Software that coexists, coordinates, and evolves together.
Today, every application is an island. It has its own data model, its own rules, its own language. Moving information between systems means building bridges that break every time either side changes.
We believe software should share a common grammar. When two applications describe their behavior in .orb, they can understand each other natively. Data flows without translation layers. Rules compose without glue code.
The current model concentrates power. A few platforms own the tools, the data, and the distribution. Communities that build on those platforms rent their digital presence.
Almadar changes this. Orb is open source. The standard library is open source. When a community describes their domain in Orb, they own that description. They can compile it to any platform, host it anywhere, and evolve it on their own terms.
A world model is a formal description of how a domain works: what exists, how it changes, what the rules are. In .orb, a healthcare scheduling system and an inventory tracker are both world models. They can be validated independently and composed together.
This is the long game. When enough domains have formal models, software stops being a collection of isolated programs and becomes a shared, interoperable digital reality. Each model is a building block. Each composition creates something new.
The shared digital reality starts with the first model. Write yours.
