JigsawFlow: Microkernel Architecture with Emergent Composition

I'm designing "JigsawFlow", an architecture that applies Unix microkernel principles to application design, creating a "userspace microkernel" for enterprise software.

The original inspiration comes from PLC systems—their modularity and ability to define complex solutions through unit composition.

The core innovation is "Capability-Based Dependency Injection" with specialised modules and inter-module communication. From JigsawFlow's perspective, everything is a capability. To achieve emergent composition, modules communicate without knowing about each other's existence. Each module's responsibility is to share state through contracts that other modules can react to.

This is still a work-in-progress concept, but I believe it has the potential to be a game-changer in how we build software.

The finished proposal will contain examples in various languages, present hot-swappability features, and describe recommended patterns to achieve all architectural promises.

You can get deeper insight into where the main innovation comes from—the combination of proven patterns—by visiting the repository: https://github.com/dominikj111/JigsawFlow

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to contribute to the project.

I appreciate any feedback, both positive and constructive.

Thank you
