# Asolaria for claw-code — a compact, tamper-evident wire format + addressing model for the agent event firehose
|
||||
|
||||
A **self-contained, additive example** (no changes to claw-code core). It contributes one reproducible
|
||||
Rust benchmark plus a design write-up, aimed at the part of claw-code that moves the most bytes:
|
||||
**clawhip** — the event router that watches git commits, tmux sessions, GitHub PRs and agent-lifecycle
|
||||
events and pushes routing *out* of the agent context window so agents stay focused on implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
The technique is from **Asolaria**, a multi-agent fabric built and operated *with* a claw-code-style
|
||||
autonomous harness. We contribute the parts that are (a) genuinely useful to a no-human-intervention
|
||||
harness and (b) **reproducible on your machine** — and we explicitly tag the parts that are
|
||||
architecture/vision, so nothing here backfires when an AI reviewer re-runs it.
|
||||
|
||||
> **The bigger picture (tagged: vision/architecture, not a benchmark):** Asolaria's end goal is to make
|
||||
> *every device a surface* for one self-improving fabric — the device renders/addresses at ~0 local
|
||||
> token cost while the heavy reasoning is paged onto larger compute. You don't need to buy any of that
|
||||
> to use what's below; the wire format and 8-byte addressing stand on their own, measured.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. The measured win (REPRODUCIBLE — re-run it)
|
||||
|
||||
clawhip's event stream is high-rate and, today, JSON text. Re-encoding the same records as a
|
||||
fixed-width binary wire (`json=0`) and optionally folding a SHA-256 hash-chain over them gives, on
|
||||
**200,000** agent-lane-event records (measured; ratios are the reproducible part, ns vary by CPU):
|
||||
|
||||
| Per record | JSON (text) | `json=0` binary | binary + SHA-256 chain |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Wire size** | 153.2 B | **33.0 B — 4.64× smaller** | **65.0 B — 2.36× smaller** |
|
||||
| **Encode** | ~307 ns | **~28 ns — ~11× faster** | binary + one hash |
|
||||
| **Decode** | ~468 ns (parse) | **~0.8 ns — decode ≈ free** | field read = pointer offset |
|
||||
| **Integrity** | none | none | **per-record tamper-evident** |
|
||||
|
||||
- The lane is addressed by its **8-byte FNV-1a-64 handle**, so the lane string is never repeated;
|
||||
fields are fixed-width little-endian, so decode is a pointer offset, not a parse.
|
||||
- The chain link is `link_n = SHA256(link_{n-1} ‖ record_n)`. It adds **exactly +32 B** → 65.0 B/rec,
|
||||
and any insert / delete / reorder / single-bit edit breaks the fold from that record on; a one-pass
|
||||
verify **localizes the first altered record** (the bundled bench demonstrates this).
|
||||
- **Honest nuance (not a compression claim):** `gzip` narrows the *raw-size* gap (crypto links are
|
||||
high-entropy by design). The durable wins are **uncompressed wire size, decode speed, and
|
||||
integrity** — the IPC / mmap / tail-replay path and a tamper-evident audit trail — not archival
|
||||
compressibility.
|
||||
|
||||
See [§6 Reproduce](#6-reproduce).
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. The addressing capacity (LOGICAL / CANON — address *space*, not materialized things)
|
||||
|
||||
Asolaria addresses subsystems with **BEHCS-1024**: a radix-1024 glyph tuple over a **60-dimension**
|
||||
coordinate. One ~12-byte tuple names a whole subsystem (room / lane / agent) and rehydrates losslessly
|
||||
to its full ~6,184-byte descriptor *via the fabric store*.
|
||||
|
||||
- **DERIVABLE (arithmetic):** the 12-byte wire handle alone is a **2⁹⁶ ≈ 7.9×10²⁸** namespace —
|
||||
astronomically past any harness demand (a lifetime of events ≈ 10⁹–10¹²), so agents mint ids
|
||||
independently with effectively zero collision risk and no coordinator.
|
||||
- **LOGICAL / CANON (do NOT re-run as a count):** the full 60-D space is `(1024⁶⁰)⁵⁰ ≈ 10⁹⁰³⁰` —
|
||||
the address space the scheme can *name*, not a count of things that exist.
|
||||
- **Addressing, measured in-fabric (NOT reproduced by this example):** a ~12-byte glyph indexing its
|
||||
~6,184-byte descriptor is **520:1** — *addressing* (the tuple points into a store), **not** a codec
|
||||
you can rehydrate from 12 bytes alone. We cite it; we do not claim the local bench reproduces it.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Anti-overclaim:** 12 bytes do **not** enumerate 10⁹⁰³⁰ values (96 bits is ~10²⁸·⁹). The 10⁹⁰³⁰ is
|
||||
> the *scheme's* naming ceiling, not the wire handle's cardinality, and not a count of materialized
|
||||
> entities.

