OKC Lab — experimental prereleases. Working software, public experiments and early builds. Free personal use unless noted. Commercial source access, integration and technical transfer by inquiry. Licence boundary →
Independent reversible-systems lab

Weird tools.
Runnable proof.

Small coders, reversible containers, visual and sonic carrier experiments, and the research stack underneath them. Some work is free. Source releases follow project maturity. Commercial extraction pays for the next experiment.

Your data should come back exactly. No receipt, no claim. No giant platform required.

Tiny machines with sharp edges.

These are deliberately small. Download runnable artifacts when available. Source releases follow project maturity; commercial integration and technical transfer use the inquiry lane.

OCK Rotor OCKR4

Arbitrary-byte rotor experiment with exact roundtrip receipts, a tagged OCKR4 container and a living encode/decode Matrix view.

zRank .zrk

Single-file reversible coder. Linux-first Rust ELF is the release target; multi-file wrapper/container stays a separate queued layer.

Single-file reversible coder with a deliberately paper-like construction trail: exact restore, corpus hashes, adverse results and reproducible measurements.

PUBLIC CORE

Not a codec collection.

OKC is a public research stack for reversible representation, transform pipelines and machine-facing information systems. The artifacts above are drops from a larger body of work.

public core

DUMB / Redumb

Reversible preprocessing and structural transduction: change the representation without giving up exact reconstruction.

public core

Rare1

Rare-token / singleton sideband representation and related experiments, with reproducibility and exact reconstruction as the hard boundary.

research lane

Rengrams

Structural repetition work: representations that expose reusable structure before later coding stages.

Status: research / evolving.
research lane

Sentinel

Higher-order structural and macro representation experiments within the broader OKC pipeline.

Status: research / evolving.
Forward vector: local and constrained machine intelligence is part of the wider research horizon, but unreleased systems stay unnamed until there is a public artifact worth defending.
PROOFS / BENCHES

Claims ship with receipts.

Benchmarks are evidence for a particular build, corpus and machine—not universal rank claims.

reconstruction

Exact restore

Input hash, encoded hash, decoded hash and byte equality where reversibility is claimed.

fixtures

Reproducible corpora

Small pathological fixtures first; enwik-style runs where useful; command lines and toolchain recorded.

adverse results

Keep the losses

Expansion, slow paths and awkward inputs remain visible. A failed hypothesis is still an artifact.

Next weird things

Not everything needs a checkout.

Small prototypes can graduate into drops only when they have a clean restore story and something worth showing.

queued

Rubik coder

Permutation/cube mechanics as a reversible coding toy. Visual state, deterministic inverse, puzzle energy.

defensive lab

Ghostglyph

Unicode ghost inspector: expose zero-width, bidi, variation-selector, control and non-printable codepoints in text or model output; normalize or reject suspicious streams.

Research / construction visible

The toys are the front door.

Behind them: reversible transductions, token streams, sidebands, structural dictionaries, local prediction and the question of what representation should exist before a model ever sees the data.

Private dossier / strategic licensing
by inquiry

For labs, founders or organizations that want the deeper architecture, private prototypes, technical review or a scoped research transfer. Not an impulse-buy PDF.

The strange shelf has receipts underneath.

Existing public work remains the trust layer. The shop does not replace the proof trail.

Commission

Custom reversible systems.

Scoped codecs, representation transforms, carrier formats, benchmark harnesses and small machines built around a concrete constraint.

Fund the next experiment

Money is allowed to be useful.

Fund a benchmark, sponsor a drop, or support a contained research experiment. No committee theatre required.

Collaborate / license

Bring a concrete question.

Commercial integration, technical transfer, compression, token representation, local AI, reversible formats or independent reproduction.

OKC / independent / artifact-first

Some work is open. Some is licensed. Some is unfinished.

We would rather ship a weird reversible thing with a receipt than a polished claim with no machine behind it.

Source / commercial licensing: mail first. Public source releases follow project maturity; commercial integration is a separate lane. blue@okcompressor.com
