Hermes 303e8c6306 Convert cross-references from [[id:uuid]] to [[file:name.org]]
All 117 inter-node links now use [[file:node-name.org][title]] format
which renders as clickable hyperlinks in both Emacs (C-c C-o) and
web-based org renderers (Gitea, GitHub). Each node retains its :ID:
UUID property for Emacs org-roam database features (backlinks,
capturing, node-find).

Prev format: [[id:uuid][title]] — Emacs only, dead text on web
New format:  [[file:name.org][title]] — works everywhere

Passepartout Triad — Knowledge Base

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

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.

Key analytical frames:

Revenue paths (short to long term):

Strategy and IP:

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.
