Document Federated Wiki mechanics (fork, journal, inverted browser model), Caulfield lifecycle concepts, and comparison with git-backed wikis, ActivityPub/XWiki, Xanadu patterns, and yawex REMOTE/VIRTUAL. Map findings to shard-wiki INTENT without equating fedwiki to orchestration.

# 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.
