consent by architecture
nobody can notify you until you have put them on your home screen and authorized it yourself. it is not a setting. it is the only way the thing is built.
your connections
belong to you.
no phone number. no directory. no platform in between.
install mea card comes to you. tap it, and it is yours.
your face. their home screen.
you are an app. you always were. when someone adds you, your face is the icon they tap — not a name in a list of a thousand others.
rescind anytime
either party can close a channel permanently. the other person is told, plainly, and nothing is pushed at them. bilateral and clean.
we don't sell that opportunity to anyone. not even to us.
