Internal Design

Articles in this section examine the internal protocol architecture and runtime mechanisms of APX.

While the high-level APX model presents nodes and typed signal ports, communication relies on a memory-mapped synchronization layer and structured session lifecycles. These articles explain how the RemoteFile layer mirrors data and how sessions manage node definitions and live port values.

  • The RemoteFile Protocol explores memory-mapped synchronization, virtual addressing, and binary wire framing.

  • APX Session explains connection lifecycles, file ownership, and how .apx, .in, and .out files coordinate between peers.
