A fugue is a work of music with many voices based on a single melody, repeated in various ways.   From simplicity comes richness and complexity.

In the world of computers, too often the software that we write is incomprehensible.   There is no simple, unifying theme.   A few members of a priesthood understand their particular bit of code, and no-one else can work on it without first ascending themselves to this priesthood.

The goal of Fugue is to produce a complete software platform with a common underlying theme and structure.   A person studying one aspect of the structure will discover themes which are present throughout the structure.   Becoming literate in one area of this collection of software will naturally create a sense of familiarity with other areas.

The ultimate goal of this project is to produce something that will enrich humankind, respecting both the needs of those who wish to tinker and those who just want it to work.   The goal is not so much to innovate as to glean and to perfect.   We stand on the shoulders of giants.   Instead of always looking for things that they did not discover, let us learn from what they discovered and bring it to its full potential.

This is an ambitious task, just begun.   Stay tuned for more.
