Aetheric is a next-generation, GPU-accelerated, GNU Guile Scheme-extensible text designed to be the definitive long-term editing environment for power users.
- RMS Microkernel (Rust, headless) — owns text storage (Stratum), rendering (Nova GPU / Penumbra TTY), and binary IPC (Morpheus). Never evaluates scripts.
- Majestic (GNU Guile 3.0+) — the executive brain: keymaps, modes, hooks, extensions, LSP clients, packages, Celestial outliner, Nexus Git interface, Architect agentic surface, and the AI agent runtime.
The two processes communicate over Morpheus, a zero-copy Cap'n Proto IPC
broker. Majestic loads the C-ABI bridge librms_ipc.so via (aetheric rms-ipc).
