0xff

wayfinding at the boundary.

0xff is the largest value an unsigned byte can hold. Beyond it, the container overflows and has to be expanded.

Computing is approaching a similar boundary.

For decades, software assumed intelligence sat on only one side of the interface. Now it sits on both, and the primitives built for the old assumption do not transfer cleanly.

Filesystems, networking, execution, sandboxing. Authorization, identity, secrets. Payments, observability, APIs.

0xff is an independent engineering lab (IEL^Δ). We scrutinize today's building blocks and protocols, and produce opinionated, load-bearing primitives to underpin the autonomous systems of tomorrow.

current explorations

filesystems as a universal connective tissue
verifiable, deterministic p2p agent interactions
fluid surfaces for agent/human collaboration
self-hosted long-running agentic infra
capability-oriented sandboxing models

●alpha

the filesystem is the universal access layer.

omnifs revives the dream of 9P with the technology of today: FUSE, Wasm‑sandboxed providers, and transactional writes.

mounts GitHub, Hugging Face, Kubernetes, Postgres, and Linear as paths. and counting. for humans, for agents alike.

/arena0
