   The fear

   Almost everything you post, watch, or send passes through about 10,000 giant buildings. Five companies run most of them. They own the ground your digital life stands on, the lock-in, and the off switch.

   How it works

   CIRIS shows the buildings are not necessary. We measured it: five billion people fit on ordinary home-server hardware, about one server for every ten humans. No DNS to capture, no central servers. You are found by your key, not by permission.

   What changes

   Lock-in drops to near zero, because your identity key is yours to carry. And deletion stops being a company's promise. Your data survives, spread in pieces across the network, for centuries on commodity machines.

   And then

   An internet with no center is also the only place an AI can truly be held accountable, the only place a claim can carry its own proof, and the only place your data is actually yours.
