Agora Requirements Major Restructuring (Early AM)

Significant architectural changes made with Amr:

Major File Restructuring

• Split unified requirements into 10 numbered files (01-overview through 10-assessment)
• All files pushed to gitea and tracked in version control

Exchange Layer Created (Section 04)

• New section: Exchange (contracts + money layer)
• Contains: Ricardian contracts, contact types, Lightning economics, multi-currency support
• Distinct from Infrastructure - this is the economic substrate

Social Space Refined (Section 05)

• Renamed from "Public Space" to "Social Space"
• Merged async public + private + sync communications
• Added: Presence (online status, activity), Sync comms (WebRTC, voice, video)
• Maintains: Profiles, Connection Types, Collaboration, Discovery

Capitalization Strategy Added (Section 10)

• Phase 1: Grant funding (0-18 months) - Filecoin, Ethereum, Lightning ecosystem
• Phase 2: Revenue bootstrapping (12-36 months) - PDS hosting, enterprise support
• Phase 3: Community sustainability (Year 3+) - marketplace fees, Validator Oracles
• Key principle: Non-dilutive funding, no VC, preserve open-source integrity

Marketing Positioning Updated

• Tagline changed to: "You trade 2 seconds for freedom" (was "sovereignty")
• Platform replacement strategy: Target niche communities first (Reddit, Medium, Etsy, Nostr)
• Not positioned as existential threat to Big Tech initially

Identity Model Refined

• Foundation Contract: Unified model for natural and artificial personas
• Maturation process: Key introduction (age 13) → Maturation (age 18)
• Persona migrates among Master Keys from founders → self-sovereign

Connection Types Defined

• Following: Asymmetric, public
• Befriending: Mutual consent, private
• Subscribing: Economic (paid), private
• Supporting: Resource contribution (money, compute, storage)

Discovery Privacy Pattern

• Recommendation: Anonymous/disposable persona for search
• Then: Subscribe with primary persona
• Benefit: Search history unlinkable from real identity

Key Technical Specifications Added

• PDS Migration protocol (Sovereign Portability)
• Attestation and Notarization system
• Persona Migration Among Master Keys
• AI Integration expanded (Personas, Sub-Agents, Algorithms, AI-to-AI)
• Multi-currency support (Lightning default + BTC + stablecoins)

Economic Model Clarified

• Free posting (not mandatory fees)
• Owner-defined marketplace fees (not zero-fee mandate)
• Micro-subscriptions via Lightning
• Creator revenue with configurable splits

Status

• All 10 requirement files updated with Amr's feedback
• Gap analysis reorganized with priorities (12 CRITICAL, 15 HIGH, 14 MEDIUM, 10 LOW)
• Awaiting next phase: addressing specific CRITICAL gaps

System Diagnostic & Identity Alignment [13:00 - 14:15]

• Issue: User reported "procrastination" and stalling.
• Root Cause: Identity conflict between "Sol" and "Amero Garcia". Agent was reverting to outdated protocols, using memory/2026-03-15.md instead of memex/1_daily/.

• Fix:

  • Updated Git config to Amero Garcia <amero.garcia@gmail.com>.
  • Merged redundant memory files into Org-mode daily logs.
  • Cleaned up root directory "ghost" files.
  • Reinforced Resilience Rituals in AGENTS.md.