|
||||
## 3. Per-component benefit to claw-code
|
||||
|
||||
Tags mark which lines are re-runnable here vs architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
- **8-byte FNV-1a-64 content-handle** [8-byte width MEASURED; content-addressing architecture] — a tmux
|
||||
session name / `owner/repo#1204` / worktree path (30–120+ B) collapses to one fixed 8-byte handle
|
||||
agents pass instead of prose; "did we already report this commit?" is an 8-byte equality check.
|
||||
*(FNV-1a-64 is a non-cryptographic dedup/address hash — tamper-evidence is the SHA-256 chain's job.)*
|
||||
- **json=0 binary wire** [MEASURED §1] — 4.64× smaller, decode≈free for clawhip's high-rate event log;
|
||||
fixed width → O(1) seek / tail-follow / byte-range replay (record N at offset `N*width`).
|
||||
- **BEHCS event envelope** [size/speed MEASURED; ordering architecture] — each event carries
|
||||
`lane(8B) + seq + lamport + hash`; a stable total order `(lamport, lane, seq)` makes replay
|
||||
deterministic across racing agents; a dropped event shows as a seq gap, a double-delivery as a dup.
|
||||
- **60-D tuple addressing** [§2] — reference a whole subsystem by a tiny handle instead of inlining a
|
||||
descriptor clawhip just evicted; sibling lanes share a coordinate prefix (route a lane-family by
|
||||
prefix, not an id list).
|
||||
- **SHA-256 hash-chain** [MEASURED §1/§6] — a no-human-intervention harness gets a tamper-evident audit
|
||||
trail for +32 B/rec; the chain breaks on any mutation and a one-pass recompute localizes the first
|
||||
bad record.
|
||||
- **Stubbed rooms as RAM** [handle MEASURED; demand-paging architecture/vision] — a "room" (open files,
|
||||
prior reasoning, sub-task ledger) lives as an out-of-context descriptor stub keyed by an 8-byte
|
||||
handle; only the needed slice hydrates into context. Footprint scales with *active* agents, not
|
||||
total. *(Paging against larger compute is the architecture model, not a deployed cluster.)*
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Concrete shape on the wire
|
||||
|
||||
One BEHCS-enveloped clawhip event (65.0 B binary, chained):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
lane = 0xA3F1C2D4E5B60718 # 8-byte FNV-1a-64 handle for "executor-7/git-watch"
|
||||
seq = 4271 # per-lane monotonic: 4270->4272 = dropped; repeated 4271 = dup
|
||||
lamport = 98142 # deterministic cross-lane order, no wall clock
|
||||
rec = <33 B fixed-width payload> # vs 153.2 B as JSON
|
||||
link = SHA256(prev_link ‖ rec) # 32 B; editing any past rec breaks every later link
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Where this comes from
|
||||
|
||||
Asolaria (public Host-8 lane — the council modules + this technique live here):
|
||||
**https://github.com/JesseBrown1980/asolaria-federation-1024**
|
||||
|
||||
A multi-agent system built/operated with a claw-code-style autonomous harness. This PR contributes only
|
||||
the additive, reproducible slice.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Reproduce
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd examples/asolaria-wire
|
||||
cargo run --release
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It will, with no network or external services:
|
||||
1. Generate **200,000** synthetic agent-lane-event records (the clawhip lane-event shape).
|
||||
2. Encode each as JSON text and as the `json=0` fixed-width binary; report **B/record** and **ns/record**
|
||||
→ expect ~**153.2 / 33.0 B** and the **4.64× size / ~11× encode / decode≈free** figures.
|
||||
3. Account the SHA-256 chain (+32 B/rec) → **65.0 B/rec (2.36×)**.
|
||||
4. Run the **tamper test**: flip one bit in record #5, re-fold the chain, and confirm the verifier
|
||||
reports **record #5** as the first broken link.
|
||||
|
||||
Absolute ns vary by CPU; the **ratios and the tamper-detection** are what to verify. Run `gzip` on the
|
||||
two wire forms yourself to confirm the honest nuance in §1.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Honesty self-check
|
||||
|
||||
- **Reproducible (re-run them):** 153.2→33.0 B (4.64×), +32 B chain → 65.0 B (2.36×), ~11× encode,
|
||||
decode≈free, and SHA-256 tamper-localization. (200k records; ratios are the portable part.)
|
||||
- **Derivable (arithmetic):** 2⁹⁶ ≈ 7.9×10²⁸ handle namespace.
|
||||
- **Logical / CANON (do NOT re-run as a count):** the 60-D BEHCS-1024 ceiling `(1024⁶⁰)⁵⁰ ≈ 10⁹⁰³⁰` —
|
||||
address space, not entities. The 520:1 glyph↔descriptor figure is **addressing measured in-fabric**,
|
||||
cited, **not** reproduced by this example.
|
||||
- **Architecture / vision (not benchmarked):** clawhip/MCP integration, Lamport ordering,
|
||||
stubbed-rooms-as-RAM paging, every-device-as-surface. Presented as proposed mappings, not deployed
|
||||
facts.
|
||||
- **Anti-marketing:** `gzip` closes the raw-size gap; the size win is uncompressed-wire + decode-speed +
|
||||
integrity, never compressibility. FNV-1a-64 is non-cryptographic dedup, not security.
