* **Identity is canonical** — There's one source of truth for who you are. * **Session is volatile** — Login/logout doesn't touch your core identity. * **Surfaces are plural** — Your Mac, phone, server, etc., are all just "surfaces" of the same .me.
# What makes it different
* **Reactive by default**: Any change to a path automatically notifies subscribers (very fast O(k) resolution). * **Semantic paths**: You don't get("user.profile.name"), you just ask for profile.name . The kernel understands context, surfaces, and selectors (\[current\], \[\], \[surface:iphone\]). * **Built-in Mesh awareness**: It knows you're not just running on one device. It can resolve paths across multiple surfaces. * **.me URI scheme**: You can encode any operation into a scannable QR code (me://jabellae.cleaker.me\[claim:xyz123\]/new-surface). #technology
