Möbius

Large language models absorbed the commons without preserving who made what. Möbius rebuilds the lineage.

Twenty primitives. One mechanism. Name things in your language — not as a translation, as an original. Share a hash, not a dependency, not a repo, not a platform.

Computation is tree transformation. Your code is identified by its hash, your authorship by its timestamp, and your names are yours — in whatever language you think in.

Same algorithm, three surfaces, one hash

An arithmetic evaluator. No explicit recursion — the fold is declared in the pattern.

English — curly:

define abacus gamma {
    case (? integer? ,n): n;
    case ("add" ,(left) ,(right)): (left + right);
    case ("sub" ,(left) ,(right)): (left - right);
    case ("mul" ,(left) ,(right)): (left * right);
    case ("div" ,(left) ,(right)): (left / right);
};

abacus(list("add" 1 list("mul" 2 3)));
;; => 7

Español — spacy:

define ábaco: gamma:
    case (? entero? ,n): n
    case ("suma" ,(izquierda) ,(derecha)): (izquierda + derecha)
    case ("resta" ,(izquierda) ,(derecha)): (izquierda - derecha)
    case ("mult" ,(izquierda) ,(derecha)): (izquierda * derecha)
    case ("div" ,(izquierda) ,(derecha)): (izquierda / derecha)

ábaco(list("suma" 1 list("mult" 2 3)))
;; => 7

Français — round:

(define abaque
  (gamma ((? entier? ,n) n)
         (("somme" ,(gauche) ,(droite)) (+ gauche droite))
         (("diff" ,(gauche) ,(droite)) (- gauche droite))
         (("produit" ,(gauche) ,(droite)) (* gauche droite))
         (("quotient" ,(gauche) ,(droite)) (/ gauche droite))))

(abaque (list "somme" 1 (list "produit" 2 3)))
;; => 7

Three languages. Three syntaxes. Same hash. Same result. No one translated — they wrote originals.

Status

R⁰RM — the Revised⁰ Report on Möbius — is the working specification. The "0" means: the revision before revision. The seed before the tree.

The interpreter is under construction. This is a garage lab operation shipping approximations, not a platform shipping promises.
