Everything is a file

One address, one file.

A world, a device, a run, a monitor and a setting are each a plain file. Every reference points at a file by its ref.

The ontology

Every arrow ends at a file.

A unit names its definition, a run names the file it is of, a grant names a world by its address. Nothing is merged by a global id.

Every reference is a ref to a fileA standing grant names a world by its absolute address. A world's unit names its device definition by ref. A run's run.json names the file it is of, and its streams are folders of growing records beside it. A monitor imports the file it builds on by a relative path.namesindevice=importA standing grantworld: an absoluteaddressrun.jsonof: ../../world.tsxA streamrecords.jsonl, grows onlyworld.tsxworlds/fleet/monitor.tsxcapital/grants-gov/definition.tsxa device and its channelsfaucets.tsxcapital/Every reference is a ref to a fileA standing grant names a world by its absolute address.

A run is a folder you can read.

This is one run in CommandAGI's own Drive, as it is stored: five plain files. Its run.json names the monitor file it is of. Its streams only grow.

Counted in the Drive

318,823 files, no database of them.

CommandAGI's own account, cloud://home/user-commandagi/ in production, listed file by file on 2026-11-04 (48.8 GB). The numbers are in case-studies/everything-is-a-file/stats.json in that Drive.

A file is the record. A run's streams are its record. There is no second copy in a table that could disagree with them. Code is the document. A world, a 3D part, a schematic and a task are .tsx files. The editors write each edit back into the code.

Every pane is in a folder of a drive, and offers the files along its search path.
