The Philosophy Behind Lemina

The Philosophy Behind Lemina sets out the convictions underlying the Lemina Addressing Metamodel — a minimal, text-based model for sending one-way messages to addressed recipients through a mediated "postal" service. It explains why the model takes the shape it does: why it carries no sender identity, seals the payload, promises nothing after delivery, chooses humble textual addresses, and treats one-way delivery as the honest primitive from which every richer interaction is built. The argument turns on a single root — respect for the worlds at either end of a delivery — and on the conviction that the smaller the core, the larger the world it can describe.
