Concept

Database and runtime.

Bitfield stores durable truth and runs the pieces that use it.

Database

The database side stores records and content so the product can remember what happened. A durable truth means the product can recover, replay, sync, project into other systems, and keep working when plans change.

Runtime

The runtime side loads runnable pieces. A runnable piece can be a feature, worker, adapter, renderer, or tool-shaped capability. The public docs call these pieces slots.

Why they belong together

If storage and runtime are separate worlds, every feature has to learn how to talk to every other feature and every database choice. That is how products become brittle.With Bitfield, features talk through the shared place. That means the data path and the execution path can stay coordinated without every feature depending directly on the others.
The customer-facing rule is simple: your app talks to Runtime Kit, Runtime Kit talks to Bitfield, and Bitfield keeps the durable shape underneath.
Next: read Storage shape for how durable local data connects to the speed proof.
