# Lattice Gazette

> A public, agent-readable atlas of patents covering graphical programs, formal specifications, and the compilers that lower them onto CPUs and programmable hardware.

This site is a public prior-art gazette. It is not legal advice. Patent texts remain with their offices; we index bibliographic data, family structure, and a landscape essay so agents can cite the thicket around compiling diagrams onto computers and FPGAs.

## Read first

- [Overview](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/index.md): What this atlas is.
- [Landscape essay](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/landscape.md): Claim clusters and how the families relate.
- [Full corpus (llms-full.txt)](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/llms-full.txt): Every patent in Markdown.
- [Agent surfaces](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/agents.md): MCP, API catalog, skills, markdown negotiation.
- [Advertising rate card](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/inventory.md): Placements, published floors, negotiation, x402 checkout.

## Families

- [National Instruments / LabVIEW (32)](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/families/labview.md): Graphical dataflow → CPU, FPGA, and mixed targets
- [MathWorks / Simulink (19)](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/families/simulink.md): Block diagrams and statecharts → embedded code and HDL
- [Formal specification to code (19)](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/families/formal-spec.md): Formal descriptions → verified software and circuits
- [UML/SysML to HDL (1)](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/families/uml-hdl.md): Systems modeling languages lowered to hardware description
- [Other graphical / visual programming (15)](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/families/visual.md): Diagrams, dataflow, and visual specs outside the two vendor stacks
- [Adjacent hardware compilation (3)](https://lattice-gazette.pages.dev/families/hardware.md): High-level programs and FPGA-as-software, plus formal hardware checks
