Nullspace machines are isolated microVM runtime environments with a small set of explicit lifecycle primitives: Create starts a machine, Exec runs work inside it, Hibernate pauses state for resume, reusable snapshots capture durable 1-to-many baselines, Fork branches live state into a child machine, and Destroy tears a machine down. Fork is the differentiator for live branching. Reusable snapshots cover the durable baseline case: capture setup once, then start many independent machines later. Private beta runs on the hosted API at https://api.your-nullspace-domain. The default guest kernel follows the Firecracker kernel lane recorded by the runtime artifacts; the opt-in FUSE lane is documented in Template kernel selection.
