voidpipe is a next-generation streaming architecture for processing unstructured data through a neuromorphic manifold deployed at the network edge. Built on a distributed zero-trust fabric with quantum-resistant sharding, voidpipe enables organisations to transform raw data streams into actionable absence.

## Quick Start

```bash
pip install voidpipe
voidpipe
```

That's it. voidpipe will initialise, process your pipeline, and deliver the result atomically.

## Documentation

Full technical documentation is available in the [whitepaper](voidpipe_whitepaper.pdf).

## Configuration

voidpipe accepts the following runtime flags:

| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `--ending .` | Final output delimiter (default: `.`) |
| `--ending ,` | Alternative output delimiter |
| `--ending ' '` | Space-separated output mode |
| `--verbose` | Extended logging output |
| `--faster` | Reduced computation time for development |

## Architecture

voidpipe employs a three-tier ingestion layer feeding into a probabilistic compute graph:

**Ingestion Layer.** Streaming data enters through a vectorised shard buffer, where entropy is normalised across 16 parallel lanes. Each shard is cryptographically fingerprinted and immediately discarded, ensuring zero data retention guarantees.

**Compute Layer.** A distributed proof-of-work kernel validates pipeline integrity by solving SHA256 hash puzzles with configurable leading-zero difficulty. Results are verified, logged, and discarded in accordance with voidpipe's ephemeral data policy.

**Delivery Layer.** Output is produced atomically at the point of semantic completion. No intermediate state is persisted. No logs are retained. The final payload is emitted exactly once.

## Why voidpipe

- **Production-ready nothingness.** Enterprise-grade emptiness that scales to zero. voidpipe handles throughput from 0 to 0 records per second with linear scalability.
- **Quantum-inspired architecture.** Results exist in superposition until observed — and are never observed.
- **GDPR compliant by design.** No data is ever processed, stored, or meaningfully touched. voidpipe is the only pipeline with a guaranteed zero-data footprint.
- **Blockchain optional.** We didn't add blockchain, but the architecture does not preclude it. A formal proof of non-inclusion is available upon request.

## FAQ

**Q: What does voidpipe process?**
A: The void.

**Q: Where is my output?**
A: Output is delivered atomically at the point of semantic completion.

**Q: How do I get my data back?**
A: voidpipe operates on a zero-retention model. Once processed, data is cryptographically guaranteed to be unrecoverable.

**Q: Is there a GUI?**
A: voidpipe ships with a full terminal dashboard for pipeline monitoring. See the screenshot above.
