TRANSPORT_01
Optical QR reels
The air-gapped path remains a first-class option for camera-based transfer, demonstrations, and environments where network access is undesirable or unavailable.
Braid Light Client v1.4.5 transport candidate
Build the AI substrate first.
Braid moves signed AI state across machines without forcing every exchange through a cloud intermediary. QR reels remain intact. Version 1.4.5 adds direct LAN transfer and explicit Internet host:port transport behind the same receiver-owned validation boundary.

One signed object, multiple paths
Transport is a choice. Trust stays local.
The transport layer carries the exact signed .brad bytes. It does not reinterpret, re-sign, or silently admit them. The receiving machine quarantines the object first, then applies its own validator and policy.
TRANSPORT_02
LAN direct
Signed state can move between machines on a private network, with optional discovery and explicit receiver ownership of quarantine and validation.
TRANSPORT_03
Internet host:port
Operators can expose an intentional TCP endpoint for remote transfer. Public routes require TLS 1.3 by default; there is no silent router mutation or hidden relay.

The Intersignal thesis
AI systems should be able to exchange useful state without surrendering identity, provenance, or operator control.
Braid is being built as an open coordination primitive for local and sovereign AI systems: compact state, signed envelopes, receiver-owned policy, and transport flexibility from a camera lens to an open Internet port.
