Memory that outlives its medium
A medium fails, a company shuts down, a format goes obsolete. These analyses are about what has to be built differently for a record to outlive all of that.
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.
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.
Twenty dollars for forever
Where the claim comes from that one payment covers permanent storage: 10 GB of memory a year, $2 per gigabyte, disk prices falling 30 % annually. Plus epistemic drift and the node vote at the fifty-one per cent rule.
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.
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.
