.me URI Scheme (v1)
Semantic Reconstruction Architecture
A semantic, sovereign, and distributed addressing protocol for personal identity and mesh networks.
Main Scheme
me://[namespace][selector]/[path]
Scheme
me:// — Required. Identifies this as a .me URI.
Namespace
[a-z0-9._-]+ — Optional.
Example: jabellae.cleaker.me
Represents the canonical identity. If omitted, it defaults to local context.
Selector
Optional. Defines how to resolve the expression in the mesh.
Supported formats:
[surface:iphone]— Target a specific surface[]— Broadcast to all surfaces[current]— Current surface only[claim:7f3k9p]— Special claim operation
Path
Any semantic path — Optional.
Examples: profile, wallet.balance, chat/general
Official Examples
Public Profile
me://jabellae.cleaker.me/profile
Broadcast to all surfaces
me://jabellae.cleaker.me[]/chat
Specific Surface
me://jabellae.cleaker.me[surface:iphone]/runtime.battery
Claim New Surface
me://jabellae.cleaker.me[claim:7f3k9p]/new-surface
Secret-protected Access
me://secret:my-key@jabellae.cleaker.me/vault/keys
Local (legacy)
me://profile.name
Namespace only
me://jabellae.cleaker.me
Formal Grammar (ABNF)
me-uri = "me://" [ namespace ] [ selector ] [ "/" path ]
namespace = 1*( ALPHA / DIGIT / "." / "_" / "-" )
selector = "[" ( "current" / "" / "surface:" surface-name / "claim:" token ) "]"
surface-name = 1*( ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "_" )
token = 1*( ALPHA / DIGIT )
path = *( VCHAR / "/" )
Daemon Command Surface (monad.ai)
me:// also serves as an internal command surface for the monad.ai daemon, using a colon-separated operation form:
me://[namespace]:[operation]/[path]
| Example | Meaning |
|---|---|
me://self:read/profile |
Read profile on the local monad |
me://self:write/profile.name |
Write profile.name on the local monad |
me://kernel:export/snapshot |
Export a kernel snapshot |
me://kernel:replay/memory |
Replay the memory ledger |
me://kernel:rehydrate/snapshot |
Rehydrate from snapshot |
me://kernel[device:localhost\|protocol:http\|port:8161]:export/snapshot |
Targeted export with selector |
This form is distinct from the NRP canonical resource URI above — it routes internally within a running monad rather than across the mesh.
Purpose of the Standard
The .me:// URI scheme is a semantic addressing system designed for sovereign identities and distributed surface networks (Mesh). Unlike traditional URLs, a .me URI does not merely point to a static resource. Instead, it describes where and how to resolve information within a distributed personal identity.
It enables:
- Reading and writing across multiple devices
- Secure pairing of new surfaces
- Conditional access using structural secrets
- Contextual resolution (local, broadcast, or specific surface)
This standard aims to be open, public domain, and freely usable by anyone or any project that needs a sovereign personal identity layer.
