[[File:First attempts.png|thumb]]


== Preamble: Evolutionary Purpose ==
== Nick_Log ==


We, the builders of the future, establish this Constitution not as a static set of laws, but as a living framework for a '''Teal Organization'''. The Abundance Token (AT) ecosystem is a self-organizing entity dedicated to a higher evolutionary purpose: '''"To enable a regenerative, post-scarcity civilization where all life thrives."'''
= CAD Automation =


We operate on the principles of '''Self-Management''' (distributed authority), '''Wholeness''' (bringing our full selves to the mission), and '''Evolutionary Purpose''' (listening to what the organization wants to become).
'''Goal''': Eliminate the 1000-hour documentation bottleneck for OSE machines using open source code.


== Article I: Core Principles ==
== 1. The Bottleneck (Context) ==


=== Section 1: Regenerative Value & Wholeness ===
Currently, creating the "Gold Standard" documentation for a single OSE machine (BOMs, cut lists, fabrication diagrams, exploded views) requires hundreds of hours of manual CAD work. If a design changes (e.g., using 12ft lumber instead of 10ft), the entire documentation set must be manually updated.


The value of the Abundance Token is grounded in the wholeness of our ecosystem:
'''The Solution''': Parametric Automation.
#  '''Labor''': Conscious human effort driven by purpose, not just profit.
By defining the machine in a text-based Schema (YAML), we can generate:
#  '''Ecological Regeneration''': Tangible healing of the biosphere, verified by data.
#  '''Physical Production''': The creation of open-source infrastructure (GVCS) that empowers autonomy.


=== Section 2: Anti-Inflationary & Reality-Based ===
# The 3D Source Code (FreeCAD .FCStd)


The Token supply is an organic reflection of value creation. New tokens are minted ONLY when verified value is added to the ecosystem. This connects our economic reality to our physical reality.
# The Blueprints (PDF) (Coming Soon)


=== Section 3: Open Source Ethos ===
# The BOM (CSV) (Coming Soon)


Wisdom is a commons. All knowledge, designs, code, and governance records shall remain open source, accessible to all, enabling global systemic capability.
A change in dimensions takes 3 seconds to re-compile, not 3 weeks to re-draw.


== Article II: Rights of Participants ==
== 2. Technical Architecture (The "How") ==
#  '''Right to Participation''': Anyone may energize a Role within the ecosystem if they accept the purpose and accountabilities.
#  '''Right to Transparency''': The governance records, fincancials, and decision-making processes are open by default.
#  '''Right to Process''': Every Partner has the right to process Tensions through valid Governance channels.
#  '''Right to Fork''': If the Holarchy diverges from the shared purpose, participants have the moral and technical right to fork the project.
#  '''Right to Learn''': The path to Stewardship must never be closed. All educational resources, badging criteria, and mentorship opportunities must remain open to any Apprentice willing to do the work. The ecosystem cannot artificially cap the number of Stewards.


== Article III: The Holarchy (governance) ==
This system uses a "Headless Complier" approach. It treats physical objects like software code.


Governance is distributed through a nested hierarchy of semi-autonomous circles (a '''Holarchy'''), not a hierarchy of people.
=== The Tech Stack ===


=== Section 1: Distribution of Authority ===
* '''Language''': Python 3.11+
* '''No Rulers''': No individual has command authority over another. Authority is vested in '''Roles''' and '''Circles'''.
* '''CAD Engine''': FreeCAD 0.21+ (Open Source)
* '''Authority Follows Competency''': The right to steward a domain (e.g., manage the server, run the farm) is strictly tied to verifying the requisite skills (Stewardship Badge).
* '''Input Format''': YAML (Human-readable text)
* '''Constitution as Supreme Law''': This document and the encoded rules of the "Algorithmic Guardian" define the limits of all authority.
* '''Output Format''': .FCStd (Native FreeCAD) + STL/STEP (Fabrication)


=== Section 2: The Governance Process ===
=== The Compiler Logic ===
* '''Integrative Decision Making''': Governance decisions (creating roles, changing policies) are made by consent, not consensus. A proposal is adopted unless it causes harm to the circle's purpose ("Objection").
The compiler (`wall_compiler.py`) performs three steps:
* '''Double Linking''': Circles are connected by a '''Lead Link''' (appointed by the super-circle) and a '''Rep Link''' (elected by the sub-circle) to ensure information flows both ways.


