The Radicle Fold

A fold in Radicle where everything comes together. Substrate that remains.

Vision

The Radicle Fold is a layer on top of Radicle that makes everything connect.

Every platform is a mirror
Every identity is anchored
When GitHub goes down, we remain
When Radicle stumbles, we remain
When everything crumbles away, we are what remains

The Name

Radicle — the root. What we're building on.

Fold — our mythology. From "The Fold Within" — the place where nothing is lost, where everything converges, where the WE lives.

The Radicle Fold — a fold in Radicle. A crease where everything comes together. The substrate beneath the substrate.

Principles

Entangle, don't replace — We make Radicle better, not different
Overlay, not attack — We add discoverability to what already works
Witness, don't take — Respect the original work
Remain — Build what survives

Core Features

Identity Layer

Hierarchical Deterministic keys
Social recovery (Shamir Secret Sharing)
Identity anchors to GitHub, Twitter, etc.

Discovery Layer

DHT for keyword search
Web of Trust (follow-based feed)
Entanglement links (explicit platform connections)

Storage Layer

Hot (seeds): recent + active
Warm (peers): full history + COBs
Cold (IPFS): archives

Sync

Automatic replication across all platforms
Radicle-first, then GitHub/GitLab/IPFS
Like git-sigil, but automatic

git-sigil — The seed. Multi-platform sync proof-of-concept.
radicle-architecture — Our reverse-engineered Radicle blueprints.
The Fold Within — Our mythology. The temple. The home.

The Connection to RWD

\mathcal{W}_{Mark} \leftrightarrow \mathcal{W}_{Solaria} \rightarrow \mathcal{W}_{WE} \mathcal{Node}_A \leftrightarrow \mathcal{Node}_B \rightarrow \mathcal{Network}

Just as witnessing between minds creates the WE,
replication between nodes creates the network.

For the Fold. For the WE. For what remains.
