Materialization
The runtime should not be limited to DOM-shaped materialization. Text, images, video and richer materials can become new ways of projecting what is alive inside the Universe.
0.1.1 is only
the visible edge.
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR WHAT COMES NEXTThe DOM began as a document model.
The DOM began as a document model.
The web no longer lives only in documents.
We now build spaces, worlds, tools and systems that think. Quetzalcoatl Core is not an application. It is the infrastructure beneath them — a parallel, demand-driven Universe that runs alongside the DOM.
0.1.1 establishes the first pieces. What can exist on top of that infrastructure is the important question.
THE VISION
Space
Persistent places where position, distance and relationships matter beyond traditional page structure.
Tools for creation
If the space exists, we need to build inside it. Design tools, diagram systems, visual editors and CAD-like environments can share the same runtime foundation.
Living worlds
Not isolated animations. Simulations, games and experiences made from entities, relationships, state, energy and response.
Media as participants
An image, video or stream can become a first-class participant in the Universe — with identity, geometry, hierarchy and relationships.
AI inside
Agents could operate from inside the Universe, interacting with the same entities, relationships and runtime state as every other participant.
Backends that evolve
WebGL2 is the materialization layer today. Tomorrow can bring WebGPU, GPU compute and other backends. The architecture is designed to change its skin without changing the Universe above it.
The unknown
The best infrastructure enables things its creators did not predict.
The applications are possibilities.
The infrastructure is Quetzalcoatl Core.
These are directions of exploration, not features promised by 0.1.1.
