from: home

to: monograph

type: summarises

description: The homepage introduces the core question: what it means for a work to live beyond property.


to: blackbox

type: introduces

description: The homepage situates BLACKBOX as a proof‑of‑concept experiment.


from: monograph

type: argues-for

description: The monograph argues that no‑rights is a condition for a genuine cultural commons.


type: proposes

description: The monograph develops the concept of relational links as a form of work‑life.


from: no-rights

type: grounds

description: A commons of works that are not owned can only exist under no‑rights.


from: relational-link

type: requires

description: Relational links presuppose works that are not fenced off by exclusive rights.


type: tests

description: The homepage frames IPFS hosting not just as a technical choice but as part of the research.


type: embodies

description: The site openly documents its own construction, embodying the commitment to transparency.


to: kairos-chronos

description: BLACKBOX applies the kairos/chronos distinction to critique copyright's linear, commodifiable time.


from: kairos-chronos

type: informs

description: The kairos/chronos distinction grounds the argument that works have a qualitative life beyond the term of copyright.


type: develops

description: The monograph develops kairos/chronos as a framework for understanding a work's ongoing life.


description: The glossary and open explanation of terms make the project's intellectual commitments accessible.


type: enables

description: Attestation provides provenance without exclusive rights, making a no-rights commons viable.


type: serves

description: Attestation provides a minimal trust layer for a commons that otherwise lacks institutional guarantees.


type: supports

description: Self-contained attestation records remain checkable for as long as the file and attestation exist — no live server required.


description: The IPFS rationale page openly documents technical decisions and their limitations.


type: reflects

description: IPFS content-addressing creates permanent snapshots — anchoring kairotic moments in chronos.


description: The plan to record the site's identifier on-chain is described as 'a small test of the relational link idea'.


from: log/call-for-papers

description: Accepted essays may be archived on BLACKBOX, testing smart contract registration and relational links.


description: The call frames the experiment as testing infrastructure for 'a truly open and free cultural commons'.


from: log/no-code-repositories

description: Writing vanilla HTML/CSS/JS keeps the site lightweight and auditable, consistent with the project ethos.


type: aligns-with

description: Running a local LLM rather than relying on cloud-based AI reflects the refusal of proprietary lock-in.


from: call

description: The CFP explicitly frames Web3 archiving as testing infrastructure for a cultural commons.


type: connects

description: The CFP links Amicus Curiae's open-access publishing to BLACKBOX's Web3 archiving experiment.


description: The BLACKBOX archiving would test 'a permanent, publicly verifiable link between each author and their work'.


from: permanence

type: depends-on

description: IPFS content-addressing provides one layer of permanence, but pinning requires ongoing collective choice.


description: Self-contained attestation records provide long-term verifiability without requiring a live server.


type: extends

description: A relational link stored on IPFS and anchored on-chain is a permanent assertion, even if the pages it connects change.


description: No-rights works need no owner to maintain them; permanence becomes a shared responsibility of the commons.


from: heartbeat

type: operationalises

description: The heartbeat agent performs the attestation concept daily — signing, publishing, and logging.


description: The agent resolves the site's IPNS record and publishes attestations to IPFS.


description: The public, verifiable heartbeat log makes the site's integrity openly auditable.


type: instantiates

description: The agent owns nothing and its attestations enter the cultural commons by default — a working no‑rights steward.


description: Daily signed attestations create a tamper‑evident timeline of the site's content across time.
