1 · At rest

Your data already exists. It sits where it landed, in the shape it was stored, down to the bits. Nothing has to move.

2 · Asked

When someone needs to know something, the meaning is drawn from the data where it sits. Not copied out. Read in place.

3 · The gate face

That meaning is set on a gate. The gate forms a face around the question and gathers only the pieces of data that question needs.

4 · Any shape

A gate can take any shape — one step or a hundred, any workflow. It keeps forming until it's right.

5 · Confirmed

It's confirmed when a person says so. Not before, and not by the machine.

6 · Measured, and told

Then it’s measured, and everyone connected on the wire is told what changed. The difference, nothing more.

7 · Available

This page is for anyone. Behind it, each person has a Compass and a node. You make things available, and you decide who sees what. Nothing crosses unless you send it.
