purplepincher

A hardened subset of a 4,100-repo research sketchbook.

SuperInstance is a ~4,100-repo research sketchbook — one person thinking out loud in code, fast and uneven and honest about being uneven. PurplePincher is the shell an idea moves into once it has been built for real, tested against its actual use, and stripped of the speculative framing it was born inside.

01 An idea outgrows the sketchbook

Something in SuperInstance actually works — not "has tests," works, exercised through its real use case.

02 It's checked, not taken on faith

Docs rewritten to match reality. Every install command runs. Every claim is checkable.

03 It moves into the shell

Published, scoped, and stated plainly — what it is, and just as clearly what it is not.

live, not illustrative

Drag the point — it snaps to the nearest exact Pythagorean triple

This is the actual published constraint-theory-core crate, compiled to WebAssembly and run on this page's own Cloudflare Worker — not a reimplementation, not a mockup. Every vector you drag snaps to the nearest exact Pythagorean triple in a precomputed lattice of 40,384 states.

drag anywhere
Input vector 0.3846, 0.9231
Snapped to 0.3846, 0.9231
Triple 5–12–13
Noise 0.000000
Lattice density

Every drag is a real WASM call to PythagoreanManifold::snap() — the same function cargo test exercises in the published crate.

What has earned the shell

Eleven repositories. One field-facing product; the rest infrastructure — real, tested, working, but not yet exposed to end users. That distinction is drawn for every entry, because it is the honest ceiling on all of them.

DeckBoss
Voice-first, offline-first fishing logbook. Tap to record; timestamp, GPS, and transcript attach themselves. No PurplePincher server ever holds a user's log.
field-tested
pincher
The org's namesake. A Rust reflex engine that fires known intents locally in milliseconds, calling an LLM only on a genuine miss.
infrastructure
constraint-theory-core
The crate powering the demo above. Deterministic 2D vector snapping and geometric constraint-solving. 262 passing tests.
infrastructure
plato-semantic-search
A Cloudflare Worker doing Vectorize-backed semantic search. Deployed, 74 passing tests.
infrastructure
plato-engine-block-c
A ~2 kLOC C99 runtime for a sensor/actuator/alarm "room." Single-header core, 35 passing tests.
infrastructure
vessel-tuner
A live Cloudflare Worker that scans a fleet of Workers for health, latency, size, and security.
infrastructure
git-native-agents
Multi-agent coordination built entirely on git primitives — each agent a repo, no broker or database.
infrastructure
conservation-guardian
A budget-and-waste guardrail for LLM/agent workflows. Published on PyPI.
infrastructure
sonar-vision
A pure-Python sonar simulation, tracking, and mapping toolkit.
infrastructure
exocortex-mcp-ts
A zero-runtime-dependency TypeScript MCP server and REST API with from-scratch compute kernels.
infrastructure
intent-directed-compilation
A research artifact: a real 3.17× mixed-precision SIMD speedup with honest errata.

What this account actually is, one hop from anywhere in it

The repo ledger above accounts for code. This accounts for the live sites built from it — sixteen domains, each tagged by what kind of thing it is, not narrated into one story. This isn't one story wearing sixteen faces. It's one discipline — build a real, narrow thing, say plainly what it is — applied wherever the org owner found a field worth trying it in. The coherence is the discipline, not a plot.

use it — real, shipped, field-tested borrow it — a pattern you can copy without installing anything play it — a live simulation you interact with, not just read watch it — designed and being simulated, honestly labeled as such reserved — an honest placeholder, not built yet same pattern, new field — the event-log idea, applied here unrelated — a real, different product that happens to share the account
deckboss.net
Voice-first, offline-first fishing logbook. The one you actually use. Field-tested, not a prototype.

cocapn.ai
How multi-agent coordination works as geometry, not polling. The one you copy prompts from — seven working chatbot prompts, no install.

superinstance.ai
Every app is a MUD. The one you play with — a live, interactive simulation, not a page you read.

cocapn.com
Vessel-as-a-robot: a captain talks to their boat. The design, being simulated in the open — a real safety architecture, currently in progress, not overclaimed as shipped.
watch it
capitaine.ai
A name reserved for a future captain-facing brand. Nothing built, said honestly, on purpose.
reserved
fishinglog.ai
"Find the patterns that only show up across many sessions." Explicitly DeckBoss's sibling, not a rebrand — cross-trip analysis where DeckBoss captures one trip.
same pattern, new field
activelog.ai
"A log format that outlasts whatever writes it." The pattern underneath DeckBoss, named on its own.
same pattern, new field
activeledger.ai
"A ledger that's structured and written down at the same time." Bookkeeping, same idea.
same pattern, new field
businesslog.ai
"A business metric is only useful if you can ask it questions later." Same idea, a shop's ledger.
same pattern, new field
dmlog.ai
"A campaign is a living thing, not a file." Same idea, a tabletop game's session log.
same pattern, new field
makerlog.ai
"A project lives in the build log, not just the finished photo." Same idea, a workshop.
same pattern, new field
personallog.ai
"A personal agent should remember, not just respond." Same idea, a life.
same pattern, new field
playerlog.ai
"Player activity is a signal that builds up over time." Same idea, a game studio.

reallog.ai
"A camera sees; a log remembers where." Same idea, a security camera.

studylog.ai
"Learning is a chain; the next session should pick up the link." Same idea, a student.
same pattern, new field
luciddreamer.ai
A dream journal and lucid-trigger tool. A real, separate product that happens to live in the same account — not a sibling, not a rebrand, not this pattern.
unrelated

Each domain above is registered and tagged by what it actually is today — shipped, a pattern you can borrow, a live simulation, in progress, or reserved (capitaine.ai is the honest placeholder). The status is the point, not a claim that all sixteen are live. If a visitor wants to see whether the pattern under DeckBoss actually generalizes, this is where to look — not a sentence inside DeckBoss's own pitch, but sibling, specific things standing on their own.
