The Firma Architecture
The emerging Firma technical and institutional architecture — structured like technical documentation, with every component labeled by maturity: concept, proposed, designed, prototyped, deployed, operational, or proven.
✴ Components
07 published- AR_01RealmA Realm is the living personal edge domain through which a person or household participates in the greater network.
- AR_02FirmamintFirmamint is the proposed shared substrate through which distinct people, Realms, Settlemints, Districts, and political communities may coordinate, remember, exchange, compute, prove, and interoperate.
- AR_03The Protocol StackThe Settlemint Stack is the integrated protocol stack combining the modular protocols required for a functioning settlement — Firmamint, Governmint, Embodimint, Elemint, Figmint, Atonemint, and Testamint.
- AR_04GovernmintThe governance and jurisdiction layer — one possible implementation of the governance function every settlement requires.
- AR_05EmbodimintThe human identity and reputation layer — how a settlement remembers who a person is and what they have contributed, without reducing them to a score.
- AR_06BasemintThe connective layer that keeps a settlement's economy from becoming a sealed room — how internal value reaches the world outside, described at the level of function, not mechanism.
- AR_07THEOSThe agentic operating system — the software layer that helps an organization stay aligned with its own governing intent without replacing human judgment, and gives every Settlemint its own private, sharded instance rather than one central mind.
