ClueSurf ¤ is a collection of projects about software, language, and the universe. It's not necessarily an organization or team, just a place to group related work under one name.
The main goal is to explore how the universe works and share tools, languages, and ideas on it. Building things to model reality and make knowledge easier to understand.
| Work | Note |
|---|---|
vibe |
Vibe: A Discrete Possible Universe |
| A physics built from discrete geometry. | |
term |
Term: A Reactive Modeling Language |
| A reactive compiler built on Tree. | |
tone |
Tone: A Codified Phonetic Alphabet |
| A writing system for all languages. | |
tune |
Tune: A Measured Speaking Language |
| A conlang for meditating on reality. | |
tree |
Tree: A Flexible Modeling Notation |
| A simple data modeling notation. | |
talk |
Talk: A Phonetic Sequence Encoding |
| An ASCII notation for pronunciation. |
Each project's underlying motivation is simplifying information and computation for the general public.
Want to build tools to create apps easily and clearly. Like Rails, Haxe, or Dart, but more flexible and more beautiful.
Working on a base language called Tree. It's like JSON or YAML, but simpler and more readable.
From Tree, compile into native code using Term.
Tone is a writing system made from simple shapes. It can be used for any spoken language. You can write with a pen, stick, or stylus. There are 36 base glyphs, plus tone markers.
A TypeScript library turns text into this format. Made this into a font called ToneEtch.
Tune is a made-up language for modeling thoughts. It started from imagining how ancient people might have spoken. It can be used to name new ideas and create stories.
It helps you think and describe things in new ways. The goal is to make it a bridge between human thought and code.
Vibe is a model of physics built from discrete geometry rather than continuous space. It asks what the smallest set of things is that a universe needs in order to produce the behavior we observe.
It comes with a simulator, so each claim can be tested rather than only argued.
