designing constellation for information creation/curation/conversational collaboration harnessing decen(tralized) protocols
decentralization shifts the parading from centralized silos to a decent/distributed modes, at the edges, where we, the people operate,
with increase in autonomy.
But what is needed is to flip the centralized paradigm and put people at the center.
Interpersonal trust networks build for trust from trust,
Empowering individuals and communities to create their own
- autonomous digital spaces of their own
that are born interoperable with anything in that
- space of permanent hypermedia
- HyperDocuments,
that are
- local first,
- offline first for all participants
yet supports interpersonal collaboration in all collaborative modalities,
- real-(time,
- eventually consistent async messaging,
- continuous without being synchronous,
while maintaining
- full contiguity of their own personal/community work and digital engagements
independent of the tools they use for that purpose.
As the IndyVerse/Web/Net/Lab/Learning Commons is piloted at the moment
it also offers deep integration with
- web annotation services like Hypothesis and Memex, but any other system can readily be bi integrated (two ways) as plug-outs ready to be integrated into individuals' own(ed) workflows
the IndyWeb also makes use of TrailMarks (generalized into HyperMarks in the IndyVerse of Intentional Morphic HyperDocuments
that itself has 'Universality' in the sense of "Universal Machines'
providing a universal way of designating info structures on the fly, as one writes,
and intended interpretation across hypermedia content decouple from the means that were used to create them
Where documents are not considered enclosures but dynamic views in a global giant emergent permanent digital spaces
in the first place. Think of TrailMarks as a plain text Symmathetic Mark-In notation that can be added to any content unobtrusively along with the machinery needed to play this intentional/semanttic/symmathetic game
That's what the indyWeb/Net/Hub/Lab pilots
It aims to complete existing systems, including centralized ones.
Centralized system offer global reach, at the risk of censorship, decentralized systems are uncensorable but very limited in reach as they represent technical and other barriers to on-boarding.
On the IndyWeb that Flips the web from server/provider centric to People-centric
IndyNet offers zero friction on-boarding and proogressiver trust networks with potential eventually global reach

for
- flipped web
- offline first
