The Algorithmic Universe · Build dossier

What the code says

• 10,000 particles, a 256-bit universe string and a 60 Hz cognitive loop

  Source constants.ts

• 16 λ weights in the law dictionary; it is mutable, so a new law can be registered at runtime

  Source services/analysis/law_dictionary.ts

• Objective A = L − λ₁H − λ₂F + ΣλᵢΨᵢ, 32 candidates, Metropolis temperature 2.0

  Source services/physics.ts

• Physics defaults to Rapier2D (Rust/WASM) on the main thread

  Source hooks/useSimulation.ts

• 50 telemetry fields per frame: 34 metrics plus 16 λ values

  Source hooks/useSimulation.ts

• The repository contains no automated tests and no CI configuration

  Source package.json, .github/

Module state

1. implemented

   Conductor and cognitive loop

   A state engine, structure and spatial scanners, a bestiary and an event bus seeded by xoshiro128ss.

   Source services/conductor.ts

2. partial

   Dual physics path and shared memory

   SharedArrayBuffer is used only when available; no cross-origin isolation headers are configured anywhere, so on static hosting it degrades to a plain ArrayBuffer.

   Source services/visualization/matter/MatterState.ts

3. partial

   AI layer with fallbacks, except the Oracle

   Senate, Scientist and Chronicler fall back to rule-based paths without a key; the unprotected path is the Ask tab, which throws.

   Source services/ai/

4. implemented

   PIXI WebGL renderer and IndexedDB snapshots

   10,000 particles, a thermal ramp, a potential grid and a Rapier debug layer; named saves carry a thumbnail.

   Source services/visualization/rendering/CosmicRenderer.ts

5. not implemented

   WebGPU solver and the worker migration

   Both exist only as 18-byte "Deprecated file" stubs; the worker migration is recorded as blocked in the optimisation log.

   Source services/visualization/physics/gpu/WebGPUSolver.ts

6. on roadmap

   Quadtree broad-phase, a CAS and ONNX

   Items from the optimisation log and technology radar; absent from the source.

   Source OPTIMIZATION_LOG.md

How this was checked

• The build contains no key

  The bundle holds only the literal PLACEHOLDER_API_KEY; 0 matches for a Google key pattern.

• The active physics backend is Rapier WASM

  solverBackend: 'rapier_wasm' in default state, plus RAPIER.init() in the initialiser.

• One implemented screen is unreachable from the interface

  The tab type and the panel render exist, but no control calls setActiveTab('Bestiary').

• The build matches the committed state

  A clean tree, with dist produced one minute before the HEAD commit.

• No behaviour is confirmed by tests

  0 test files, no test/lint/typecheck scripts, 0 CI configurations.

Limits of these claims

• "10,000 particles at 60 fps" is an optimisation-log target, not a measured result: no benchmark artifact is committed.
• Two disagreeing dependency declarations: the importmap in index.html and package.json name different major versions.
• Version identity is inconsistent: folder v8, README v6.5, package.json 0.0.0, technology radar v7.0.
• Interaction is pointer-centric: no touch handlers exist and the meta tag blocks zooming.
• tsconfig has no strict flag and @types/react is 18 under React 19: typing is looser than the docs imply.
• The tree still holds 18-byte deprecated stubs and three unused components, and two reset functions are empty bodies.

Build directory

algorithmic-universe-v8/dist

The page loads Tailwind and fonts from a third-party CDN, so styling degrades without network access. The Ask tab is inactive without a Gemini key: this build was produced with a literal placeholder instead of a key, while every other mode works.

The page itself does not confirm availability: the host is checked when the build is published.
