That’s a reasonable read, and I won’t dodge it.
The difference (for me) is scope: I’m not trying to replace an OS or invent a new universe. It’s intentionally narrow—persistent records first, identity second, tools layered on top.
The language is opinionated, but the constraint is real: records shouldn’t depend on accounts by default.
