Digital Space Algebra

The exact space where they coexist.

A space is a region of meaning that can contain other spaces. Its location, its readers, and what they're allowed to do to it are properties of that same space — described together by three sets, not three separate systems. Everything below is that one idea, applied at a different depth.

T topology
where it lives
A audience
who can read it
C capability
what's allowed

The formal shape: a space as position, containment order, and an observer/mode/authority-indexed resolution. Where the sets above get their definitions.

The instantiation: how "audience" stops being a permissions table and becomes a cryptographic fact — replication and readability pulled apart, key-wrapped sets, union and intersection over real identities.

how the algebra becomes an addressable URL

Where audience stops being just math and becomes routable: group:name is an anchored shared space — the namespace is stable, membership moves inside it. surface[a+b] is a derived one — the namespace is computed from the member set itself, and stops resolving the moment someone leaves.

Where structure and cryptography meet: privacy as something a space derives from its own definition, not something a platform grants it.

The performance side: once relationships are real pointers instead of copies, one mutation only has to touch what actually depends on it.
