Paralia is primarily a proprietary platform today. There’s one open-source piece: parable.
Why parable is open source
parable embeds a real port of OpenLimbTT, a statistical shape model released under CC BY-SA 4.0 — a share-alike license. Rather than build around that license or keep the OpenLimbTT-derived piece separate, the whole tool was open-sourced. That decision has a real upside beyond compliance: parable is genuinely useful on its own, independent of the platform, to any researcher who wants to generate and evaluate large synthetic datasets of transtibial limb data.
paralia_sdk
paralia_sdk is public too — it’s the typed client parable uses to talk to the platform, and it has to be installable without authentication for parable to work as a standalone open-source tool. It’s supporting infrastructure for that purpose, not a product currently aimed at outside integrators, though that may change later.
Wondering why paralia_sdk is public if it’s not meant for outside integrators yet — see paralia_sdk for the full reasoning. Short version: it has to be installable without authentication for parable to work as a standalone tool.
Everything else
The platform itself — the algorithm, its APIs, and the engineering behind the deviation-field pipeline described in The platform — is closed-source. parable and paralia_sdk never contain platform internals, by design: parable only ever calls the platform over a network API, never by importing its code, so open-sourcing parable never required exposing anything about how the platform actually works.
