Roadmap to 2028

The roadmap advances through constitutional proofs, not feature accumulation. Dates are directional; passing the demonstrations is the governing measure.

Vocabulary & minimal object world

Stabilize the Constitution; define identity, protocol, role, responsibility, authority, intent, outcome, constraint, and evidence; build a live kernel able to inspect those objects.

Workspace beyond residency

Demonstrate durable identity, lazy activation, and transparent references across memory and storage, with policies and failures visible.

Replaceable collaborations

Implement two versions of a system protocol family and substitute them without changing client models.

Semantic environment

Infer collaboration facts from code; declare irreducible intent; connect capability claims to tests, benchmarks, and runtime observations.

Reproducible realization

Resolve and realize a project on a clean host, explain every dependency and environmental requirement, then compare against a conventional build workflow.

Two domains, shared families

Compose software-development and document-oriented tools over shared revision, provenance, search, and collaboration protocols.

Constitutional implementation

Publish a working system, its evidence ledger, documented limits, and reproducible demonstrations. The name’s promise is met only if the constitutional tests pass.
