Records

A record is the basic unit of structured data in The Wired—a document with a stable identifier, access control, and automatic conflict resolution.

Access

Every record has an access control list. The creator starts as manager and can grant others the ability to read, write, or manage the record. Permissions are part of the record itself.

Collaborative Editing

Records use CRDTs (conflict-free replicated data types) for their contents. Multiple peers can edit the same record simultaneously. Changes merge automatically without conflicts, making real-time and offline collaboration both reliable by default.

History

Changes to records are tracked as signed, incremental updates. Each update is authored by a DID and timestamped. This creates an auditable trail of who changed what and enables sync between data stores.

This also enables roll-back and forking for all data, similar to Git.
