DOSSIER #01
Identity & Credentials
A document with no off switch
Every credential has someone who can switch it off: a state, a company, a registrar, a platform. The analysis follows that thread — three documented shutdowns, the closed loop of the appeal, the W3C standards and the European wallet where the state remains the root of trust. Then the build of the CODE Eternal Digital Passport: JSON on Arweave, a 43-character address, an email fingerprint instead of the email. And the price: if it cannot be revoked, a typo cannot be fixed either.
Key Takeaway: Every credential has an off switch held by its issuer. A record without one cannot be revoked — and a typo in it cannot be fixed either.
DOSSIER #02
Law & Privacy
What “delete” means when there is nothing to delete with
Article 17 of the GDPR demands erasure and nowhere defines the word. The analysis walks that gap: the CJEU judgment in case C-131/12 and its logic of relevance expiring, the three framing numbers — one month to reply, 20 million euro or 4% of turnover, 764 controllers surveyed — and then cryptographic erasure under the NIST standard, which sits at the purge tier rather than destroy. It closes with what CODE Eternal does and four compromises that remain open.
Key Takeaway: Cryptographic erasure under NIST sits at the purge tier, not destroy: the data remains but cannot be read without the key. The analysis names four compromises that remain open.
DOSSIER #03
Protocols & Tech
Twenty dollars for forever
Where the claim comes from that one payment covers permanent storage, and which of the article's assumptions it rests on: 10 GB of memory a year, about $2 per gigabyte, disk prices falling roughly 30 % a year. Plus epistemic drift and the node vote: a memory can only be forged by forging the majority.
Key Takeaway: A one-time payment works as long as storage gets cheaper faster than the data grows. The calculation rests on assumptions — and the analysis names them.
DOSSIER #04
Year in Chronicle
The 2025 review: a calendar and its caveats
8 October, 2 and 18 November, 4 December — a year laid out by date. Which parts are engineering you can check, which are interpretation the author flags as such, and which are honestly left in the future tense.
Key Takeaway: The chronicle separates engineering you can check from the author's interpretation and from what is honestly left in the future tense.
DOSSIER #05
Protocols & Tech
A frame built for the builder's absence
The founding day of the CODE framework read as an engineering specification. Three PADAM memory layers, fifteen-minute deltas in the permaweb, the Soul Token as the heir's key, six router shares — and, kept separate, whatever the source itself calls roadmap and working hypothesis.
Key Takeaway: The specification separates what is described as built — three PADAM layers, deltas, the Soul Token, six router shares — from what the source itself calls roadmap.
DOSSIER #06
Architecture & Ethics
A Paradise Measured by Its Door
A single line of the epigraph turned into a measuring instrument: each of the text's four enclosed spaces is asked one question — is a way out provided. The session that is closed from outside, nine readings of the letter D, sovereign worlds, and a switch built on RSA-4096.
Key Takeaway: The measure of any enclosed space is whether it provides a way out.
DOSSIER #07
Culture & Music
Three Products, One Stream
On 8 July 2026 three separate things were announced in a single press release, and they are easy to confuse: a CODE Music album, a round-the-clock radio station and the radiocode.space platform. Taken apart one by one — what actually launches, where the money comes from, and what the promise of permanence really covers.
Key Takeaway: The three announced things are taken apart one by one — album, round-the-clock radio and platform — with a separate check of what the promise of permanence actually covers.
