Operational documentation
Technical reference for the Matterforma platform. Covers the language, data format, runtime, governance model, and API surface required to author, simulate, and execute Matter programs.
Documentation is organized by the three-layer stack: Matter Studio (authoring), Material Twin (simulation), and Material Cloud (execution). Start with Material Computing for the conceptual model, then follow the path from .matr through Molebytes to Runtime. Governance, signals, and orchestration cover the control plane.
Platform reference
Material Computing
The computational model: execution of programmable Matter on non-silicon Material substrate.
.matr language
Language specification for Matter programs. Files define intent, compile to PEPs.
Molebytes
The deployable data unit for representing compiled Matter artifacts.
Runtime (MFCore)
Execution engine that runs compiled Matter on Material substrates.
Simulation (Material Twin)
Digital twin of the execution substrate. Simulates Matter inside Material constraints.
Signals
Real-time event streams from the Signal Event Layer for system-wide observability.
Policies
Governance enforcement through consequence tiers (T0-T4) and compute tiers (C0-C4).
Orchestration
Multi-step program orchestration across services, drift detection, and agent patterns.
Integration and operations
API surface
RESTful contracts for artifacts, runs, signals, policies, and decision outputs.
Getting started
Onboarding sequence: environment setup through first simulated execution.
Developer handbook
Build discipline for .matr authoring, versioning, policy review, and signal interpretation.
