MetaCRDT

A substrate for structured coordination, local‑first computation, and human–to-agent symbioic interface.

Why MetaCRDT?

MetaCRDT is a unified lattice of Conflict‑Free Replicated Data‑Types (CRDTs), a typed task/agent model, and a local‑first execution kernel. Together, these primitives let us express arbitrarily rich workflows—from compliance data‑rooms to generative group games—while preserving:

  • State Convergence — Strong eventual consistency across arbitrary network partitions.
  • Auditability — Verifiable provenance and cryptographic time‑stamping of every mutation.
  • Composability — Typed schemas that compile to SQLite, Postgres, and Cloudflare Durable Objects.
  • Agent‑Native Semantics — Deterministic slots where LLM agents can observe, propose, and merge changes alongside humans.

Ongoing Research Programmes

  • datarooms.metacrdt.com

    Structured Workspaces for compliance, onboarding, and regulated operations.

    Procedural Narrative Systems where an AI Dungeon Master orchestrates branching story graphs in group chat.

Architectural Stack

  1. Effect‑Core Runtime – Pure functional, interruptible fibers scheduling deterministic computations.
  2. CRDT Kernel – Op‑based, delta‑encoded structures (G‑Counter, MV‑Register, Last‑Writer‑Wins Set, custom λ‑CRDTs).
  3. Agent Interface Layer – Canonical event log → embedding cache → reflection prompts → merge‑proposal objects.
  4. Transport Adapters – Gateways for WebSocket, Durable Objects, Server‑Sent Events, and p2p WebRTC.
  5. Type Generation Pipeline – Single source of truth in @effect/schema → TypeScript types, JSON Schema, SQL DDL, and OpenAPI.
