So in essence, the administration of root data context:custody has been usurped. In an act of general illiteracy, civil systems corrupted the data structure of personal authority, and the recursive nature of legal participation in market transactions founded upon this data structure simply repeats the mis-applied outcome until.... This data structure of authority "issue" as a function of applied literacy within he Sovereign jurisdiction you call home can be demonstrated in physical reality... an agent of the data structure of civil authority comes to your door and asks for responses to requests. How do you respond? Compliance-first practitioners yield to the request, perhaps on the spot for "convenience" sake, taking hearsay as meaningful by utterance. The literate practitioner pauses the request with a counter-request in pursuit of accurate, timely, and official certifiable requests for data, forcing conformity on the administrative process. The order of operations defines the structure of authority, and allocates accurate meaning to Sovereign participation, given citizen authority and employee authority are not equal, and have structural dependencies. For the functionally literate practitioner of Sovereign authority, the data structure defines operational integrity or lack there of at the point of participation. A choice, mind you. Of course, as far as tcp/ip is concerned... 1976 called and wants its integrity back: https://www.moxytongue.com/2024/07/root-administrator-owner.html Errors of omission, errors of administrative order, errors... all fixable.

Our vendors subscribe to our email or to our mobile number and nothing more because it’s all they need to build our dossier. It’s interesting that some of the new state privacy laws are starting to regulate data that a vendor collects from external sources differently from data that they collect from us directly. If it takes off, then the data brokerage business is toast. But I’m not holding my breath. The essential “subscribe to me” function is to subscribe to my agent as a personal authorization server, rather than as a personal data store. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that it gives me the option of whether to move data into my personal data store or leave the data at the originating issuer if they agree to respect my authorization server.

Good stuff, Iain. I like the whole case you are making. This especially sticks out: Ironically, and painfully, individuals have many more operational processes to run than organisations do. Organisations will typically have 20-30 high level processes that relate to customer management activity as define by their sector of operation. Individuals have to deal with hundreds of processes because the individual is the point of integration for all parts of life; that is to say they deal with all the relevant sectors in their lives. If the smartphone had been invented before or at the same time as the commercial Internet then the most logical architecture by far, for all parties, would be to have the individual as the manager of core personal information, with anyone who needed it subscribing to the individual. The ‘subscribe to me’ tools required in that model would be vastly simpler than the current architectural mess in which individuals have to manage organisation relationships and the associated terms on a one at a time basis. My own operational processes are scattered across many apps with many files, most of which are silo'd inside corporate services to which I have limited access and control. While some may have open APIs, or downloadable data files, they are also not integrated. And, as you say, that integration can only happen at the personal level. FWIW, here are some photos of the "red dot" session we had at IIW, way back in 2007: 2007_05_15 "my red dot" VRM session at IIW IVhttps://flickr.com/photos/docsearls/albums/72157719768456882/with/511346241 flickr.comhttps://flickr.com/photos/docsearls/albums/72157719768456882/with/511346241 Doc On Jul 10, 2024, at 9:39 AM, Iain Henderson mailto:iainhenderson@mac.com> wrote: Those of you involved in Project VRM since way back in the early days will remember ‘the red dot’, aka the necessary point of integration and control for a person. I’ve dug it out again as part of this post that updates my own thinking on what’s in ‘the personal stack’ in 2024 now that AI is eating the world. We still need, and don’t yet have that private digital space and point of control. As I see it, and say in the post, we need this story to be much simplified for mass audiences; but then again I don’t see a way to remove any of those component parts. Life is not simple, and digital life is especially complex in both ‘as is’ and ’needs to be’ modes. All simplifying suggestions welcome. <618dd1ba-8cdc-4966-b299-f65775b14b53_1316x704.png> The Personal Stack, 2024 'AI Powered' Versionhttps://hendersoni.substack.com/p/the-personal-stack-2024-ai-powered hendersoni.substack.comhttps://hendersoni.substack.com/p/the-personal-stack-2024-ai-powered Cheers Iain -- Devon Loffreto Founder/ Developer/ Mentor kidOYOhttp://www.kidoyo.com/ OYOclass.comhttps://www.oyoclass.com _____ Important: This electronic mail message and any attached files contain information intended for the exclusive use of the party or parties to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
