Cartilage Run and Sketch Index
July 1, 2026

This page separates the current Cartilage Core mechanism from seven older run, timeline, sketch, and debug pages.

The set includes public source and RTL, a checked ripple-adder run, recorded reconfiguration timelines, visual placement sketches, source artifacts, and render outputs. The useful job is to keep each evidence layer easy to tell apart.

Cartilage indexUse this page to choose between current Cartilage explainers, checked runs, recorded timelines, and visual placement sketches.

Included: the current core package, seven run/sketch/debug links, their role in the Cartilage material, and the current reading order.

Start Here

If you are new to Cartilage, start with the current pages in this order:

  1. Cartilage Core: Browser Fabric, RTL, and a 252-Bit Install
  2. Cartilage Core public source repository
  3. Cartilage 2026: Child-Owned Reconfiguration Ports
  4. Cartilage Visual Language
  5. Cartilage Nested-Instantiation Demo
  6. Cellular Automata Experiments, 2019-2021

Those pages establish the current implementation boundary, then explain the visual lineage, the role alphabet, the nested-instantiation model, and the older cellular automata roots.

Run And Sketch Pages

These seven pages are useful when you need run material, source artifacts, rendered frames, placement sketches, or the small mux debug fixture.

How To Read Them

Cartilage Core is the current compact implementation and hardware reference. It is not the source tree for the older QuadFlow/QFG captures listed below.

Checked runs and sketches do different work. A checked run can state frame counts, source files, visible output lanes, and expectation results. A visual sketch can explain mapping vocabulary, cell roles, and intended routing, but it should not be read as a driven circuit unless the page says so.

That distinction keeps the Cartilage material useful. The pages can show artifact paths and design vocabulary without blurring a sketch into a completed verification run.

Reading Order

Use Cartilage Core for the current mechanism, RTL, and exact installation evidence. Use the 2026 milestone, visual-language decoder, nested-instantiation demo, and cellular-automata roots page for the visual lineage. Use the run and sketch pages when you want the specific older artifact named by the link.
