The Protocol
StreetMesh is an open source framework for spatially organizing the Web, built on open standards and existing protocols. This is its protocol: the rules that let people, machines, and places coexist on the Web with the fluidity and orientation we already have in the physical world.
What this is
A webpage is not only graphics on a screen — it can be a room you walk through. A dashboard is not only data — it can be a place you stand in. The guides below start from how the Web got here and work toward what it takes to build somewhere people can actually be.
With just a few constraints, imagination finds its wings — structure does not confine creativity, it sets it free. — Unknown
Guides
Components
The pieces a spatial Web is assembled from, and what each one is responsible for.

The open standards underneath — HTTP, DIDs, OAuth, ATProtocol — and how they fit together.
The specification
Glossary
Every term in plain language, and whether it is ours or borrowed. Start here if anything reads as jargon.
Decisions
Why StreetMesh is shaped as it is: what was decided, what it was decided instead of, and what settled it.
Conformance
Executable vectors, and the arbiter. A claim about the wire that is not in here is an opinion.
Roadmap
What v0 is, which repositories deliver it, and what has been deferred on purpose.
