OnexOS

The following is an imaginary dialogue from the future, when I've written enough code!

Interesting - sounds like an operating system?

Yes, it's an OS for PCs and nRF52-based devices.

What's different about this one?

It manifests a virtual world!

Oh, OK. Why would you do that?

Well, because the Metaverse should be the foundation of everything computers do!

Very bold, and abstract, but what do you see on boot-up?

You're dropped immediately into a 3D space: a "Parallel Digital Reality".

Oh, like AR, VR - Spatial Computing?

Yes. But unlike Spatial Computing, there are no apps.

OK, so how is all of our stuff, our data, managed?

All of our digital property is placed within this single, seamless, shared space.

Right, but how do you do anything?

Everything can be easily snapped together how we like.

And "snapping" together is all we need?

Mostly: here, everything just works like it would in reality.

So you have rooms with stuff pinned to the walls.

Pinning and snapping: sounds like LEGO!

It should be that easy, yes. All achieved through the pervasive use of "links".

Links? Like URLs?

Like enhanced URLs, yes! Links are handles onto every piece of digital property that we own.

Every piece?

All world objects from a flower petal up to a forest can be grabbed by their links.

And these enhanced URLs work between my objects and yours?

Yes, exactly: this is a distributed OS; we build this space together.

Across all of our devices?

Yes, it works Local-first and peer-to-peer.

OnexOS builds a single, seamless, global, live data fabric, owned by everyone and by no-one.

The first target of OnexOS is to manifest a single, open, P2P Metaverse, in analogy to the Web.

The vision of OnexOS if for us all to reclaim control, sovereignty and empowerment over our own devices, digital property and identities.
