sema-metra--alchemica-mundi — Development roadmap and project status
Release Date: January 2026 Test Coverage: 297 tests (100% passing) Build Status: Clean
- 10 Axiom Framework — Formal axiom set with corollaries
- 6 Hard Rules (A-F) — Enforced constraints with validators
- Event Spine — Append-only log, context store, transform validator, world-binding
- DUALCORE Matrix — 64 spectral dualities across 8 domains
- Binary Mirror Table — 32 strict on/off gates
- Hybrid Toggles — 15 context-sensitive states
- Dual-Binary Bridge — 32 mappings (2:1 duality-to-binary)
- LFO/RNG Engine — Waveform modulation and dice mechanics
- Affector System — Influence targets with weighted application
- Ritual Execution — Condition checking, fusion signals, gate validation
- FX Chain — Mythological god-named effects with presets
- Character Waveforms — 6 waveform types with templates
- Patch Manager — Snapshot, save/load, validation
- CLI Interface —
semacommand with init, roll, modulate, ritual, status - Type Safety — Discriminated unions, typed errors, Zod validation
- Comprehensive Tests — 297 tests across 8 suites
- Core module tests (27 tests)
- Modulation tests (26 tests)
- Ritual tests (22 tests)
- FX tests (48 tests)
- Character tests (36 tests)
- Patch tests (35 tests)
- Spine tests (60 tests)
- Axiom compliance tests (43 tests)
The FX module currently operates in symbolic mode. Full audio integration requires:
- Tone.js Audio Layer — Connect FXUnit to actual Tone.js nodes
- Audio Context Management — Browser/Node audio context handling
- Real-time Modulation — Connect LFO/RNG to audio parameters
- Audio Rendering — Export audio buffers
- Web Audio Worklet — Background audio processing
The patch manager currently uses Node.js filesystem. Browser support requires:
- IndexedDB Adapter — Browser-native storage
- localStorage Fallback — Simple key-value storage
- Sync Middleware — Cross-tab synchronization
- Import/Export — File download/upload for patches
- Synthesis Ring Diagram — Visual representation of double-ring logic
- Real-time State Display — Live duality/binary/hybrid visualization
- Event Timeline — Spine event stream visualization
- Modulation Graphs — LFO waveform and RNG distribution charts
- Ritual DSL — Domain-specific language for ritual definition
- Conditional Composition — Complex multi-stage rituals
- Ritual Templates — Pre-defined ritual patterns
- Event Hooks — Pre/post ritual execution callbacks
- State Synchronization — Multi-client shared matrix
- Event Streaming — Real-time spine event broadcast
- Collaborative Rituals — Multi-user ritual execution
- Character Autonomy — AI-driven character behavior
- Semantic Analysis — Meaning conservation scoring
- Emergent Narratives — Pattern detection in event streams
Future development must maintain:
- Axiom Compliance — All changes must pass
validateAxiomCompliance() - Hard Rule Enforcement — Rules A-F remain inviolable
- Append-Only Integrity — Event log immutability
- Context Requirement — Every operation carries context
- World-Binding Feedback — Outputs alter subsequent inputs
- Type Safety — No
anytypes, discriminated unions preferred - Test Coverage — New features require comprehensive tests
When contributing, ensure:
- All 297+ tests pass (
npm test) - Build succeeds without warnings (
npm run build) - Type checking passes (
npm run typecheck) - Axiom compliance validates (
validateAxiomCompliance()) - New features include tests
- Documentation updated if needed
| Version | Date | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0.0 | Jan 2026 | Initial release with full axiom compliance |
Development follows the principle: a system may call itself sema-metra–alchemica-mundi only if it cannot be emptied without collapse, cannot repeat itself without mutation, and cannot describe the world without altering it.
