.seigr File Format

The .seigr file (pronounced "dot-seigr") is the Symbiotic Environment of Interconnected Generative Records, forming the fundamental unit of structured, ethical, and adaptive data within the Seigr Ecosystem.

Each .seigr file encapsulates Seigr Cells, modular information units with a genetic-like data lineage, resilient replication, and self-healing properties. Through RE-L (Rebel Earthling License), every .seigr file inherits, enforces, and propagates ethical licensing at both the file and Seigr Cell levels.

This format is the foundation of the Seigr Protocol, ensuring that data remains decentralized, cryptographically verified, and ethically managed across the network.

Concept and Structure

The .seigr format combines biological principles, cryptographic hashing, and modular design to form an interconnected, evolving data ecosystem.

Capsule-Based Execution

Each .seigr file functions as a Seigr Capsule, operating within the Capsule Execution Layer (SCE). This ensures:

Immutable Capsule Integrity → Each .seigr file maintains self-contained execution logic, ensuring data lineage and cryptographic trust.
Multi-Path Hash Linking → Capsules interlink using primary and secondary hashes, ensuring resilience and non-linear data retrieval.

Seigr Cell Inheritance & RE-L Integration

Every .seigr file is composed of Seigr Cells—discrete, interlinked data units.
RE-L enforcement occurs at the Cell level, ensuring that every contribution retains its licensing, origin, and ethical metadata.
Like DNA sequences in biological organisms, Seigr Cells pass licensing rules through cryptographic linkage, ensuring immutable lineage tracking.

Generative & Adaptive Data Structure

Evolutionary Storage Model → Like biological cells storing and transmitting genetic information, .seigr files adapt to evolving network conditions.
RE-L Genetic Print → Every .seigr file inherits ethical constraints encoded into its Seigr Cells, ensuring indelible contributor attribution.

Seigr Protocol & Cryptographic Structure

The Seigr Protocol governs .seigr file behavior through a structured, self-verifiable data and execution framework.

Core Components

Seigr Metadata → Ensures each Seigr Cell retains distinct, traceable, and interoperable records.
Temporal Layering → Embeds time-indexed snapshots, enabling historical reconstruction & rollback.
Encoder/Decoder Module → Converts binary data into senary (base-6) encoding for energy-efficient processing.

RE-L Licensing Enforcement

Every .seigr file contains an immutable RE-L enforcement layer, ensuring:

Contributor Attribution → Every Seigr Cell retains RE-L metadata, permissions, and monetization rules.
Multi-Layer Lineage Tracking → Changes are cryptographically logged, preventing data corruption or unauthorized alteration.

Mathematical Structure: Multi-Path Hashing

Each .seigr file maintains multi-dimensional hash linking, ensuring fault tolerance and adaptive retrieval.

Let:

H(c) be the hash of a Seigr Cell c.
H'(c, t) represent the cryptographic lineage of c at time t.

Multi-path hash linking ensures: $H'(c,t)=H(c)\oplus H(c_{parent})\oplus H(t)$

Where:

H(c_parent) ensures cryptographic inheritance.
H(t) timestamps lineage evolution.

Binary-Senary Hybrid Execution & Sensory Tagging

The .seigr format integrates Seigr-native processing with legacy binary execution, preserving data lineage and RE-L governance.

Hybrid Execution

UBSB allows seamless execution of binary processes inside Seigr Capsules.
Binary Payload Encapsulation ensures non-native data can still inherit Seigr’s ethical and security principles.

Sensory-Based Processing

Sensory Metadata Tagging → .seigr files attach sensory-executable metadata, enabling AI-driven retrieval and pattern recognition.
Capsule-Based Sensory Abstraction Layer (CBSAL) → Facilitates context-aware Seigr-native AI interactions.

Key Features of .seigr Files

The .seigr format incorporates advanced resilience, modularity, and cryptographic security.

Key Features of .seigr Files
Feature	Description
Fixed Size (53,194 Bytes)	Standardized data capsule size ensures predictable replication & efficient retrieval.
Senary Encoding	Base-6 encoding minimizes energy usage, aligning with Seigr’s eco-conscious computing principles.
Primary & Secondary Hash Links	Ensures multi-path retrieval, fault tolerance, and non-linear execution tracking.
Demand-Based Replication	Capsules replicate based on real-time access patterns, ensuring optimal resource allocation.
IPFS Compatibility	.seigr files integrate with IPFS for decentralized redundancy.

