A Unified, Three-Layer Stack

parcRanger

The Cognitive Engine.

**parcRanger** is the core intelligence—the brain under the hood. It interprets your request beyond the literal text, focusing on your underlying *intent* (e.g., `plan`, `teach`, `design`).

  • Intent Execution: Translates natural language goals into actionable tasks, running complex computation with meaning-based error correction.
  • Measures Understanding: Uses a unique cognitive state vector (CMFK) to determine if a user is confident, correct, confused, or holding a misconception, enabling highly adaptive responses.

parcStation

The Operating System.

**parcStation** is the clean, visual operating system—your control center. It's the first OS built around *meaning*, using floating cards and a sleek interface to surface knowledge, not just files.

  • BILL Shell: A natural-language command line that allows users to issue complex cognitive tasks in plain English (e.g., `bill teach "photosynthesis"`).
  • Semantic Organization: Information is organized by concept and context, freeing you from rigid, traditional file hierarchies.

parcStand

The Application Suite.

**parcStand** is the collection of purpose-built applications that run on parcStation, powered by parcRanger. They translate raw intelligence into useful, human-centered workflows.

  • Planner: Goal orchestration and intent-based schedule generation.
  • Studio: Creative partner for content and branding generation.
  • Learn: Adaptive tutor with personalized, CMFK-graded explanations.
  • Notes: Semantic note-taking, auto-summarization, and research organization.

The PARC Stack: Thinking *With* You

The entire ecosystem is vertically integrated, ensuring the intelligence from the engine flows seamlessly up through the controls to power every feature.
