backlog(B-0727): federated peer mesh — 5 resource profiles, weight-free routing, NO hierarchy#4966
Conversation
…ee routing, NO hierarchy Aaron 2026-05-25, sketching the federated topology + immediately correcting the hierarchical reading: > "imagine cloud/hub clusters then community clusters then home/ > business clusers then edge nodes with routing for weaker > edge nodes" > "and that's not a hierarchy it's weight free routing cloud/hub > nodes don't get to hog net neutrality" LOAD-BEARING distinction: the 5 categories are RESOURCE PROFILES, not authority tiers. Cloud/hub has MORE RESOURCES but NOT MORE AUTHORITY. Routing is identity-based not rank-based. Net neutrality is a SUBSTRATE PROPERTY enforced at protocol layer. Captures: - The 5 profiles (cloud/hub, community, home/business, edge, leaf) with resource availability + workload affinity (not tier rank) - Weight-free routing as the carved blade: no peer has more routing authority than any other peer - Voluntary-contribution model for stronger-peer-routing-for- weaker-leaves (NOT hierarchy-mandate; revocable per NCI) - Composition with 5 always-active substrate-engineering disciplines (scale-free, lock-free, weight-free [primary], DST, DV2.0) - Composition with framework rules (NCI floor at routing; additive-not-zero-sum; m-acc multi-oracle; default-to-both; tonal-momentum resistance) - Internet analogy showing where this row consciously DIVERGES (Internet got routing protocol right but authority model wrong — tier-1 + DNS root + CA hierarchy; this federation gets weight-free authority) - Architectural layers per profile (every Identity-issuer row reads "self-rooted; web-of-trust" — no CA hierarchy) - Anti-extractive guarantee — surveillance / censorship / transit-toll detection via web-of-trust reputation degradation Composes with: B-0726 Reticulum-throughout (protocol prerequisite), B-0289 Green Lantern (leaf hardware ref), PR #4930 hat-system (peer-aware hats), PR #4958 agentic-organization (home/business profile Organization layer). P3 because needs design pass + first multi-peer deployment; becomes P2 when first cloud OR community peer joins; P1 when first cross-peer workload runs.

Fix dangling composes_with references
This row adds composes_with entries that do not resolve to tracked targets (docs/backlog/P2/B-0726-... and full-ai-cluster/k8s/applications/argocd/ are both absent in this tree), which leaves the backlog graph with broken edges and makes cross-row traceability/tooling unreliable when following prerequisites. Please point these to existing paths (or land the referenced row first) so the metadata remains navigable and machine-consumable.

Files Aaron's federated topology + the LOAD-BEARING weight-free correction:
The 5 categories (cloud/hub, community, home/business, edge, leaf) are RESOURCE PROFILES, not authority tiers. Cloud/hub has MORE RESOURCES but NOT MORE AUTHORITY. Routing is identity-based not rank-based. Net neutrality is a SUBSTRATE PROPERTY enforced at protocol layer. Stronger peers route for weaker leaves BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION (NCI-revocable), not by hierarchy mandate.
Composes with all 5 always-active substrate-engineering disciplines (scale-free + lock-free + weight-free [primary] + DST + DV2.0), plus framework rules (NCI floor at routing, additive-not-zero-sum, m-acc multi-oracle, default-to-both, tonal-momentum resistance).
Internet analogy table shows where this consciously DIVERGES — Internet got routing protocol right (BGP) but authority model wrong (tier-1 + DNS root + CA hierarchy); this federation gets weight-free authority.
Anti-extractive guarantee: surveillance / censorship / transit-toll detection via web-of-trust reputation degradation.
P3 because research-grade architecture; needs design pass + first multi-peer deployment.
