PV-PP FRAMEWORK GETTING STARTED V2.1 PRODUCTIVE VALUE–PRODUCTIVE POWER (PV-PP)
Abstract
About This Book This is the shortest way into the Productive Value–Productive Power (PV-PP) runtime. It explains what the PV-PP framework is and what the runtime does, recommends building with an AI assistant, shows how to install and verify the runtime, and then builds one small application, a battery-powered sensor, in five runnable steps. It is the first of three volumes. The PV-PP Framework & Programming Guide teaches the framework and application design at length, and the PV-PP Framework & Runtime Programming Reference states exactly what the runtime provides. Read this book first. You do not need the other two to finish it. Which runtime. Everything here describes PV-PP Runtime V2.1, frozen build v0.141, in the folder runtime-v2.1 of the repository. Section 3.2 shows how to prove that the copy you have is that build. The book stands alone. Everything you need to read is printed here: the tutorial programs and their output in Chapter 5, and the rules and prompts for AI assistants in Chapter 7. Every listing in Chapter 5 is reproduced verbatim from files that run against the unmodified, hash-verified runtime; every output shown is what those files print, and the six tests in Section 5.7 pass. Companion files. So that you do not have to retype anything, the repository’s getting-started folder holds exact copies of that material: the six tutorial files in getting-started/battery, to run, and Listings 7.1 to 7.4 in getting-started/ai-rules-and-prompts.txt, to paste into an assistant. Neither contains anything the book does not. Citations. A citation such as Guide 1.9 or Reference 3.1 names a section of one of the other two volumes, which the opening of Chapter 1 introduces.
