Free Computation Foundation

What this site is

This is the public index for software developed under the Free Computation Foundation. It is intentionally small, static, readable, and useful without a client-side framework.

FCF uses this site to make source code, releases, checksums, documentation, preservation resources, semantic artifacts, and project infrastructure easy to locate. CENTL is the first project published here.

Current project

Project	Status	Purpose
CENTL	v0.14.0 · Oasis release	Exact-first mathematics, physics, scientific computation, and verification.
CENTL-SCi	v0.0.2-Caramels	Local scientific interaction with semantic interpretation kept behind CENTL's mathematical trust boundary.
CENTL-MIRAGE	Source / research	Local specification ingestion, capability analysis, staged candidate materialization, and evidence planning.
CENTL CARAVAN	Phase 1 stable source boundary; later rollout work in development	Content-addressed authenticated preservation and availability.

Install CENTL

curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chasebryan/centl/oasis/install
sh install
centl-sci

The current stable product is CENTL v0.14.0, the first published Oasis release. GNU/Linux x86_64 is the active stable release boundary. The installer validates release identity and integrity and smoke-tests the package before activation.

Support the project

Code is only one kind of contribution. Testing, mathematical review, documentation, preservation, and infrastructure all help keep free scientific software useful.

Joining CARAVAN is itself a form of support. As public enrollment opens through qualified rollout channels, a carrier can contribute bounded storage, bandwidth, and availability to preserve approved FCF material. Until then, users can help test the signed join path, carrier policy, platform compatibility, and failure handling.

Financial sponsorship is available through GitHub Sponsors, but the Foundation does not define support only in dollars. A machine preserving exact approved bytes can be just as materially useful as a patch.

Preservation and The Bazaar

FCF is building an upstream-loss-resistant preservation and distribution layer for CENTL, including source, releases, build inputs, semantic artifacts, and recovery material. The Bazaar is the human-readable directory for FCF origins and preservation resources.

Rule: a dependency is not called preserved or publicly provisioned merely because a link exists. FCF must possess the bytes, an immutable identity, an integrity record, and the appropriate publication state.

Why simple HTML?

The Foundation site should remain useful after fashionable web stacks disappear. Static files are cheap to preserve, easy to audit, fast to load, and simple to move to another HTTPS server.
