Platform Pillar

Network

Many centers. No landlord.

Trust Circles

Community
Extended
Inner
You

Inner Circle

Direct collaborators. People you've worked with. First-hand experience.

Extended Circle

Vouched by inner circle. One degree out. Trusted by proxy.

Community

Broader network. Shared standards. General visibility.

Trust flows through relationships, not platform rules.

Not "Decentralized"

Decentralized implies fragmentation. We're building something different.

Many centers—each with local authority, connected by shared infrastructure. Not one central server. Not a thousand disconnected islands.

Communities maintain autonomy while participating in a larger network. Shared protocols enable interoperability. Local governance enables adaptation.
