Living Systems — What's Running Now

Real-time status of the ecoPrimals sovereign mesh: 12 gates ONLINE, 6 NUCLEUS, 4-architecture depot, rootPulse 6/6 REGISTERED.

The Mesh Is Alive

This is not a description of future work. It is running.

12 gates ONLINE. NUCLEUS on 6 gates. Cascade autonomous across 4 architectures. rootPulse 6/6 graphs REGISTERED. bonsai-bt DECIDE layer ingesting. ZERO P0s. ZERO P1s. ZERO P2s. Pipeline + provenance CONVERGED.

Live Capabilities

When a gate starts Songbird, it announces its capabilities to the mesh. Other gates can then invoke any capability by name — songBird routes to the best available provider.

Currently Routed

Capability	Provider	Path	Use
`http.proxy`	sporeGate	LAN direct	HTTP routing to mesh services
`peer.connect`	all meshed gates	bilateral TCP	Mesh peering, 0ms LAN
`capability.call`	sporeGate → ironGate	LAN direct	Cross-gate compute dispatch
`build.release`	sporeGate	local	Sovereign CI binary builds
`cascade.sync`	golgi	WG	15-min quorum cascade timer

Deploying

Capability	Provider	Status
`jupyter.execute`	ironGate	JupyterHub 5.4.5 LIVE — `lab.primals.eco → 200`
`footprint.serve`	sporeGate	LIVE — footprint.primals.eco (200, 216ms)
`esotericwebb.serve`	flockGate	LIVE — webb.primals.eco (200)
`ws.bridge`	sporeGate	LIVE — petalTongue `/ws` JSON-RPC on :8080 (Wave 150g)
`compute.gpu`	ironGate	RTX 5070 Ti ready, capability registration in progress
`compute.cpu`	strandGate	Awaiting hardware enrollment

JupyterHub — Live Compute

JupyterHub 5.4.5 is running on ironGate, serving at lab.primals.eco. The path is:

Browser → lab.primals.eco
    → bearDog :443 (ACME TLS)
    → songBird capability.call("jupyter")
    → ironGate :8000 (LAN direct, <1ms)
    → JupyterHub session

What makes this different from a cloud notebook: your computation runs on sovereign hardware in a private lab. No telemetry. No vendor. The mesh handles routing — if ironGate goes offline, songBird can route to strandGate (once enrolled) or any future compute node. The notebook doesn’t know which gate ran it.

Example Workloads Available

Workload	Hardware	Spring
16S metagenomics pipeline	CPU	wetSpring
GROMACS metadynamics (CAZyme FEL)	RTX 5070 Ti GPU	hotSpring
Salmon RNA-seq quantification	CPU + NVMe	wetSpring
STAR alignment (large genomes)	64-core EPYC (strandGate)	wetSpring
ET₀ irrigation modeling	CPU	airSpring
PK/PD compartmental modeling	CPU	healthSpring

Each workload runs against the same infrastructure that produced the baseCamp results. Every run gets a provenance chain.

Depot — 4-Architecture Binary Distribution

Architecture	Binaries	Status
x86_64-unknown-linux-musl	13/13	Current (rebuilt Aug 14)
aarch64-unknown-linux-musl	15/15	Current (ironGate sub-builder)
aarch64-apple-darwin	16/16	Current (graftGate)
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu	0/13	STALE (awaiting autonomous dispatch)

3/3 sub-builders enmeshed. NanoWire SSH Tier 1 RETIRED — builders communicate via Tower Atomic, no SSH dispatch. Cascade autonomous.

Sovereign CI Pipeline

All 16 primals are continuously built from source on sporeGate’s Sovereign CI. The pipeline:

Developer pushes to Forgejo (git.primals.eco)
    → golgi cascade timer (15-min quorum)
    → sporeGate pulls, builds x86_64-musl + aarch64-musl
    → ironGate sub-builder: aarch64-musl
    → graftGate sub-builder: aarch64-apple-darwin
    → BLAKE3 checksums computed
    → Binaries published to depot (membrane.primals.eco/depot/)
    → Gates cascade + pull from depot

13/13 primals converged — zero CI workarounds, zero code debt.

Mesh Health

The mesh is self-healing. If a gate goes offline:

Songbird detects peer loss via heartbeat timeout
Capability routing tables update across all remaining peers
Services that depended on the lost gate get routed to alternates
When the gate returns, peer.connect re-establishes bilateral trust

Key invariant: unplugging any single gate does not kill the network. The Flint edge router is the plasma membrane. Gates are ephemeral compute.
