One inference engine for every closed loop. We measure, model, and stabilize the mass and energy budget of a living system in real time, from a recirculating fish farm to a field of contaminated soil to a life-support core off-world.
Living systems are noisy, partly observed, and never at steady state. Terra holds a probability distribution over a system's true state, closes its mass and energy budget continuously, and forecasts where it is heading, with calibrated uncertainty. It runs on the edge, next to the loop, with no cloud required.
A live posterior over the true state of a partly-observed loop, not a wall of raw gauges.
Mass and energy tracked to zero. When the budget stops closing, that is the first sign of failure.
Sensing, inference, and control on-device. The system decides and acts even fully offline.
Every estimate ships with how far ahead, and how much to trust it.
We are a software company. The hardware is built at cost with open instrumentation partners, ships with full raw-stream access, and never locks your data. One node form factor, tuned per domain. Bring your own sensors and the engine rides on those instead.
The same engine retargets across domains. We start where a loop fails fastest and someone already pays to keep it alive, then climb.
Hold the nitrogen cycle in band and forecast tank loss hours before it happens. The beachhead market.
Close the root-zone carbon and nitrogen budget for indoor and vertical growers fighting on unit economics.
Continuous biogeochemical state for working farmland and degraded ground, not a quarterly lab report.
Live budget closure on bioreactors and treatment loops where drift means a permit breach.
Prove a living cleanup is working in the field, with the uncertainty attached. See below.
The hardest version of the problem, and the reason the engine exists. Off-world life support.
Bioremediation works when microbes and plants metabolize contaminants faster than they spread. The hard part has never been deploying the biology. It is proving, continuously and defensibly, that the system is actually drawing the contaminant down rather than stalling. Terra closes the redox and mass budget of the treatment zone and reports progress with calibrated uncertainty, turning a slow, sampling-driven guess into a live control loop.
A bioregenerative life-support system is a closed loop where atmosphere, plants, water, and microbes regenerate each other. There is no margin and no resupply. It is the most unforgiving version of the exact problem we solve on Earth every day. We harden the framework on a fish farm, in a field, and in a research habitat, then run it where the budget has to stay closed or people do not come home.
Closed and semi-closed living systems are scaling across food, water, and land, and every one of them needs the budget held closed. The tooling today is manual checks and threshold alarms. We replace it with inference.
We are raising to take the engine from validated systems to a deployable product on open kits, starting in aquaculture. If you build instrumentation, run closed systems, or invest in the infrastructure of living systems, talk to us.
