// MAPDiscover what exists

What's possible

A map of what you can actually do today by combining the technologies in this library. Each capability is a real goal; the steps under it are working building blocks, each linking to its entry. Nothing here is theoretical unless its readiness says so.

People often do not act on freedom technology because they do not know it exists, or cannot see how the pieces fit together. This page is the opposite of a product pitch: it starts from things you might want to do, and shows the primitives — already documented here — that compose into each one. Filter by pillar, or just explore.
