mrlycore

The substrate of Mrly: tensors, atoms, cells, tiles, colors, images, seeded chance, json. A tensor is a small grid of bytes, an atom fills one with a carpet, a net, beams, or noise, and a tile is the recipe that says which atoms stack at which sizes, levels, and turns. A cell dresses a tensor in colors and tags, paint spreads a palette over it, and an image holds the paletted pixels and knows how to become a png or a gif.

Chance is seeded and seekable, so a grid grown from one seed grows again from the same seed. The ChaCha8 keystream and the natural logarithm are owned on purpose, so every draw replays bit for bit wherever it runs; the png and gif codecs and the json value are rented from the png, gif and serde_json crates, the value re-exported as Json and Map.

Parts

• tensor and atoms make and pattern the byte grids.
• tile holds the recipe for a stack of atoms: its group, parity, sources, and sizes.
• cell, paint, enums, and colors dress a grid in ink.
• ramp turns counter values into colors; resample rescales pixels and squashes them for hex.
• image, codec, and io turn colors into pngs and gifs, and back into pixels.
• chacha, rng, and state deal seeded chance, as one stream or one global.
• json, errors, logs, and trig carry the plumbing.
