- People exploring optical circuit and chip design

- The page explicitly says the circuit model does not validate fabrication rules or solve interlayer coupling.
Field notes
The workspace keeps program editing, circuit design, execution results, and a generated logical-flow graph in separate views. It labels chip layers optional and says they can be defined as material layers, while cautioning that the current model does not validate fabrication rules or account for interlayer coupling. The page also says hardware-mesh mapping is not yet integrated.
