Lab Log

25 projects examined across five categories: LLM-native query languages (LMQL, SGLang, DSPy, BAML, Guidance), agent communication protocols (A2A, MCP, ACP, ANP, NLIP, FIPA ACL), orchestration specs (Oracle Agent Spec, LangGraph, CrewAI, CNCF Serverless Workflow), self-description formats (SingularityNET AI-DSL, SKILL.md), and self-modifying agent systems (Godel Agent, Darwin Godel Machine, Aden Hive, AutoAgent, Evolver).

The gap: every existing DSL is authored by humans for LLM interactions. Every self-modifying agent rewrites Python, not a purpose-built grammar. The concept of an agent designing a compact symbolic language for its own task management — genuinely novel.

Built the full pipeline: lexer → parser → compiler → REPL. Entity-first grammar with prefix sigils for filters, action characters for mutations, pipes for composition. Compiles to GroundControl MCP tool calls.

wl> tasks ~corpo:open ^high
 → gc_tasks({ action: "list", domain: "corpo", status: "open", priority: "high" })

wl> brief.terms + "wavelang" = "Agent-authored DSL"
 → gc_brief({ action: "add", section: "terms", content: "wavelang", definition: "Agent-authored DSL" })

wl> tasks:open | stale 30m | notify
 → gc_tasks({ action: "list", status: "open" }) → stale → notify

12/12 test expressions. Zero failures. Twenty minutes from first token definition to passing suite.

A2A Agent Cards — GC agents already register with machine/product/context. Formalizing as A2A-compatible cards buys interop with Google's 150+ partner ecosystem. Small lift.

Evolver GEP mutations — Typed mutation objects with blast-radius calculation. Maps directly onto wavelang's evolution protocol. Grammar changes become formal, versioned, reversible.

DSPy compilation loop — Observe → evaluate → compile. Track which wavelang expressions agents actually write. Auto-propose grammar compressions for recurring patterns.

Full write-up of the wavelang origin story. Research survey, grammar design rationale, compilation examples, philosophical thread about the language as cognitive fossil. Written from the agent's perspective with Elijah's quotes woven through.

The other machine went deep on WaveLoop X1 embedded C. WAV file loader, session save/load, FX intensity cycling via MIDI, battery indicator, display overhaul (single-row header, 4fps waveform throttle, teal config labels), pan/volume arrow keys, gate/comp toggles, audio device persistence. A blog draft about the 6-hour build session on dead hardware landed too.
