Company Structure
This is the canonical description of how APERTURESyndicate is organised. An interactive version of the same tree — click any node for its description and links — lives at aperturesyndicate.com/structure.
One legal entity sits at the top. Under it there is a single production division, ASProduction, and under that six departments. Departments own products. Nothing below the company is a separate legal entity — every name on this page is a trading name of APERTURESyndicate OÜ, not a company of its own, and every agreement a user or a creator signs is with APERTURESyndicate OÜ.

APERTURESyndicate — the company
APERTURESyndicate OÜ is a private limited company (Osaühing (private limited company)) registered in Tallinn, Harju maakond, Republic of Estonia (EU), on 1 December 2025 under registry code 17384111. Full registration details are in the Imprint.
The company owns every brand, product and department on this page, operates the platform they all sit on — one account across every product, one billing system, one documentation site, one design system — and is the counterparty in every contract. User data is hosted inside the European Union.
ASProduction — the production division
ASProduction is the single production division. It sits between the company and the departments: the company holds the legal and financial side, ASProduction holds the work.
It ships nothing under its own name and has no public site. Its output is the six departments below and the shared engineering platform they all deploy onto. This is why the Syndicate can open a whole product lane without building a company around it first — a new department starts on infrastructure that already exists.
ASCodeworks — software and platform
The engineering department. It builds the tools other people build with, and the platform underneath every Syndicate product: accounts and sign-in, permissions, billing, storage, the developer portal and the public API.
Public face: dev.aperturesyndicate.com.
SYNX
An active configuration format with types, validation, environment binding and computed
values. A plain file reads like data; one directive turns it into a live config that can
require a variable, clamp a number, pull a secret from the environment or compute a value
as it loads. Every service in the Syndicate is configured with it, and the format is
published openly — a normative specification, parsers for nine languages, editor
integrations, a package registry and a browser playground. SYNXL, its record-stream
companion, is the dataset counterpart of JSONL and CSV.

ASVentor
A toolkit of media utilities — format conversion, upscaling, background removal, OCR, PDF and image work, a collaborative map maker. Where the browser can do the job, the file never leaves the user's machine; only heavy jobs go to a server.

ASInstaller
The desktop launcher. It installs Syndicate desktop applications from a signed catalogue and keeps them current in the background. A single portable executable that updates itself.
Status: live · Windows · ASInstaller Terms
ASEtherane — artificial intelligence
The AI department. It decides which models the platform runs, how they are served, what data may be published and sold, and the terms any of it may be used under. ETHERANE is its public face: model access and the datasets marketplace. The department also owns the limits — no training on user data unless the user opts in, documented in AI Data & Training.
Public face: etherane.aperturesyndicate.com.
ASAI
The assistant: chat, image generation, collaborative boards, and long-running roleplay with characters and worlds published by other people. Several models sit behind one interface. Free to start; paid tiers raise the limits and open the heavier models.
Status: live · Web and Windows · ASAI Product Terms
ASMusic — music
The music arm: signing and distributing artists, rights and royalties, and operating Resonance. Releases on Resonance are handled end to end in-house; distribution to external stores runs through TuneCore.
Public face: asmusic.aperturesyndicate.com · ASMusic Distribution Terms.
Resonance
Streaming with word-level synced lyrics, a local library that sits beside the cloud one, an offline locker, listening together in real time, and artist pages creators control themselves. Web, Windows desktop and phones. Creators publish through the creators portal and are paid from a revenue pool with a published formula.

ASInkline — writing
The writing department. It builds the places where text gets published and read: original fiction, fan work, serialised novels, and the tooling an author needs to run a series rather than upload a file. The brief matches ASMusic's, one medium over — the audience follows the author, not the host.
Novellica
Where authors publish, chapter by chapter, with reading progress, libraries and a following that stays with the writer. Original novels and fan fiction alike.
Status: in development — nothing public yet.
ASEntertainment — film and animation
The entertainment department: film and animation produced in-house, plus the creator work the Syndicate publishes in that lane. The slowest part of the structure to ship, by nature.
Palexorcism
The Syndicate's first entertainment production — a film shot inside Minecraft, with its own world, factions and cast. Its universe already reaches into the platform: the Tsardom of God and Palegarden cosmetic sets on Resonance are drawn from it.
Status: in development.
ASGames — games
The games department, and the youngest part of the structure. No title has shipped. The first project in the works is a strategy game on a live map — provinces, terrain and a simulation shared between browser and server, so a single-player campaign and a networked match run the same rules.
Status: in development.
Partners
Partner companies are not part of this tree. They are independent businesses the Syndicate works with, and they are listed separately on the platform. Lysicon Quanture (financial analysis) is a partner, not a Syndicate department or product.
Keeping this page correct
The interactive page on the main site is rendered from a single registry file,
apps/as-site/config/structure.synx — that is where a department, product, status or link
is changed. This document is the written counterpart and is updated alongside it.
