tegwick c1424e8863 research: ZigZag/zzstructure deep dive (information space as orthogonal dimensions); UC-47/48/49
Evaluated modelling a wiki information space as a zzstructure: a page is
a cell at the intersection of many co-equal dimensions (namespace tree,
created-from genealogy, version, shard, equivalence, links).
Recommendation: adopt zzstructure as a navigation/visualization/indexing
LENS (a derived dimensional projection over the union), not as the
storage substrate — Git and sovereign shards stay canonical, and the
many-to-many link graph does not fit the one-neighbour-per-dimension rank
rule. Clone <-> transclusion convergence with the Xanadu dive. Added
UC-47/48/49; enriched UC-05/22/26/29; dimensional projection layer +
genealogy-edges-in-journal logged as architecture for SHARD-WP-0002.

SCOPE

One-Liner

Git-based Markdown wiki orchestrator and federation layer — early-stage scaffold with intent, research, and specification groundwork; domain model not yet implemented.

Mode Of Operation

Close the gap between this file and INTENT.md by exploring the problem space (research/), reviewing inbound demand (demand/), refining specifications (spec/), and implementing through registered workplans (workplans/). Learnings update both SCOPE and INTENT where necessary.

Current Status

Layer State
Code Python package scaffold (src/shard_wiki/, smoke tests only)
Intent INTENT.md established; authorization-in-core amendments drafted
Research yawex prior art; c2 origins; federation concepts; wikiengines overview (research/260608-*/); XWiki/TWiki/Foswiki deep dives (research/260613-*/); Xanadu + ZigZag deep dives (research/260614-*/)
Demand NetKingdom integration asks captured, not yet negotiated
Spec Architecture blueprint drafted; UseCaseCatalog 49 UCs from research; PRD/TSD scaffolds
Work SHARD-WP-0001 active (6 tasks); SHARD-WP-0002 active (10 tasks)

In Scope (today)

  • Establishing repository documentation structure and specification groundwork.
  • Federation design informed by yawex prior art (page resolution, namespaces, derived views, provenance, overlays).
  • Authorization model design (delegated authentication, core authorization).
  • Shard adapter contract and wiki page model (to be specified, then implemented).
  • Git-backed coordination journal for information spaces.
  • State Hub workplan registration and consistency sync.

Out Of Scope (today)

  • A standalone wiki engine UI or rendering pipeline.
  • Authentication, credential storage, or user directory implementation.
  • Hard-coded editorial, sync, or conflict-resolution policy.
  • Generic file mirroring independent of wiki-page semantics.
  • Production deployment, multi-tenant operations, or enterprise IAM rollout.

Boundary Rule

shard-wiki orchestrates wiki-shaped content across heterogeneous shards. It provides mechanisms (federation, projection, overlay, patching, reconciliation); policy (canonical source, conflict preference, access rules) remains explicit and configurable. Identity comes from pluggable providers; authorization decisions live in core.

Current Planning

Design work is tracked in workplans/SHARD-WP-0001-yawex-requirements.md (yawex-derived resolution, namespaces, overlays) and workplans/SHARD-WP-0002-federation-architecture.md (federation architecture, decisions, tradeoffs). Specification outputs land in spec/. Inbound integration asks remain in demand/ until reviewed and promoted into spec or workplans.
