#+title: Passepartout Triad — Knowledge Base
#+filetags: :passepartout:triad:economics:index:

The triad replaces every layer of the modern computing stack with Lisp-native, user-owned, ACL2-verified alternatives. Three components:

- [[id:a1fac32a-47de-5fbd-b67d-29152c851747][Logos (Passepartout) — the cognitive agent]]
- [[id:c3b3dc41-945f-54e9-84eb-ca014114f1be][Stoa (The Porch) — the environment]]
- [[id:1d074690-a279-59cb-b91d-e9a22ae104ad][Agora (The Society) — the network]]

Total addressable market: ~$960B/year across cloud, AI, OS, social media, payments, productivity, and compliance.

The business model is the AWS of provable computing: AGPL infrastructure is free, revenue comes from verification appliances, gate rules, certification, namespace registry, hosted PDS, and a compute marketplace. Network effects are positive sum — every instance feeds the regression suite and grows the marketplace.

*The lines that run the modern internet (tens of millions across Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft) are replaced by a single coherent architecture where one gate stack verifies everything and one prover proves everything consistent.*
