260608 — Federation concepts for unified information spaces

Date: 2026-06-08

What this is

Research into federation models for decentralized but unified knowledge spaces — with emphasis on Federated Wiki (Ward Cunningham, ~2011+) and comparable approaches (git-backed wikis, ActivityPub, Xanadu patterns, yawex REMOTE/VIRTUAL).

Complements research/260608-c2-wiki-origins/ (pre-federation wiki culture) and research/260608-yawex-prior-art/ (Perl engine resolution states).

Focus: terms, architectural patterns, and mapping to shard-wiki INTENT — not implementation specification.
