Xanadu Principles
Unique Server IDs
Every server gets a secure, one-of-a-kind fingerprint—no duplicates, no confusion.
Independent or Networked Ops
Servers run solo or swarm together; flexibility is the default.
User Verification Lockdown
Every person authenticated uniquely—identity as a fortress.
Universal Access Powers
Search, grab, build, stash docs—empowerment for all users.
Modular Doc Composition
Docs assemble from any parts, any formats—mix like a digital Lego set.
Hyperlinks on Steroids (transclusion)
Embed any links, including transclusions to accessible docs—reuse without copying.
Unbreakable Bidirectional Links
Links show up and trace back from anywhere— no dead ends.
Publish = Permission Granted
Drop a doc public? Linking's auto-approved—frictionless connections.
Granular Royalty Engine
Micropay per chunk accessed, even transclusions—creators eat every time.
Doc DNA Security
Every document uniquely tagged and locked—immutable identity.
Ironclad Access Controls
Secure gates on every doc—your rules, your vault.
Seamless Search & Storage
Hunt, store, fetch fast—users blind to the backend magic.
Smart Storage Migration
Docs auto-shift to hot/cold spots based on hits—efficiency maximized.
Redundant Disaster Proofing
Auto-backups everywhere—survive the apocalypse.
Provider Pricing Freedom
Charge what you want for storage, pulls, publishes—market rules.
Private Transaction Audit
Secure deals, auditable only by insiders—trust without exposure.
Open Protocol Ecosystem
Standards published wide; third-parties build in—innovation unlocked.
