Vision
Five branches. Each one feeds the others. None of them work alone.
The modern moat is not a single product. It is the system beneath it — the coordination between software, compute, data, intelligence, and people.
The workspace layer
Software
Tools people inhabit directly, built to be local-first and durable. fudge is the first expression — a multi-functional platform organized around Work, Connect, and Extend.
Community infrastructure
Compute
The Lindy Network: nano data centres closer to the people who use them. Proof-of-utility, not proof-of-waste. Infrastructure that belongs to communities.
Annotation as learning
Data
Rubric: a system where the annotation process itself is a learning system. People enter as learners and become domain experts. The data improves because the people improve.
Philosophy as architecture
Intelligence
samarai: memory, belief, causation, and world modeling grounded in Spinoza's substance ontology. Not prediction — understanding.
The reason the rest exists
People
The branch that keeps human dignity and capability development at the center. Software serves people. Compute empowers people. Data belongs to people. Intelligence extends people.
Together, if the connections work, they produce something more coherent than the sum of their parts.
