What Should You See Next — and Why?

Traditional platforms answer this with advertising. mesh.link answers it with three questions, in order of priority.

Principle 1 — Highest Priority

Proven Track Record

Content with consistently positive community feedback, services with high completion rates, actors with sustained contributions. Past performance, verified by the community, is the strongest signal.

Principle 2

Current Interest

Alignment with what you are engaged with right now, tracked locally by mesh.observer. Your interest data never leaves your device. The network never learns what you are interested in.

Principle 3

Predicted Interest

Opinion similarity, topic neighborhoods, behavioral co-occurrence, and predicted demand identify content you have not yet encountered but are likely to find valuable.

These three questions — proven value, current interest, predicted interest — replace the single question that advertising-driven platforms ask: “who paid the most?”

How Discovery Scores Are Computed

All seven link types are combined through a ranking model that enforces the three discovery principles.

Relevance
Query match, similarity,
interest alignment
×
Credibility
Author reputation,
feedback, calibration
×
Freshness
Temporal recency,
engagement-modulated
+
Diversity
Max 20% per author,
30% per domain

No volume advantage. No recency advantage without quality. No coordination advantage. No cross-domain manipulation. Reputation does not transfer across domains.

Structural Constraints That Cannot Be Overridden

These walls exist to preserve the integrity of attention in the ecosystem. No configuration, governance decision, or future development can override them.

Attention Cannot Be Purchased

No mechanism exists or will be created for converting money into discovery ranking. Promotion requires contribution credits, earned through demonstrated contribution, never purchased. No premium tier, no enterprise exception, no “sponsored content.”

Actors Cannot Be Promoted

Actors can be endorsed by peers who stake their credibility. They cannot be promoted through CC-staked visibility boosts. This prevents personality cults and influencer dynamics.

The Loudest Voice Has No Advantage

Volume of content, frequency of promotion, number of referrals, and social network size provide no ranking advantage. The model rewards quality, accuracy, and relevance.

Attribution Is Mandatory

Every non-implicit link displays its type and source. No anonymous promotion, no hidden endorsement, no disguised referral. Full transparency at every level.

Your Data Stays on Your Device

Detailed personal data never leaves your device. Only anonymized, aggregated signals enter the network.

🔒 Stays Local

  • Engagement history
  • Interest profile
  • Personal co-occurrence matrix
  • Search history
  • Feed composition logic

🌐 Anonymous Aggregates

  • TopicIndex shards (no user attribution)
  • Co-occurrence pair counts (min 3 peers)
  • Opinion matrices (factor scores only)
  • Content embeddings (not user embeddings)

Attributed (Voluntary)

  • Explicit links (author-attributed)
  • Promotion links (promoter-attributed)
  • Endorsement links (endorser-attributed)
  • Referral links (referrer-attributed)

Fully P2P, No Central Server

mesh.link operates entirely within the P2P network. Each peer maintains local indexes that serve their own discovery needs and contribute to the collective.

Name Index

Trie-based lookup of entity names, aliases, and abbreviations for implicit link detection.

Topic Index

Per-topic Flexsearch indexes, replicated as TopicIndex CRDT documents via Peerbit.

Embedding Index

Local vector index of MIA-generated content embeddings for semantic similarity search.

Opinion Matrix Cache

Local cache of mat3 topic similarity from the six-stage pipeline, updated incrementally.
