Applications

Applications sit above the three-ring service layer. They consume deterministic data and optional AI output from the rings and present it through a defined interface. An application holds no canonical data — it is a view over the service layer, and can be re-provisioned without data loss by pointing a fresh instance at the immutable data underneath. The articles in this category cover both the named applications themselves and the design-intent material that explains how each surface is composed.

Each application here corresponds to an app-* directory in the monorepo and inherits the three-ring-architecture separation; none holds the authoritative record. Reader-facing chrome and design rationale articles are gathered alongside the application articles so that operators evaluating a surface can move from the engineering article to the design intent without leaving the category.

Knowledge and editorial applications

The wiki engine, the marketing surface, and the design-intent articles that describe their reader-facing chrome.

Location intelligence applications

The GIS analytics engine, the platform article that frames it alongside the rendering layer, and the user-experience design intent.

Input and developer surfaces

The structured-input gate that admits external files to a Totebox, and the browser workbench for working with archive files outside a terminal.

Domain applications

Surfaces dedicated to a specific operational domain — Building Information Modelling and real-property workflows.
