Technical

What are the runtime requirements?
R-Think requires Node.js 18.0 or higher. It works in Node.js and browser environments. The core runtime has zero external dependencies.
Can I use R-Think with my existing codebase?
Yes. R-Think is designed to integrate with existing systems. You can define protocols around existing functions and services without rewriting your core logic.
How does R-Think compare to workflow engines?
Unlike traditional workflow engines, R-Think focuses on reasoning and validation, not just orchestration. Every execution produces a reasoning trace that can be audited.
Does R-Think support distributed systems?
The core runtime is single-process. For distributed scenarios, use the artifact store to persist reasoning state and coordinate across services.
