Hi HN, I'm the author.
While building this, I stumbled upon an unintentional revelation:
most complex social structures can be established with just HTML, Time, and Human Action.
Memoria is an attempt to separate "Existence" (anyone can post)
from "Meaning" (what continues to resonate over time).
Most current platforms conflate the two, which tends to collapse everything
into algorithmic attention optimization.
I built a series of small, local-first demos to test whether this separation
can work without servers, tokens, or consensus layers:
1. v1: Single node — Meaning requires Time
2. v2: Multi-agent — Meaning requires Witnesses
3. v2.1: Two-device — Meaning requires Friction (ledger transfer)
4. v4.6.4: Social validation — Meaning requires Thresholds
5. Sybil Resistance: a toy where you can spawn 50 bots,
but they can't climb the feed because they lack "Wallet Mass"
All of the logic lives in a single static HTML file (index.html).
The ledger is append-only JSON, and the state is fully replayable offline.
I'm curious how this "post-hoc meaning" approach resonates with people here,
especially compared to algorithmic ranking or upfront moderation.
