The Layered Web

The Layered Web: The Desirable Properties of a Meta-Layer is a BRC333 book inscribed on Bitcoin Ordinals. Browse the live monument below, then use the index for PCI emails, community submissions, and inscribed DP drafts.

Work in progress

The viewer below is the canonical local preview of the Desirable Properties book reader. We're iterating on the chapter index and provenance overlay – it's wired up but rough. Explore the rest of the project in the meantime:

Call for Input inscription

The original Meta-Layer Call for Input satplication (meta-layer-call-for-input) is preserved as a sibling artifact on Bitcoin Ordinals. The iframe above renders the new The Layered Web satplication; the references below point at the historical Call for Input and the how-to-inscribe guidance.
