The file
Not a row in a database. Not a post on someone's platform. A single, portable, self-contained file — a Score cartridge — that any surface can render and no surface can take from you. Here's everything it is.
One file, decoded
An omniglot is one file that is simultaneously valid as several formats. Point a music player at it, it plays. Point a reader at it, it reads. Point a verifier at it, it checks out. Same file. No copies.
The full nature set
Every cue carries the base three. On top of those, an optional face and a v2 layer — each one adds capability without ever compromising the base. Strip any layer and you lose a picture, never a word.
The recording — the primary editorial act, playable everywhere. You finish a song, hit the button, and talk. This is the thing you actually made.
Whisper-derived text, generated on your device. The readable blog post, the searchable surface, the podcast show notes. Editable before you publish; the voice always stays the source.
Signed with your key, Decan-timestamped, hash-chained. Tamper-evident and attributable. Declared, not safe — it proves authorship and integrity, never sincerity.
The amplitude bloom the cue renders of itself — its face wherever an image shows and a document can't: chat previews, social thumbnails, the blogroll. Strip it, lose the picture, never a word.
The webcam cue — the vlog-format review, provenance-chained. Sits above voice per the additive-layer law: a video cue degrades to an audio cue degrades to a text post.
In the app it's never jargon. Three plain buttons. The format breakdown and the signature line are one tap away if you want them — most people never need to look.
The collection tier
One cue is an omniglot. So is a collection of them — your whole blog, a month, an album's worth. A collection can do things a single cue can't, and it does them for free, by construction.
An ordered list of every track you've cued. Point any media player at it and it queues the whole thing, in order. Your taste, as a playlist.
The same ordered list as a feed — each cue an episode, the voice the enclosure, the transcript the show notes. Your blog's RSS feed is a podcast feed. No extra step.
The desktop-only record of what actually played — the scrobble chain, Decan-timestamped, with the tracks you reacted to marked. Where listening, reacting, and proof converge into one object.
Deeper cues
A cue doesn't have to be about a whole track. Drop one at a timestamp inside the song — the exact moment you stopped to react. String a series across every track on a record, and you've written an album essay: one bound, publishable artifact.
The hot dots on the ring are point-in-time cues — the exact moments inside the track you stopped to react to. An album essay strings these across every track as one collection.
Wherever you go, your cues come with you. That's the whole point of a file.
