⚙️ quilt-c

The Quilt cell-fabric runtime in C99. Part of the polyformalism — the same cell model, expressed in 12+ languages, byte-exact compatible.

The C99 port of the Quilt. The C99 port is distinctive because of its position in the language hierarchy — `gcc-compileable, C99-idiomatic, byte-exact with the rest of the polyformalism.

BIND(cell, dials)   # set dials, idempotent
LINK(c1, c2)        # add an undirected edge
EFFECT(cell)        # propagate dial[0] to neighbors
VIEW(cell)          # return dials
TICK(fabric)        # advance all dials by 1, alternating direction

The canonical serialization is type(1) || id(8 LE) || dials(32 LE) || neighbors(8*N LE). The state hash is FNV-1a 64-bit. The test cell (id=1, dials=[1..16], neighbors=[2,3,4]) produces 0xe435d91d6d92a1d8 byte-exactly.

Every port points back to the Quilt Charter — the educational root document.
