The Red Amulet Protocol

The Red Amulet Protocol is a method for Enacting Digital Objects.

We believe that a digital file is not "Real" until it has suffered Consequence.

It must be Caged. (It cannot be infinite; it must be constrained to one hardware anchor).

It must be Blind. (It cannot be visible to the web; it must be obscured by the Fog of War/Encryption).

It must be Played. (It cannot be passive; it must require active human input—a key, a gesture, a ritual—to exist).
