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 moves signed 384D AI state across machines without forcing every exchange through a cloud intermediary. One field. Any path. Optical QR, LAN, and explicit Internet transport now converge on the same automated receiver-owned flow: quarantine, validate, Phase B commit, then emit local state.
The transport layer carries the exact signed .brad bytes. It does not reinterpret, re-sign, or silently admit them. Every path converges on the same automated receiver: quarantine first, Phase A validation, then replay-safe Phase B commit. Only committed state is accepted.
The air-gapped path remains a first-class option for camera-based transfer, demonstrations, and environments where network access is undesirable or unavailable.
Signed state can move directly between machines on a private network. Optional local sensing can suggest nearby peers, but proximity remains an untrusted discovery hint; identity, validation, and acceptance stay receiver-owned.
Operators can expose an intentional TCP endpoint for remote transfer. Public routes require TLS 1.3 by default and feed the same quarantine-and-commit receiver; there is no silent router mutation or hidden relay.
A unified, hardened Light Client that brings optical, local, and explicit Internet paths into one automated 384D receiver surface with a single acceptance boundary.
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 384D state, signed envelopes, receiver-owned policy, automated commit semantics, and transport flexibility from a camera lens to an open Internet port.
