PROJECT 01
Carnivore
A lightweight, zero-dependency, batteries-included BASIC runtime. Carnivore pairs a high-level interface with direct mode, devices, graphics, objects, namespaces, and low-level systems access.
Independent systems laboratory / Since 1991
HeadSoft
We build compact, inspectable systems: a self-contained programming runtime and a governed intelligence substrate designed to make model-assisted work durable, auditable, and measurable.
Carnivore / language runtime
Amoeba / AI architecture research
Work in public
Two systems, one engineering standard
Both projects emphasize explicit behavior, low operational overhead, and inspectable mechanisms. One is a language runtime you can use today; the other is an active research program with measured evidence and strict claim boundaries.
PROJECT 02
Amoeba Core v2
An experimental intelligence substrate around language models. Amoeba externalizes evidence, provenance, selection, verification, memory, and cost policy so behavior changes can be inspected and tested without changing model weights.
Latest publication
Equal evidence, different outcomes
The first Amoeba paper asks a narrow causal question: when a small model, acquired evidence, and work are held fixed, can governed deterministic processing outperform flat evidence injection?
