  "description": "Decentralised spatial AI lab; maker and maintainer of the emem protocol. emem is a verifiable memory made of signed, content-addressed tokens (emem:fact:, emem:bundle:, emem:entity:, emem:raster:, emem:cube:, emem:rasterset:) that any agent cites and anyone verifies offline. Apache-2.0, free to read and run. Earth observation is the substrate shipped today; the token grammar is not satellite-specific, further substrates are roadmap. geo.qa is the same protocol on a private tenant. The only thing for sale is founder time: free office hours, and a paid integration session.",
