Key Features

Same DSM model as the AppKit version
Pure Python application over dsviper
Interactive graph visualization with PySide6
Full undo/redo via commit history
Documents browser, metadata inspector, commit program trace
Multi-user editing via CommitDatabaseServer

Demonstrates that the same DSM model powers both a native C++ application and a pure Python application. The 3-tier architecture is UI-agnostic.

3-Tier Code Distribution

All three projects share the same generated infrastructure layer. Only the UI and business layers change between stacks.

GE AppKit (Native)

66% Infrastructure

24% UI

10% Business

GE PySide6 (Python)

51% Qt Gen.

12% Kibo

28% UI

9% Business

Raptor Editor (Torture Test)

69% Infrastructure

25% Business

6% UI

Kibo Generated

Qt Generated

UI (Manual)

Business Logic (Manual)

Stable Infrastructure Ratio

~66-69% generated code across both pilot and stress test projects. Kibo's value scales predictably.

Business Logic Varies by Domain

Graph Editor needs minimal domain code (10%), while Raptor requires a full rendering engine (25%).

100% Generated Infrastructure

Types, serialization, persistence, database - all generated with consistent 57:1 to 63:1 amplification.

Application Pattern

All three applications use the CommitStore Pattern for unified transactional state management:

UI Layer AppKit, Qt, PySide6

↓ dispatch actions

CommitStore Transactional state with history

↓ persist

Database + Commit Engine SQLite + DAG versioning

Undo/Redo

Built-in via commit history traversal

Collaboration

Branch and merge for multi-user editing

Audit Trail

Complete history of all changes
