無, mu, no thing: the kanji brushed in twelve strokes, from pirsig

mu

無 · the piabrota umbrella · dogma · repos · decision models · charter · licence

In one minute

  • mu is the company umbrella of piabrota, an open software fabric made in Rio de Janeiro. It holds the dogma, the charter, the standards, the journal and the tools that every piabrota project inherits.
  • DOGMA.md holds the ten invariants. Agents fix every error a user or an owner reports, in short pull requests. Judgement is decision-oriented: evidence, a decision model, calibrated probabilities, rules that humans define, a verdict.
  • PIABROTA.md indexes every public repo of the org.
  • pirsig will manage this repo: smart notes, PARA and a track record of high-level decisions. brain/ is its fork state.
  • mu began as a copy of Ouroboric's umbrella. NOTICE.md keeps that credit.

The map

piabrota map: the founder approves direction in the Asgard realm (readiness checklist, kickstart graph later); Yggdrasil, the agentic factory, contains Odin, Jormungandr, Gleipnir, Havamal, Voluspa (the graph library, which gives Odin its graphs), the realms (Midgard and Helheim in v0, Jotunheim and Muspelheim later), the Asgard realm, and Ginnungagap (later), which creates realms, all honouring the Gungnir contract, with Ratatoskr, Norns, Mimir and Bragi later; the Asgard realm kickstarts and the other realms build companies and products, whose lessons and benchmarks feed back into piabrota

How to read this figure. Top to bottom, one lane per role. An arrow says what flows, and a red border marks a person or what the factory makes. The source is piabrota-map.json.

The factory's names come from Norse myth, and they are Ouroboric's; the naming and mythology record tells the story behind each one.
