NatSci Studio

A standards-compliant monorepo of natural-sciences libraries with a Haskell-backed console (NatTrans Console) for minting, verifying, and observing scientific modules. Educational / research toolkit. Not a game engine, not a web app, not an Electron wrapper, not a commercial venture.

Status: alpha — scaffolding phase.

Contract-first

NatSci Studio is governed by a full set of contractile tridents under .machine_readable/contractiles/. Each of the six verbs (intend, trust, must, bust, adjust, dust) ships as a trident: A2ML declaration + Nickel runner + K9 trust-tier component + coherence manifest.

These are not documentation; they are the CONTRACT. AI agents working on this repo are bound by them. See each Verbfile under .machine_readable/contractiles/<verb>/.
