The Digital DNA bundle, for people and for agents
One Markdown file per concept, each with YAML frontmatter (type, title, description, resource, tags, generation provenance and sources). Agents start at index.md or /llms.txt; people can read the same files. Trust tier: generated by an agent from the owner's brief, not yet human-verified — see what exists today.
The bundle itself — index.md, every concept file and llms.txt — is published in English only.
- The end of the agency conflict — Today: you → platform → algorithm → outcome, with the algorithm also serving ads, engagement, retention and third parties. Digital DNA: you → your agent → outcome.
- The Agent of One — A private digital intelligence representing an audience of exactly one person, working for that person rather than for the interface provider.
- The network effect that belongs to you — More participants → more data under individual control → more connections, applications, verification and reusable knowledge → greater utility for participants; the effect accrues to the network's participants, not its owner.
- Architecture first, not blockchain — The fundamental requirements are individual control, portability, permissions, interoperability, local processing, provenance, verification, identity and open protocols; blockchain is not the innovation and a DID is optional later.
- CRUD for everyone — Information becomes creatable, readable, updatable and deprecable by anyone — and linkable, challengeable, validatable, falsifiable, correctable, forkable, combinable and reusable: the scientific method applied to the Internet.
- From financial capital to data capital (and the AI multiplier) — Data becomes productive capital because AI converts it into intelligence, predictions, decisions and actions; if individuals control it, the economics of AI develop differently.
- Data · Nexus · Amplifier (DNA) — The conceptual backbone: individual-controlled data, dynamic connection, and the anti-rival amplification of reused information.
- Digital DNA — The redesign in which individuals, not platforms, own and control their data, identity, preferences, rules and digital agency.
- Applications become functionality — A person needs a result, not an app: the personal environment invokes whatever functionality is required without another account, app, silo, profile or database.
- Local-first and one source of truth — Data stays local or under the individual's exclusive control; computation comes to the data. One person, one source of truth, unlimited authorized uses.
- The material-world consequence — First make the digital world individually sovereign; then physical institutions increasingly have to respond to individually sovereign digital actors.
- Information Engine B.V. (TrooIDs) — The legal entity behind trooids.com: Information Engine B.V., Amsterdam, KvK 88640442, RSIN 864716497.
- Platform jailbreak — Why should digital functionality have to live inside somebody else's gate? Make functionality portable, discoverable, callable and verifiable independently of its original host platform.
- The pull economy, the end of the platform tax, receiver sovereignty — From supply → advertising → targeting → persuasion → consumer to individual intention → agent → market query → competing supply → matching → individual; permissionless sending, consensual receiving.
- What exists today and what happens next — Honest state: this site, this knowledge bundle and a contact facility exist; no consumer product yet; a potential organisational pilot is a proposed next step.
- Verify, don't trust (Maximum · General · Verifiable) — Replace trust with verification: expose what information was used, which permissions existed, which objective was optimized, which agent acted, what happened, who was contacted, why, under which rule, and the result.
