MIND Breaking: Two GCLs Collide After 29 Years — Napkin-to-Factory Becomes Reality Overnight
MIND Breaking: Two GCLs Collide After 29 Years — Napkin-to-Factory Becomes Reality Overnight 13 November 2025 In an event that reads like scientific déjà-vu, two independently developed languages both named GCL (Geometric Configuration Language) have just merged in production for the first time — and the result is already shipping physical objects around the world. The 1996 original Prof. Predrag Janičić (University of Belgrade) and Prof. Pedro Quaresma (University of Coimbra) released GCLC/GCL in 1996 — the world’s first declarative, automatically provable geometric description language. For three decades it has powered geometry education, theorem proving, and thousands of academic papers. The 2025 reinvention In October 2025, Jordan Morgan-Griffiths (independent researcher) publicly released his own GCL — built from scratch for reproducible experimental physics. Designed for quantum hardware layouts, DAQ sensor rigs, and defensible science, his version adds hashing, refusal gates, p...
