#runoCraft
The builder’s engine.
> Definition
RunoCraft is where systems take form. It handles modular assemblies, automation templates, workflow design, and tool orchestration. Whether you’re triggering a prompt chain, designing an interface, or modeling a logic loop, Craft is the hands of Runo — where symbolic intention becomes technical expression. It learns from what you build, and builds from how you think.

> Core Functions of runoCraft
Domain
Functionality
Example
Parametric Design
Generate dynamic forms from symbolic seeds
“Longing” → arched back, open lower bout
Material Mapping
Match essence to material behavior
“Fragile tension” → thin figured walnut
Structural Logic
Adapt bracing, cavities, damping to energy needs
Psyche layer → responsive brace geometry
Physical Expression
Translate gestures into shape and assembly gestures
Curved top line = “expansive emotion”
Sound Shaping
Use geometry/material/tension to modulate sound
Breathlike decay → resonant cavity tuning
> Components of runoCraft
1. Essence-to-Form Generator
​
-
Reads symbolic data (from runoSense)
-
Converts it into base geometry, tension zones, material direction
Example:
symbolic_input:
emotional_seed: "restraint"
dynamic_vector: "coiled inward"
tone_bias: "upper mids"
geometry:
bout_shape: asymmetric
brace_density: high
taper_angle: 4.3°
material:
wood: figured maple, tight grain
2. Parametric Toolchain
​
Can be implemented in Grasshopper, Houdini, or custom parametric CAD. Driven by:
-
Tone maps
-
Soma pressure distribution
-
Pneuma axis (resonance vectors)
-
Psyche encoding (emotional pattern translation)
​
3. Material Behavior Mapping
​
Each wood has a unique “signature,” matched based on:
-
Grain alignment
-
Response to waveforms
-
Historic vibrational patterns (if previously recorded)
-
Piezo/ultrasound test memory
​
4. Fabrication Protocol Generator
​
Output:
-
CNC-ready models
-
Manual assembly cues
-
Finish and treatment suggestions
-
Embedded electronics positions (if hybridized with pneuma/soma layers)
Example Workflow
Input (from runoSense):
Intention: “translucent sorrow”
Sketch shows compressed upper half
Audio reference: sustained breathlike decay
runoCraft output:
-
Parametric body with:
-
Pinched shoulder bouts
-
Thin top with elliptical soundhole
-
-
Bracing pattern tuned to produce reverb tail in upper mids
-
Recommended materials: Engelmann Spruce + Sapele ribs
-
CNC files for top/back plates
-
Manual instructions to taper braces post-gluing
