# Nightpapers skill — canon update · 2026-07-08

**What this is:** the taxonomy/architecture delta to fold into the `nightpapers` skill (and `kidunaverse-cofounder` — companion file beside this one) before nightpaper drafting begins. Installed skills are read-only from working sessions — apply via Settings → Capabilities (or the skill source repo), pasting the sections below into the skill's reference material.

## The final taxonomy (supersedes all earlier vocabularies)

**Primary nodes:** Member (FROST wallet) · Ally (agent NFT in the member's wallet; one per member, works across all dunas; personas of one system) · Connection (member↔member, carrying grants) · Guild (ad-hoc named group — no wallet, off-chain) · Alliance (Squads wallet; on-chain; always precedes an Organization) · Organization = duna (on-chain when its WV Org ID validates; treasury + squad wallet; its Forum) · Institution (outside registered entity; squad wallet; ≤10 enrolled members from a $1K Compute purchase; contracts with anyone; cannot vote) · Tool · Code · **Compute** (canonical term — never "compute currencies"; "you buy Kiduna Compute").

**Agent families:** exactly two — **Allies** (always of a member) and **Actors** (electors, operators, performers, workers — everything not member-bound).

**Access levels, on everything** (information, tools, connections, alliances, organizations): **public** (anyone) · **private** (visible; permission or code required — author sets terms, can be paid) · **secret** (undiscoverable; code required even to find) · **personal** (me and my ally only, never shareable). Metadata on every item: author, name, handle, description.

**Deciding:** Markets are **Forums**. One pass/fail token per member, equal, free — deciding is never fundraising. Passed proposals execute named **duna commands** atomically (treasury, Compute, membership, Programs, alliances, organizations, governance, economy, commerce, identity families).

**Levels** (per-duna, founder-set): Guest · Member ($100 in Compute for Kinship Duna; once a member always a member) · Organizer (downline = **Clan**, 4 levels) · Founder (first X > 100; Kinship Duna: first 1,000) · Builder · Creator · Catalyst ($100K) · Luminary ($1M).

**Training:** **Kidunaversity**, the first **Reality Game** — nothing inside affects the Kidunaverse; entered via portals in chat; allies wear roles; actors have routines; sim Compute is named in-fiction.

## The architecture (for the tech-spec halves of papers)

Graph database as the central organizing principle (in-house; models query graph only) + pgvector for embeddings + Postgres relational for accounts/APIs only. One agent system wearing personas; one permission-filtered context store; instructions only from your own member, everything else weighted context. One bot per channel (Telegram bot: Kiduna). Interface: one dialogue, text or realtime voice (voice never takes the screen; folded transcript); cards open fuller UIs and return to chat; all money on the web.

## The protocol (for the genesis paper's economic/legal spine)

On-chain, completely and only: members, allies, alliances, organizations (validated against WV SoS Org IDs — the only central registry), Compute, votes with settlement. Decentralized, permissionless, composable: anyone can create a wallet + agent NFT + their own stack. Internet scale via DNS TXT records binding domains to accountable entities — **the agentic internet IS the Kidunaverse**. Kinship Duna is genesis in sequence, not authority; every duna has equal power. Public metrics: Organizations, Members, Allies, Alliances, Compute.

## Paper-mapping notes

The genesis nightpaper's spine is now: the two worlds → one dialogue → the minimal protocol → the 31 dunas as the living proof (use only real dunas as examples — full list + variance analysis in `organizations.md`). Retired vocabulary to purge from drafts: compute currencies, markets(→Forums), groups(→Guilds), avatars, performers-as-roster(→Actors), Edition/broadsheet, DunaVERSE, Kaduna. Deferred/unchanged: organizer commission percentages (under rework — never quote), HEARTS naming question, $KIDUNA at founding-round close.

## Evening delta · 2026-07-08 (v4.2)

- **Surface names are canon:** **Chat** (text + realtime voice) and **Reality** (isometric/immersive/any graphic system). Kidunaversity is Reality's first Reality Game. Retire "the Thread," "the dialogue," "the world/training view" as surface names in new writing — Chat and Reality.
- **Actions are a first-class track:** the baseline inventory (Converse · Remember/Recall · Invite/Connect · Decide · Pay · Make · Enter) is documented per surface with role gates; every action is a graph node; duna commands are the organizational half. Extension rule: name · family · surfaces · role gate · level behavior · command(s).
- **Roles supersede levels** where they conflict: Guest (Host ally serves all guests) · Member · Founder (first X>100; KD first 1,000) · Organizer (appointed ambassador+, paid via lineage/Compute) · Creator (assigned by Creators) · Builder (assigned by Builders) · **Catalyst = founder of a new duna** (Matt Simon — Service Alliance; Mama Ayo — Black Love) · **Luminary = major advisor** (Howard Teich, Four Arrows, Renée Smith, Bill Thatcher, Darcia Narvaez) · Institution (Kiduna Club, KII, Kinship Systems; Circle potential partner). The $100K/$1M wealth thresholds are OUT of the role definitions.
- **Vocabulary:** domains bound by DNS TXT are "**accountable**," not "trusted" (Design R4). The genesis paper should use the named people/dunas above — the roster is now real, not hypothetical.
- **For the genesis nightpaper's structure:** the seven tracks are a ready-made skeleton — the paper can walk Experience → Orchestration → Foundation → Protocol → Organizations → Actions → Roles as "what it's like → how it thinks → what it remembers → what it promises → who it is → what you can do → who you are."