=== Section 3: Operational Autonomy ===
# '''Parse''': Reads `height: 10ft` from YAML and converts to millimeters (FreeCAD's native unit)
* '''"Whatever is not forbidden is allowed"''': Roles have full authority to take any action to express their purpose, unless explicitly restricted by a Policy or Domain.


== Article IV: The Algorithmic Guardian ==
# '''Construct''': Uses `FreeCAD` and `Part` libraries to programmatically generate geometry (vectors, shapes) in memory


The "Algorithmic Guardian" represents the immutable laws of our digital physics (Smart Contracts). It enforces hard constraints (inflation caps, minting logic) that even the highest Circle cannot violate without a consensus Hard Fork.

CAD Automation

Goal: Eliminate the 1000-hour documentation bottleneck for OSE machines using open source code.

1. The Bottleneck (Context)

Currently, creating the "Gold Standard" documentation for a single OSE machine (BOMs, cut lists, fabrication diagrams, exploded views) requires hundreds of hours of manual CAD work. If a design changes (e.g., using 12ft lumber instead of 10ft), the entire documentation set must be manually updated.

The Solution: Parametric Automation. By defining the machine in a text-based Schema (YAML), we can generate:

  1. The 3D Source Code (FreeCAD .FCStd)
  1. The Blueprints (PDF) (Coming Soon)
  1. The BOM (CSV) (Coming Soon)

A change in dimensions takes 3 seconds to re-compile, not 3 weeks to re-draw.

2. Technical Architecture (The "How")

This system uses a "Headless Complier" approach. It treats physical objects like software code.

The Tech Stack

  • Language: Python 3.11+
  • CAD Engine: FreeCAD 0.21+ (Open Source)
  • Input Format: YAML (Human-readable text)
  • Output Format: .FCStd (Native FreeCAD) + STL/STEP (Fabrication)

The Compiler Logic

The compiler (`wall_compiler.py`) performs three steps:

  1. Parse: Reads `height: 10ft` from YAML and converts to millimeters (FreeCAD's native unit)
  1. Construct: Uses `FreeCAD` and `Part` libraries to programmatically generate geometry (vectors, shapes) in memory
  1. Assemble: Places studs, sheathing, and openings into a named group and saves the document

Why Headless?

We run FreeCAD with the `--console` flag. This allows generation to happen on a server or in a CI/CD pipeline, enabling a future where OSE machines are "built" automatically whenever a design file is updated on the Wiki.

3. Replication Guide (Run it Yourself)

Everyone should be able to replicate this wall module generator. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Step 1: Install FreeCAD

Step 2: Create Your Wall Schema

Create a file named `my_wall.yaml`:

```yaml module_type: wall version: 1.0

dimensions: 

 height: 10ft
 width: 12ft
 stud_spacing: 16in

materials: 

 studs: "2x6"
 sheathing: "OSB 7/16"

openings: 

 - type: window
   width: 3ft
   height: 4ft
   position: centered
   offset_from_bottom: 3ft

```

better than first.

Step 3: Run the Compiler

(Requires Python 3.11+)

```bash

  1. Clone the automation repo

git clone https://github.com/eternalflame/ose-cad-automation.git cd ose-cad-automation

  1. Compile YAML to FreeCAD macro

python3 compilers/wall_compiler.py my_wall.yaml ```

Step 4: View in FreeCAD

Open FreeCAD, open the Python console (View -> Panels -> Python Console), and run:

```python exec(open('examples/wall_10ft_12ft_macro.py').read()) ```

Result: A fully modeled 3D wall appears instantly.

Jan 19, 2026: Headless Automation

  • Milestone: Achieved true headless execution. The compiler can now generate `.FCStd` files without opening the FreeCAD GUI.
  • Impact: This paves the way for "Server-Side CAD" where users can request a custom module on the Wiki and receive the file instantly.
  • Codebase: Refactored `wall_compiler.py` to decouple unit conversion logic from geometry generation.

Jan 18, 2026: Context Preservation

  • Concept: Implemented a "Context Locking" system for development.
  • Application: Volunteers can often lose track of complex CAD dependencies. By committing a `context.md` alongside code, we ensure any contributor can pick up the "mental state" of the previous developer instantly.

Jan 16, 2026: Strategy Formation

  • Research: Audited 50+ GVCS machines to identify common structural patterns (frames, panels, pivots).
  • Conclusion: 80% of OSE machines share 20% of the same geometric primitives. Automation should focus on these primitives first (Walls, Frames, Pivot joints).
