Share the picture. Never the spill.

Sharing is sender-authored at egress. A node decides, per peer, exactly what shape of its picture to expose. "You may see my vessels, but you may not target them" is enforced on every action, with a cross-organization audit trail.

01

The sender decides, per edge

Each edge's policy decides what crosses, fail-closed per record, with a per-edge discipline filter withholding anything the edge did not agree to carry.

02

Markings bind

A track's classification and releasability land as sent and bind onward. An operator raises a marking freely and lowers it only with authority, never below the source.

03

Geometry crosses

Areas, lines, danger zones, and routes cross exactly or as a mention. A received no-fire area refuses the receiver's engage act.

That is the spillage-forensics substrate.

The egress membrane

Shape, sign, chain, send.

Anatomy of a sovereign node

Link up, it exchanges signed bundles.

From the federation guide
TRUSTED PHYSICAL TIME Roughtime-anchored, self-correcting, bounded radius HYBRID LOGICAL CLOCK monotonic causal order across nodes — survives partition EVERY STAMP (physical, logical, node) SKEW GUARD ±5 s ceiling on receive a peer clock too far from trusted-now is refused BEFORE any merge — clock-bleed cannot poison local ordering

Two clocks

Deterministic ordering under partition needs an anchored physical clock and a hybrid logical clock.

Capabilities · from the register and the guide
  1. 01

    Nothing leaves raw

    Every outbound picture is shaped per peer, signed by the node's own key, chained into a release manifest, and queued per edge.

  2. 02

    Acting while the commander is dark

    A subordinate's acts taken while its commander's node is down are delivered with their instant on reconnect; an abort taken in the dark binds nothing.

  3. 03

    Catch-up without replay

    A peer eight days dark drains its backlog and rejoins with no hand-run database work.

  4. 04

    Quarantine

    A verified signature proves who sent a track, not that it makes sense. Implausible data is stored, never trusted onward.

  5. 05

    Per-edge exposure subsets

    A tenant pins any federation edge to a subset of its own geography.

  6. 06

    Peer formation handshake

    Two people form a federation edge in the product, with no ceremony script.

  7. 07

    TAK as a peer

    A TAK server is added from the console; included missions appear as read-only TAK missions in the edge's group.

Next: the grade.
