# A foundation to examine and continue.

Radiolaria is a technology and reference implementation by Akhtanin Andrii. The public materials offer an architecture, source code, contracts, recorded results and a practical way to continue the work.

Visitor question: Who created Radiolaria, and what is being offered?

## The purpose

Computing, assembled around intent. The phrase describes a direction: gather models, programs, services and devices around continuing useful work, while keeping information, computation and the decisions of their owners distinct.

The human ambition is to make more people’s knowledge and imagination actionable. A person can bring a domain, a question or a desired change, work with an assistant and arrive at a result that others can examine and build on. [Vision](/vision/) develops that purpose; the [demonstrations](/demonstrations/) connect it to bounded recorded examples.

## What exists

Reference v0.1 provides an inspectable implementation and a publication corpus: source, contracts, demonstrations, evidence routes, presentation, whitepaper and Geometry Atlas. The GitHub repository is named `hedgehog-os`; Radiolaria is the public project name.

The [Release](https://github.com/AAkhtanin/hedgehog-os/releases/tag/radiolaria-os-reference-g6b6f-v01) identifies the published files, with an [archived record on Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/records/23054590). The [current reference map](/research/#reference-today) separates technical acceptance, the publication snapshot, later navigation and future work.

## What can continue

The subject of a strategic conversation is the technology, reference, corpus and method of further development. A team can examine the foundation, identify a domain and build the integration and evidence that application needs.

Industrial implementation, deployment, operations and integrations are further team work. The reference is not an offer by its author to operate a finished industry SaaS. A useful discussion starts with the intended application, the owners involved, the existing mechanisms that fit and the work that remains.

The [Build guide](/build/) explains that boundary. The [Workshop](/workshop/) shows a practical human and assistant process for turning it into a concrete candidate.

## Authorship and rights

The public project attribution is **Akhtanin Andrii**. Source code is identified as **AGPL-3.0-only**. The publication contains materials with different rights; its [RIGHTS document](https://github.com/AAkhtanin/hedgehog-os/blob/800f38c3407b3f4ec93dc943c977ffeecb614881/docs/showcase/radiolaria_os_v01/RIGHTS.md) and applicable licences define their scopes. A mixed source archive does not acquire one blanket licence for everything inside it.

This website’s explanations help readers navigate the published basis. They do not replace its contracts, expand licences or make historical evidence into a new audit.

## Commercial licensing

**Commercial licensing enquiries: [andrii@radiolaria.dev](mailto:andrii@radiolaria.dev).**

Alternative proprietary, OEM, embedded or enterprise terms can be discussed for rights held by the author. Any licence grant requires a separate written agreement. Existing AGPL-3.0-only licences and third-party terms remain unchanged.

Technology acquisition with a defined technical handover can also be discussed. Commercial use under AGPL-3.0-only does not require a separate commercial agreement when its conditions are met.
