Signals

Evolving models of consequential subjects.

A signal is a bounded public model: its claims, evidence, perspectives, uncertainty, history, and current best-supported synthesis.

How signals are organized

Signals use stable, readable paths that describe their scope. The canonical Maui election path is:

/signals/us/hawaii/maui/elections/2026/mayor

This structure can scale to millions of subjects without creating millions of DNS subdomains. Short aliases can remain available for sharing; each alias points to one canonical record.

When subdomains make sense

Subdomains should identify genuinely separate services or publishing authorities—not individual topics. Future examples might include api.collectivesignal.org for machine access, contribute.collectivesignal.org for authenticated participation, or a regional node operating with meaningful technical and governance independence.
