ENGINE · ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
VANTA Engine
A native engine for worlds, simulation, graphics, machine learning, and deterministic state.
Products
Build the thing you came for.
Products are the user-facing and creator-facing systems in the portfolio. Their release boundary, maturity, and independence are shown separately from what they are for.
Featured
Creation systems first.
VANTA and Cartographer are presented as products with distinct identities. Cartographer authors space; VANTA runs worlds and simulations. Neither page requires the other to make sense.
Cartographer
Native spatial and geometry authoring with revision-bound validation, neutral interchange, and optional VANTA integration.
Product sites
Go directly to the work.
Visit each product's own surface for its current availability. A working website does not mean every desktop tool or hosted service is released.
VANTA and Cartographer
Explore the creative toolset, labelled development captures and Black Lantern Studio artwork. Tool installers, accounts and payments remain coming soon.
Visit VANTACortex Commons
Explore AI models and brain research, with project workspaces for datasets, training and evaluation. Published model discovery and authorized project operations remain distinct; hosted execution depends on the configured service and access.
Visit Cortex CommonsPersonal & local
Useful close to the person using it.
These products keep local data, local choices, and local authority visible. Optional Hub metadata never becomes a requirement for the core path.
HOUSEHOLD INTELLIGENCE
HAVEN
Local models, speech, devices, durable household history, and authority-gated actions.
Explore HAVEN →BUNDLE
Provenance, stale-data handling, deterministic projections, and optional connector boundaries.
Explore BUNDLE →Camera-Location
Evidence-driven discovery that keeps observed, verified, and authorized state distinct.
Explore Camera-Location →IDA CLI
Bounded catalog discovery, local inference, and read-only public results with explicit telemetry.
Explore IDA CLI →Worlds & stories
The portfolio has a darker room, too.
Black Lantern Studio is a creative direction within the portfolio. Its public page keeps approved identity and development status distinct from shipped games, rights, or release promises.
Black Lantern Studio
Story-driven worlds with a deeper shadow, developed through VANTA-facing creative workflows.
BUNDLE
A provenance-first personal finance direction for understanding where money goes. Demo states stay visibly separate from live financial access.
Product boundary
Role is not release status.
A product may be public-source, public-interface, source-available, private, or still under boundary review. The portfolio metadata keeps those dimensions separate so a product page does not silently become a distribution promise.
Use What the system is for.
Evidence What has been built, rendered, tested, measured, or published.
Boundary What remains local, private, experimental, or held out.
