Crate ternlang_compat 

ternlang-compat — Compatibility bridges for the ternary computing ecosystem

This crate is the convergence point for existing ternary computing projects, making ternlang the common runtime they all target.

Bridges implemented

• tasm — 9-trit RISC assembly → BET bytecode assembler Translates the Brandon Smith / ternary-computing.com .tasm assembly dialect (9-trit words, RISC-like mnemonics) into BET VM bytecode.

• owlet — S-expression ternary front-end Parses Owlet-style S-expressions into ternlang AST nodes for evaluation on the BET VM.

9-trit word model

The .tasm ecosystem uses 9-trit words (range −9841 to +9841 = 3⁹). Each trit is one of {−1, 0, +1}. Literals use ‘T’ for −1 (e.g. 10T = 8).

BET mapping:

• Registers r0–r8 → BET registers 0–8
• LOAD/STORE → TLOAD (0x07) / TSTORE (0x08)
• ADD → TADD (0x02)
• NEG → TNEG (0x04)
• MUL → TMUL (0x03)
• JMP → TJMP (0x0b)
• BEQ (branch if zero) → TJMP_ZERO (0x06)
• BLT (branch if neg) → TJMP_NEG (0x07)
• HALT → THALT (0x00)
• NOP → no-op (emit nothing)
