Digital Philosophy
Digital Sovereignty
The extension of sovereign authority into the digital realm — controlling the full stack from hardware and keys to jurisdiction and data residency.
Definition
The extension of sovereign authority into the digital realm. Where physical sovereignty concerns borders and law, digital sovereignty concerns keys, computation, and data residency. A digitally sovereign individual or institution controls the full stack of their digital existence: from the hardware that stores their keys to the jurisdiction that governs their data. It is not an aspiration — it is an architecture.
