03 / BUILD / TARGETS

From a source contract
to a measured machine.

Each target earns its own evidence. A host test and a hardware boot are different milestones.

The first FPGA component

256 entries x 32 bits
= 8,192 bits.

That is the capacity arithmetic for one chosen lookup layout. A real component still needs a scalar encoding, interface, reset contract, testbench, named FPGA part, clock constraint and post-route report.

The inverse decoder may have a different resource cost. Julia Char storage is not automatically a synthesizable Unicode-scalar memory layout. The whole program does not become a BRAM because it contains a lookup table.

Five separate meanings of start

  1. ProtoScroll bootstraps internal language rules.
  2. A capsule hydrates an application workspace.
  3. A host operating system starts a process.
  4. A kernel boots on a named machine.
  5. An FPGA loads a verified programmable-logic image.

Each deserves its own certificate: source, toolchain, target, input fixture and observed output.

Native protocols remain a research track

The recovered proposal includes ProtocolCore, PseudoBuf, PseudoHTTP, PseudoSMTP, PseudoIMAP, PseudoDNS, PseudoTLS and PseudoJIT. A shared architecture can guide implementation; each protocol still needs its own compatibility and security tests.

The public showcase uses the existing Netlify delivery stack while this work develops.
