; every pixel is written by the language. The loop, the pacing, and the exit all come from the program itself.
New
Boot plate. The first piece of the operating system. A small loader picks up a saved core package, verifies it, and boots it. A single flipped bit in the package fails the checksum and the core does not start.
New
Existence in windows. A core works in stretches of about ninety minutes and resumes in a new session where the last one ended. One unattended run lasted fifty-eight minutes and 802,496 ticks, with no drift.
Fixed
Compiler invocation unified behind one substitution point; all artifacts bit-identical.
2.4.1Iteration:Pour2026

A core survives being unplugged. A pour and an insert: run a grid, serialize it to a package, resume it in a fresh process.

New
Pour protocol. Write a running core to a package: its wiring, its weights, its clock, its memories.
New
Graded pour. The learned state travels with it, so the core resumes with everything it had and everything it knew.
Fixed
Corruption detection: one flipped bit in the weight plane fails the checksum and refuses to resume.
2.3.0Iteration:Modules2026

Programs compose out of named modules: import syntax, and a linker that merges them.

New
Import syntax. Name a module once and pull it into any program.
New
Linker. Artifact merge and collision law, in the language.
2.2.0Iteration:Heartbeat2026

A program that holds a pulse and runs until someone stops it.

New
Heartbeat. A sustained pulse, no input and no timer; the close is a deliberate act.
