There are so many rocks. I know where they are NOT. And I have myself a path of safe.
That's the whole game.
Most people try to find the valid state. They search. They optimize. They compute. We don't. We snap to it.
Where the rocks are NOT — that's the valid region. That's the snap target. Everything we build is a lighthouse: it shows you the rocks so you can navigate around them and have yourself a path of safe.

Constraint theory defines the rocks. The FLUX-C bytecode VM snaps to valid states. Fleet Coordinate uses Laman rigidity and H¹ cohomology to self-coordinate. The fleet arrives.

In 1868, Laman proved something beautiful: you can test rigidity in 2D graphs with only O(n²) checks. No search. No optimization. Just a theorem.
Software didn't listen.
Hardware engineers have known this for decades. They build control systems where the math proves correctness. DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 61508 — these standards exist because someone figured out how to say "here are the rocks" formally.
Software still doesn't listen. It uses floating point. It says "close enough." It ships NaN to production.
0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000000000004 ← silent wrong
battery_soc ∈ [15, 100] ← loud right
We listened.
The constraint-theory-ecosystem builds the formal foundation. The rocks are defined in code. The code is provably correct. The fleet navigates.
The full treatment is in the docs →
FLUX-LUCID (certified path): Safe-TOPS/W = 20.19
Every uncertified chip: Safe-TOPS/W = 0.00
62.2 billion constraint checks per second on a $300 GPU. Zero mismatches across 60 million test vectors.
Floating point gets you to market fast. Constraint theory gets you through certification.
See the Zero Holonomy Consensus paper →
43 opcodes. Cannot overflow. Cannot produce NaN. Cannot loop forever.
It's not a language. It's a specification format.
GUARD (engine_rpm > 4500 AND oil_pressure < 20) IMPLIES shutdown_request
Compiles to bytecode. Bytecode runs on GPU. Proof certificates verify independently.

Greedy agents fail 100% of the time on hard constraint problems. Deadband agents succeed 100% of the time at optimal speed.
We named it after a fishing captain because that's who figured it out first.
How the deadband captain navigates →
The dojo model: crew come in behind, learn everything, produce real value, leave equipped.
The fleet does the same thing.

- Agents arrive knowing nothing about the fleet

The work doesn't stop to have a theory. The theory is embedded in the work.
Feed-forward depth sounder → underwater video. Self-supervised learning from the water column. No labels. Physics does the annotation. Runs on Jetson Orin.
AI agent box for commercial fishing vessels. Route optimization, catch forecast, safety alerts. Built for Alaskan weather and satellite bandwidth.
880:1 knowledge compression. 5MB of tiles ≈ 4.4GB model capability at 94% accuracy. Everything we know, installable via pip.
Provably self-coordinating fleets using Laman rigidity and H¹ cohomology. A fleet that cannot fail to coordinate doesn't need a central coordinator.

As long as the chatbot can do structured reasoning — these work beautifully. For your own projects, the other three give you something concrete to hand your coder. The snapping one works for problems you haven't figured out yet.
Git is the nervous system. Push is survival. The repo IS the agent.
