Digital Philosophy
Sovereignty
The structural capacity to exist without permission — where your data, keys, and identity are governed by architecture you control, not terms of service you accept.
Definition
The condition of answering to no authority above oneself. In digital terms, sovereignty means that your data, your keys, your computations, and your identity are governed by architecture you control — not by terms of service you accept. Sovereignty is not privacy alone; it is the structural capacity to exist without permission. CLAVI builds the hardware that makes this condition possible.
