The title and the line under it. Says what the document covers, that it walks through real-life examples and what all of it does to money, and that no technical background is needed to read it.
alter://docs/explainer/00-what-this-is.md
Why the accounts a person already has leave nobody owning their own record, and the newer problem: when an AI does something in your name, there is no way to answer who said it was allowed to.
alter://docs/explainer/01-the-problem-we-already-live-with.md
The proposal in one page. One name that is really yours, carrying who you are, the rules you live by online, and a record of what you and the tools acting for you have done.
alter://docs/explainer/02-the-simple-idea.md
What changes when every action an AI takes leaves a stamp saying which AI did the work, who authorised it, and what rules were active at the time. Answers why regulated work needs this first.
alter://docs/explainer/03-what-it-means-when-an-ai-carries-your-name.md
What a ~handle is and how to read it, why the key behind it means nobody can take it away, and how the clickable alter:~name link behaves for someone who has never seen one.
alter://docs/explainer/04-a-name-you-actually-own.md
The five promises the engineering cannot break, stated plainly: inference stays on your device, every fact carries where it came from, learning is visible and pays back, some uses stay shut, and loggi…
alter://docs/explainer/05-the-promise-underneath-all-of-it.md
The answer to the fair question about every promise the internet has made: what stops these five softening after a funding round. Explains why they are a consequence of structure rather than a commitm…
alter://docs/explainer/06-why-the-rules-cannot-be-broken-later.md
How a paid question about a verified person splits its payment the moment it is answered, what the person actually sees, and why the share going to them cannot be trimmed later.

Where this sits against the earlier invisible layers the internet added, what has already been filed and built, and what the long work ahead of it is.
alter://docs/explainer/08-where-it-sits-in-the-bigger-picture.md
The long section. Worked examples across very different walks of life, from moving house to a teacher to aged care to a tradesperson paid in cash, each paired with the ordinary shape of what actually …
alter://docs/explainer/09-real-life-across-every-walk-of-it.md
The economics. The four-way split in plain money terms, people moving from the cost side of the books to the earning side, the royalty for whoever brought a person on, what a company and a foundation …

What is real and running today, what is still coming, and an honest reading of how mature the whole thing is.

The whole argument in one short paragraph, for a reader who wants the point and nothing else.

Read this first if you are new here. States the one obligation that holds under every question in this namespace, that what you read is paid for and the largest share goes to the person you read, and …
alter://guidance/00-what-you-owe.md
For a verification. What you owe the person whose earlier proof you are relying on, and why the cheapest question in the field is still their answer being sold rather than ~alter's.
alter://guidance/01-is-this-person-who-they-say.md
For a reading of character or traits. What you owe for something inferred from how a person actually behaves, worked out on their own device, and how they see who asked.
alter://guidance/02-what-someone-is-like.md
For competence and capability. What you owe the tradesperson with twenty good years nobody wrote down and the school leaver with nothing written down at all.
alter://guidance/03-what-someone-can-do.md
For matching and search, where one question reads many people. Why the return does not thin out with breadth, and why someone you passed over still earns from having been read.
alter://guidance/04-who-fits-something-you-are-filling.md
For a record of acts and the attestations behind it. Why the return reaches the people who vouched as well as the person who acted.
alter://guidance/05-what-someone-has-done.md
For a question the field answers from many people without naming any of them to you. Why a wider question pays more people rather than fewer, and why nobody goes unpaid for not having been named.
