The Myceloom Protocol (MCP-1) | Standard for Living Infrastructure

01. The Manifesto

The digital world has fractured into two failing architectures: The Silo (Extractive) and The Scatter (Starving).

The Myceloom is a third architecture. It synthesizes the sovereignty of the independent node with the resilience of the distributed network. Like the mycelial networks beneath a forest floor, it is invisible infrastructure where the intelligence of the network exceeds the sum of its parts.

The Three Axioms

Axiom I: Sovereignty First. No node shall be built on rented land. A tenant can never be a true peer.
Axiom II: Reciprocal Nourishment. A link is not a transaction; it is a root system. Value must flow bidirectionally.
Axiom III: Emergent Intelligence. Intelligence is not a property of the center; it is a property of the edge.

02. The Specification

The functional requirements mapped to the Myceloom Domain Architecture.

Layer I: The Substrate (Infrastructure)

1. The Network Layer (.net)

Principle: Radical Redundancy. Intelligence and routing must reside at the edges. No single node failure may compromise the whole.

2. The Intelligence Layer (.ai)

Principle: Distributed Cognition. AI agents must operate as symbiotic partners, not extraction engines. Compute occurs locally (Edge AI).

3. The Interface Layer (.io)

Principle: The Spore. Interfaces must be adaptive. Strict separation of Immutable Protocols (Warp) from Adaptive Interfaces (Weft).

Layer II: The Society (Governance)

4. The Community Layer (.org)

Principle: The Immune System. Permissionless innovation. No central authority grants the right to build.

5. The Coalition Layer (.co)

Principle: The Guild. Economic units structured as federations of independent creators. Sustainable, regenerative exchange.

Layer III: The Human (Time & Identity)

6. The Identity Layer (.im)

Principle: "I Am". Identity rooted in owned infrastructure. Relational autonomy defined by connections maintained.

7. The Temporal Layer (Heirloom)

Principle: Abyssal Time. Legibility as Legacy. All systems must document a path for succession and use human-readable formats.

Layer IV: The Dimension (Depth)

8. The Dimensional Layer (My-Sea-Loom)

Principle: Bioluminescence. Systems must generate their own light (verification) in disconnected states. Design for tidal rhythms, not flatlines.

03. Compliance & Invitation

The Myceloom is not a product to be bought. It is a topology to be inhabited.

A project is considered Myceloom Compliant if it owns its ground, publishes via open standards, links reciprocally to peers, and documents its succession plan.
