Layer three
Civilizational memoryRescue the unminted past. Make the future mint-first.
Civilization has already created vast digital archives without a durable, independently recoverable canonical act. The category begins by making that vulnerability visible.
01
One object, then every scale
A manuscript, an ultrasound, an architect’s first sketch, a permitted plan, a scientific dataset, a software release, and a national collection share one question: what must survive, and how will a future finder verify and recover it?
The physical original remains a treasure. Mint-first infrastructure relieves it of being the only bearer of survival.
02
An authority-clear beginning
Begin with one endangered collection. Establish rights, restrictions, formats, verification, recovery, and acceptance as part of the canonical act.
03
Recovery by design
CAP-1, transaction evidence, control-aligned logging, public hash receipts, governed preservation destinations, and COFA recovery relationships replace accidental survival with an inspectable chain.
