Scale ISelf
A private library that thinks.
Notes, manuscripts, reading, the record of your attention. Indexed as a graph, not a folder. Local by default. Yours by construction.
Federated IS (Intelligent ·Self ·Selves ·Systems)
Intelligence is a graph.
Sovereignty is who holds it.
One graph. Every scale. Oxford holds the shape of what you know and lets it meet the shapes held by others, without ever leaving your hands.
Scale IISelves
Minds that federate.
A team, a firm, a faculty. Each self keeps its own graph; the organisation sees only the edges it has been granted. Knowledge composes. Sovereignty does not dissolve.
Scale IIISystems
What the whole knows.
Institutions, disciplines, civilisations. Structure that no single node can see, surfaced from the lattice of many. The commons, without the enclosure.
Not a feed. Not a vault. A topology of knowing, in which the person remains the unit of account.

From one person to the institution, without changing the data structure.
The same graph that orders a single reading list orders a research programme, a company, a field. Scale is a question of which edges are visible to whom, and that question is answered by the owner of each node, not by the platform.
We do not aggregate. We federate. The difference is who holds the key.
