Physical Computation

Language models learned to read. EDK-1 learns the ground. Five things a machine must know to act on Earth, each building on those before it.

01

Position

Grounding anything on Earth

A name, a sentence, a photograph or a coordinate resolves to one exact place, with everything known about it attached. Position is how a model stops guessing where and starts knowing.

  • Where is this?
  • What is at this point?
  • Which places match this description?

Discover resolves a question to places. Inspect resolves a point.

POST /v1/discover
02

Condition

Reading the state of a place

Terrain, risk, access and activity, fused into a single picture of what holds at a place. Condition turns ground truth into something a machine can decide from.

  • Is it safe, reachable, buildable?
  • Who lives around here?
  • Where does this hold true?

Inspect reads every known condition at a point. Discover finds the areas that meet them.

03

Motion

Understanding how the world moves

Flows, rhythms and change over time: what a place is doing now, and where it is heading. Motion gives a model a sense of before and after.

  • What changed here, and when?
  • Where is activity building?
  • What does this place do at night?

Discover results carry when each thing was seen, so change can be read across them.

POST /v1/discover
05

Stream

Watching for change, everywhere

A standing watch over a place: the moment something new appears, it is noticed, described and sent on. Stream turns a model that answers into one that keeps an eye out.

  • What changed here since Monday?
  • Tell me when a permit is filed on this street.
  • Which new hazards appeared overnight?

Monitor scans an area for new events of the artifacts you choose and sends each one to your webhook. Tier 4 and above.

Put the primitives to work

Four calls reach all five: Discover, Inspect, Route and Monitor.
