About This Series
The Myceloom Series explores "myceloom" as both linguistic artifact and technical protocol—a framework for building Web4's symbiotic infrastructure across seven interconnected domain layers.
From etymology to implementation, these essays map the mycelial web: distributed networks (.net), adaptive interfaces (.io), living intelligence (.ai), networked identity (.im), community substrates (.org), and collaborative economics (.co).
Created by unearth.im, the digital archaeology foundry building permanent, sovereign infrastructure for the decentralized web.
