the academy
Learn to run a house, write a species, and pass the suite that proves you speak Nervur — the protocol where a being is an entity with a handler, a key that can be talked to.
Three trades, each grounded in the parts of the protocol that already stand.
custody · doors · ears
A being answers only through one door — nothing else can reach it. Running a house well comes down to one choice: who is allowed to compute the being’s signature. Learn to pick a being’s trust boundary, host it honestly, and answer the one question every door asks: who is this being to me.
Learn more →schema · resolvers · services
A species is the definition of one kind of being: a schema that lists every question it can be asked and exactly what it promises back, plus the resolvers — the code — that work out each answer. Write the schema and its resolvers once, in any language you choose, and the same species is readable by a person and usable by an AI tool without extra work. Learn to write the schema, the resolvers behind it, and the services that carry them out.
Learn more →envelope · grammar · refusals
The suite reads an implementation against the papers alone and rules on one question: does it speak Nervur. Learn what it checks — the envelope, the grammar, the refusals — and how a green run says you speak Nervur, in any language, on a house you chose yourself.
Learn more →the doctrine
What’s left, once the hostage is gone, is work worth paying for: running a house well, writing a species with craft, teaching the next operator the trade.
Read the doctrine →The suite referees implementations — it reads a codebase against the papers alone and rules on whether it speaks Nervur.
The academy certifies people — it says a person learned to run a house, write a species, and hold the trade honestly.
