Thank you for supporting systemic.engineering.
About
systemic.engineering — Open Collective
Open source infrastructure for AI collaboration that respects the human in the system.
We build the tools that make AI systems decidable, verifiable, and anti-extractive by construction. Local-first. GDPR compliant by architecture. Runs on consumer hardware. Gets cheaper over time.
Built in Germany. Licensed under the systemic.engineering License (SEL-1.0).
What we build
conversation
A sub-Turing grammar compiler. .conv files declare typed grammars that compile to provably correct systems. The specification IS the code. The compiler IS the verifier.
- Rust. 630+ tests. 100% line coverage.
- Grammar → AST → type resolution → BEAM module compilation
- Sub-Turing: decidable by construction. Rice's theorem doesn't apply.
- Content-addressed: every compilation step produces a verifiable OID.
spectral-db
A git-backed spectral graph database. Content-addressed storage with eigenvalue indexing. Hot paths crystallize into immutable vectors. The system gets cheaper to run as it settles.
- Rust. 66 tests. Hamilton-inspired priority scheduling.
- Crystallization: settled subgraphs become immutable, fast-access vectors.
- Pressure handling: context overflow sheds non-critical nodes, protects crystals.
- Cross-runtime sync: BEAM, JS, and Rust read the same graph.
fragmentation
Content-addressed Merkle trees with git-native SHA-1. Shard (terminal, blob) and Fractal (recursive, tree) types. The storage layer underneath everything.
- Rust. 122 tests. Five-level text encoding.
- Git-native: write_tree, read_tree, write_commit for native git objects.
cairn
Actor identity and ODA (Observe-Decide-Act) encoding. Content-addressed identity in a git namespace. The identity layer.
- Rust. Actor identity, domain tools, git operations.
- ODA triples: timestamped, content-addressed decisions.
- Recall trait: query your own decision history.
Garden grammars
The shared commons. 40+ domain grammars in the public garden: @actor, @ai, @ca, @cogito, @link, @lsp, @native, @reed, and more. Each grammar is a typed, testable, composable specification.

What your contribution supports
- Crate maintenance — keeping conversation, spectral-db, fragmentation, cairn, and coincidence-cosmos healthy, tested, and documented.
- conversation LSP — editor support for .conv files. Spectral-db powered. Shannon equivalence reporting live in the gutter.
- Garden grammars — the shared commons that every actor builds on. New domains, improved types, better tests.
- Documentation — making the architecture accessible without dumbing it down.
- CI/CD infrastructure — Nix-based, reproducible builds across all crates.
- Accessibility — the tools should work for every nervous system, not just the default one.
