context is a data type.
a composable type system for context-native platforms.
Kantext is a composable type system where context is declared, composed, and queried as immutable layers. Inspired by CumulusCI's layered YAML structural merge concept, it evolved into a full DSL for DSLs—built to enable Busbar's vision of a portable modular declarative systems platform.
Like Eurorack analog modular synths, Kantext embraces modularity through simple, open standards. Security is core to the entire platform. Busbar will be the first Context-Native system built on top of Kantext.
The Lineage
composable from the start.
Kantext is inspired by CumulusCI's layered YAML structural merge concept, but evolved into a full composable type system. It's a sort of DSL for DSLs—built to enable Busbar's vision of a portable modular declarative systems platform.
Inspired by Eurorack Modular
Like Eurorack analog synthesizers, Busbar embraces modularity through open standards. Kantext provides the composable substrate that makes portable, declarative modules possible.
Security-First Design
Security isn't a feature—it's the foundation. Busbar will be the first Context-Native system built on Kantext, with security core to the entire platform.
The Philosophy
post-cartesian data architecture.
Since 1970, every data system has separated meaning from data. Tables, graphs, vectors, triples—they all reorganize the data side. They never challenge the separation itself.
Kantext fuses meaning into structure at declaration time. The hierarchy is the meaning. The composition is the logic. The hash is the identity.
This isn't a faster database. It's a different foundation—one where context is native, not reconstructed. One where AI agents get meaning delivered with the data, not bolted on after.

Private beta. Limited slots. Built for teams who understand that context isn't metadata—it's the substrate everything else is built from.
