Connect is an off-grid, peer-to-peer emergency messenger engineered for decentralized communication over local Wi-Fi networks using raw UDP sockets. Lacking central servers, its hand-written routing logic mimics chemical "chain reactions," instantly multiplying and propagating data packets across nearby device nodes. To maintain architectural purity, the entire core network engine, and wire protocol validation were written completely by hand. Artificial intelligence was utilized strictly as an execution engine to render the minimalist, dark-monochrome Kivy graphical user interface
