EigenScript
languageA standalone language with native observer semantics, written as a single zero-dependency C binary. Its stack-based bytecode VM, NaN-boxed slots, JIT, trace tape, and temporal interrogatives make the runtime an object of study.
Independent systems lab / built with EigenScript
Build
the whole
machine.
Inaugural Systems is a one-person lab building an entire software stack from first principles — a language with native observer semantics, and the AI, game, emulator, and SAT solver that stress-test it.
Every line built on a 2007 dual-core Pentium T3200. The constraint is the method. This site is served by EigenScript — a single self-contained binary.
Selected work
Runtime pressure, made visible
The language adds a primitive; a consumer leans on it; the gap surfaced downstream becomes the next feature upstream.
ouroboros
self-hostingA self-hosting compiler for EigenScript, written in EigenScript — source to the C VM’s exact bytecode, run on the same engine and JIT. The compiler reproduces its own front-end and codegen byte-for-byte.
A hard boundary
Seventeen-year-old silicon, not a metaphor.
THE CONSTRAINT
Language, JIT, self-training AI, SAT solver, and Game Boy emulator were engineered on a 2007 dual-core Pentium T3200. The machine turns abstract design choices into practical questions.
THE LOOP
Demanding workloads uncover real gaps in a signature feature. Fix the root, add the regression test, and let the next workload take its turn. The work is measured against real consumers, not imagined ones.
