The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

ASE can lower barriers to entry and facilitate creation of interoperable software with greater longevity.

C2weakest assumption

That the autoethnographic reflections and prompt logs from these three specific case studies by one experienced developer generalize to identify broadly effective practices and will translate to non-programmer musicians.

C3one line summary

Agentic AI was used to rapidly reimplement Music Mouse, translate the Continuator system, and add a 3D UI to a tracker sequencer, with reflections on effective practices for audio software development.
