Captured retroactively. This represents multi-year conceptual work that pre-dates the platform. The credit value is a post-hoc estimate per the methodology in Entry 017 and is subject to revision under G-038's calibration mechanism. Brandon's allocation is held in escrow pending his first login.
What this represents
The architectural decision from Journal Entry 010 that OLN has three first-class contribution surfaces, distinct from each other and distinct from any one franchise community's surfaces:
- Commons — the neutral, cross-community substrate. Where shared lore primitives live regardless of which franchise community is reading.
- Home — the contributor's personal surface. Where one contributor's body of work is collected and presented under their identity.
- LoreLines — the connective tissue between contributions across communities and contributors. The graph layer that makes the network in Open Lore Network mean something.
The trio is non-trivial because each surface fights a specific failure mode of one of the others. Commons without Home flattens contributor identity. Home without LoreLines makes every contributor's body of work an island. LoreLines without Commons has nothing to connect.
Why this is on the roadmap
Journal Entry 010 references this trio as if it's a settled shape. The Phase 1 NetworkHeader comment even gestures at the mapping ("three navigation entries map to the three first-class contribution surfaces"). The work that produced the trio lives here. None of the three has actually shipped yet — they're future roadmap projects, blocked on the platform basics — but the architecture is decided.
