<h1 id="the-sbir-binary-format"><a class="header" href="#the-sbir-binary-format">The SBIR Binary Format</a></h1>
|
||
<p>SBIR (Storybook Intermediate Representation) is the compiled binary format produced by the Storybook compiler. It transforms human-readable <code>.sb</code> files into an optimized, machine-consumable format for simulation runtimes.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="compilation-pipeline"><a class="header" href="#compilation-pipeline">Compilation Pipeline</a></h2>
|
||
<pre><code>.sb files → Lexer → Parser → AST → Resolver → SBIR Binary
|
||
</code></pre>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li><strong>Lexer</strong>: Tokenizes raw text into tokens</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Parser</strong>: Builds an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) from tokens</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Resolver</strong>: Validates, resolves cross-references, merges templates, and produces SBIR</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<h2 id="what-sbir-contains"><a class="header" href="#what-sbir-contains">What SBIR Contains</a></h2>
|
||
<p>SBIR represents the fully resolved state of a Storybook project:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Characters</strong>: All fields resolved (species + templates merged, overrides applied)</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Behaviors</strong>: Behavior trees with all subtree references inlined</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Life Arcs</strong>: State machines with validated transitions</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Schedules</strong>: Time blocks with resolved action references</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Relationships</strong>: Participants with resolved entity references</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Institutions</strong>: Fully resolved field sets</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Locations</strong>: Fully resolved field sets</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Species</strong>: Fully resolved inheritance chains</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Enums</strong>: Complete variant lists</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2 id="resolution-process"><a class="header" href="#resolution-process">Resolution Process</a></h2>
|
||
<h3 id="template-merging"><a class="header" href="#template-merging">Template Merging</a></h3>
|
||
<p>When a character uses templates, SBIR contains the fully merged result:</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Source:</strong></p>
|
||
<pre><code class="language-storybook">species Human { lifespan: 70, speed: 1.0 }
|
||
template Warrior { speed: 1.5, strength: 10 }
|
||
|
||
character Conan: Human from Warrior {
|
||
strength: 20
|
||
}
|
||
</code></pre>
|
||
<p><strong>In SBIR, Conan’s fields are:</strong></p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><code>lifespan: 70</code> (from Human)</li>
|
||
<li><code>speed: 1.5</code> (Warrior overrides Human)</li>
|
||
<li><code>strength: 20</code> (Conan overrides Warrior)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="cross-file-reference-resolution"><a class="header" href="#cross-file-reference-resolution">Cross-File Reference Resolution</a></h3>
|
||
<p>SBIR resolves all <code>use</code> statements and qualified paths. A relationship referencing <code>Martha</code> in a different file is resolved to the concrete character definition.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="validation"><a class="header" href="#validation">Validation</a></h3>
|
||
<p>Before producing SBIR, the resolver validates all constraints documented in <a href="../reference/19-validation.html">Validation Rules</a>:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>All references resolve to defined declarations</li>
|
||
<li>No circular dependencies</li>
|
||
<li>Type consistency</li>
|
||
<li>Domain constraints (bond ranges, schedule validity)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2 id="design-goals"><a class="header" href="#design-goals">Design Goals</a></h2>
|
||
<p><strong>Compact</strong>: SBIR strips comments, whitespace, and redundant structure.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Self-contained</strong>: No external references – everything is resolved and inlined.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Fast to load</strong>: Simulation runtimes can load SBIR without re-parsing or re-resolving.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Validated</strong>: If SBIR was produced, the source was valid. Runtimes do not need to re-validate.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="usage"><a class="header" href="#usage">Usage</a></h2>
|
||
<p>SBIR is consumed by simulation runtimes that drive character behavior, schedule execution, life arc transitions, and relationship queries. The specific binary format is implementation-defined and may evolve between versions.</p>
|
||
<p>For the current SBIR specification, see the <a href="../SBIR-v0.2.0-SPEC.html">SBIR v0.2.0 Spec</a>.</p>
