Sovereign Intelligence
Each node runs its own AI, database, web server, and sensor pipeline. No cloud. No permission. No phone-home. The node doesn't report to a network — it is a complete nervous system.
Live across 3 continents
The Internet routes packets.
FrogNet routes meaning.
A self-forming mesh of autonomous computers that think together when they can and think alone when they must. Full web applications over any transport — including a 4800-baud radio channel with 20% packet loss. Running now across Seattle, New York, and Amsterdam.
The Architecture
Four papers. One architectural narrative.
Why the cloud broke the Internet's original design. What the ARPANET architects got right. How FrogNet implements it. And the semantic layer that makes it work over a 4800-baud radio channel with 20% packet loss.

Guest on The Bold Inventors Podcast
A technical, plain-language discussion of FrogNet and why privacy failures on the public Internet are structural, not accidental.
The problem
The Internet was designed as a network of independent networks. We traded all of that for the cloud.
Modern cloud-based systems assume the network exists, is fast, and is reliable. When those assumptions don't hold — disaster zones, farms, ships, forward operating bases, radio links — the system doesn't degrade gracefully. It stops. Completely. FrogNet restores the original architectural principles and extends them with a semantic layer that transmits only what changed.
Any Transport, Simultaneously
WiFi, Ethernet, ham radio, LoRa, MeshCore, WireGuard tunnels, satellite — FrogNet routes across all of them at the same time. Traffic arriving on WiFi can exit over HF radio.
93.8% Less Data on the Wire
BLDC-1 semantic compression learns the structure of real traffic and sends only what changed. A 10KB sensor response becomes 20 bytes. Dashboards update in real time over radio links.
