Layer 1 — for the user1What you do with it — the apps tracks the code

On swarp.nl you log in with a magic link by email (no password) and land on the home screen: nine cards of apps. A new account starts with Profile, AYYA360 and Community; in the App Store you switch apps on or off. Every app answers one question — shown in italics below. Domain apps also carry their thread name from the fabric (layer 2). App names are given as they appear on the Dutch platform.

  All constable.blog posts on one square, with slide visualisations per blog; every count on a slide is machine-checked, every interpretation marked as a reading. Interactive pages (visuals) sit alongside; the threads connect them: motifs from the visuals (commenda, VOC, guild, box 3 …) are counted verbatim across all blog texts — on the Agora as a motif picker, in each visual per station ("this station in the blogs", deep link #station-n), and under every blog as "threads to other blogs" (/api/agora/motieven).

Layer 2 — for the thinker2The idea & the philosophy enduring

SWARP is a bottom-up citizen system: the goal is that you know what is happening locally and can find the people around you — per neighbourhood and town. Everything begins with the person, not the institution.

The image the platform carries is the loom. Each domain is a thread with its own role in the fabric, and the thirteen threads together make the cloth. The names are not decoration — they say what a thread does:

• Source (AYYA360) — the primordial light, the blueprint from which everything begins
• Warp (Politics) — the fixed lengthwise threads of local democracy
• Weft (Work) — the moving thread through the structure
• Spool (Kids) — the core around which the yarn winds
• Spark (Academy) — knowledge transfer as spark-jump
• Prism (PoC) — one person through a prism
• Spectrum (Meaning) — one light, many colours
• Dew (Health) — recovery and morning light
• Pattern (Atelier) — the visible image the fabric shows
• Knot (Hobby) — the playful braid in the thread
• Warp Beam (Home) — the beam from which all threads originate
• Test Thread (Lab) — the thread you test first
• Fabric (Community) — what emerges when everything meets

Beneath the threads lie two modelling choices that carry the whole platform and are not dropped without a decision: octonion cosmology with the free-energy principle (FEP) as the modelling foundation, and the nilpotent Rowlands kernel (Ψ²=E²−p²−m²) as a hard constraint: every change of state — by a human or by the platform agent AIDEN — must pass the same gate, with the same signature. That is code, not a prompt; it keeps human and machine symmetric.

1. 1Bottom-up. The citizen is central; an institution (council information, a source) is a possible supplier, not a dependency.
2. 2No dead-end screens. Every meaningful token — a thread, a colour, a party, a municipality, a type — links on to a deeper place. A dead end snaps the thread the user follows.
3. 3One concept, one source. The same concept has its truth in one place; everything else reads. A second mutable source beside a canonical one is an architectural fault, not a convenience.
4. 4Postcode is the truth of place. Where you are follows from your postcode (via PDOK); loose municipality or district columns are shadows.
5. 5The gate is symmetric. Human and AIDEN pass the same nilpotent guard; rejected changes are recorded per axis (BLUE/RED/GREEN/YELLOW).

Extended is the fabric as a whole; the other members of the family are parts of it that came to stand on their own feet: the MAZE-Bank (the book of the circle), Weather (the outer weather), Living Environment (the map of your place), Support (the human side), and the MAZE (the memory everything rests on).

Layer 3 — for the builder3How it works — the software tracks the code

Extended is one process: an Express 5 server serving the API and the React 18 app (Wouter, TanStack Query, Tailwind, shadcn/ui) from one monorepo. About 117 routers — one per feature — and some 200 pages; shared code in shared/, with the data model per thread (shared/schema/<thread>.ts) and the loom narrative for the AI prompts.

The engines

• App registry — shared/app-registry.ts is the source of the home screen: nine categories, the apps, their routes; what an account has switched on lives in user_settings.activeApps. Layer 1 above reads straight from that registry.
• Hub engine — one polymorphic table hubs (world × scale × slug) powers all 8 worlds × 3 scales; no bespoke tables per world.
• Nilpotent kernel — server/nilpotent-kernel/: the Rowlands algebra, the HD-fermion projection and the rewrite/guard machine every state change passes through (runGuarded).
• AIDEN — the autonomous platform agent (server/system-agent.ts) with the same guard as the human.
• FEP-Schank learning loop — navigation learns from use: route tags (PoC, RIASEC, thread vector), a next-step predictor and the guide "Swarpie".
• Postcode resolver — GET /api/postcode/:pc4 with PDOK as fallback; the only source of place.
• Login — the magic link by email only (Resend); session shared across the family on .swarp.nl.
• For agents — an MCP server and a small SDK (mcp-server/, sdk/).

Building and running

npm run dev (development), npm run build + npm start (production, one bundle), npm run check (types), npx vitest (tests). Schema changes go as idempotent raw-SQL startup migrations under an advisory lock — the database is shared with Support and Weather, so db:push deliberately does not run in the build. Deployed on Render as service swarp, domain swarp.nl.
