Sprig & Prose
A small system for describing worlds and observing how systems respond to them.

What this system is
Sprig and prose separate two concerns.
prose describes a world:
- what exists
- how things relate
- what patterns are possible
sprig makes a universe visible and observes reality:
- compiles a universe into a manifest
- explores it through a local UI
- records receipts — evidence from real code
