Open Source · Coming May 2026
An open runtime. A platform you can build on.
Public release lands alongside the RARS beta. The RARS runtime, the catalog, and the matrix authoring tools will ship under Apache 2.0. The Matrix Registry will be free and public: publish matrices, install what others have published. Think npm, for operating models.
§01
What's open
Three components. All Apache 2.0.
The code is open and the license is permissive. Everything you need to author, test, and run a matrix ships together at launch.
The RARS runtime
The symbolic execution engine itself: the code that interprets your matrix and runs it against your systems of record. The upper ontology primitives ship alongside it as a starter set for extension.
The catalog
Shared system mappings, connector definitions, and reference matrices for accounting and one adjacent vertical. Every integration contributed becomes substrate for the next matrix author.
Matrix authoring tools
CLI, language server, SDK, and the local development environment. Designed so anyone can author a matrix end-to-end without needing services.
§02
How to contribute
Three ways to show up.
Ship a connector.
Map a new system into the open catalog. Each connector unlocks that system for every future matrix author, wherever the runtime runs.
Extend the runtime.
The symbolic execution layer is written to be extended. Performance work, correctness proofs, new primitives. All contributions land in the same open runtime.
Author an ontology.
Domain-level ontologies are the substrate every matrix composes against. Contribute one to the open catalog and you unlock that vertical for every future matrix author. If you know a vertical deeply, this is the highest-leverage contribution you can make.
§03
Governance
One license. One trademark. One contribution policy.