Adaptive Replication & Self-Healing

Biologically-Inspired Replication

Like neural networks adjusting synaptic strength, .seigr capsules replicate adaptively based on demand & access frequency.

Let:

A be the capsule access rate.
R be its redundancy factor.
S be its security classification.

The probability of replication follows: $P_{replicate}={\frac {A}{R+S}}$

Self-Healing & Integrity Enforcement

If corruption is detected:

Multi-Path Hash Recovery → Capsules rebuild from alternative hash references.
Dynamic Regeneration → Seigr Cells self-reconstruct by cross-verifying with parent nodes.

Node Identity & Trust-Based Execution

Each .seigr file is bound to Seigr's cryptographic identity model, ensuring trusted execution.

Node Identity & Trust-Based Execution
Security Feature	Description
Hardware-Bound Cryptographic Signatures	Prevents unauthorized execution outside verified Seigr nodes.
Network-Wide Trust Enforcement	Execution lineage tracking prevents unauthorized capsule replication.
Seigr Hardware Identity Layer (SHIL)	Automatically authenticates and validates all .seigr executions.

RE-L Genetic Print & Contribution Unit (CU) Tracking

Inherited RE-L Licensing at Every Level

Each Seigr Cell inside a .seigr file retains:

Immutable Contribution Units (CUs) that track creator attributions, role definitions, and licensing metadata.
Adaptive Contribution Units (ACUs) for layered modifications without altering core lineage.
RE-L Automated Enforcement → Unauthorized licensing changes trigger Hyphen Network validation.

Mathematically: $L_{inherit}=L_{parent}\oplus H(CU)\oplus H(ACU)$ where:

L_{inherit} is inherited licensing.
H(CU) enforces Contribution Unit rules.
H(ACU) tracks modifications.

Conclusion

The .seigr format redefines digital integrity through modular evolution, ethical governance, and cryptographic enforcement. Every .seigr file is a living, interwoven data entity, inheriting RE-L like genetic markers to ensure a sustainable, decentralized, and ethically governed future.

-The `.seg` file is a revolutionary data format designed specifically for the [[Seigr Urcelial-net|Seigr Urcelial-net]] decentralized network. Inspired by the structure and behavior of mycelial networks in nature, `.seg` files allow data to grow and connect seamlessly across a distributed ecosystem, ensuring security, accessibility, and scalability in a decentralized manner. By utilizing the `.seg` format, Seigr’s network can distribute sensitive data in a way that is robust, efficient, and designed to include all types of devices, regardless of power or performance level.
+The ''.seigr'' file ('''pronounced "dot-seigr"''') is the '''Symbiotic Environment of Interconnected Generative Records''', forming the fundamental unit of structured, ethical, and adaptive data within the '''Seigr Ecosystem'''.
-== Why the .seg File Format? ==
+Each ''.seigr'' file '''encapsulates Seigr Cells''', modular information units with a '''genetic-like data lineage''', '''resilient replication''', and '''self-healing''' properties. Through '''RE-L (Rebel Earthling License)''', every ''.seigr'' file '''inherits, enforces, and propagates ethical licensing''' at both the '''file and Seigr Cell levels'''.
-As we step into a new era of decentralized and community-driven technology, data must be managed, protected, and shared in ways that support inclusivity, security, and adaptability. The `.seg` format is developed to meet these needs, allowing data to be divided into standardized, compact units of **539 KB** that can be handled by devices of any capability. With `.seg` files, we’re breaking away from traditional file systems by encoding each data segment in a base-6, or [[senary|senary]], format. This novel approach maximizes storage efficiency, ensures tamper-proof integrity, and creates a harmonious system where even the smallest contributors play a vital role in the network.
+This format is the foundation of the '''Seigr Protocol''', ensuring that data remains '''decentralized, cryptographically verified, and ethically managed''' across the network.
-== Key Features of .seg Files ==
-The `.seg` file format introduces several groundbreaking features designed to make data handling more flexible, secure, and accessible:
+== Concept and Structure ==
-* **Fixed Size of 539 KB**: Each `.seg` file is precisely 539 KB, making it universally manageable across devices, from high-powered servers to mobile devices and small single-board computers. This ensures that the Seigr Urcelial-net remains accessible and scalable for all participants.
+The ''.seigr'' format combines '''biological principles, cryptographic hashing, and modular design''' to form an '''interconnected, evolving''' data ecosystem.
-* **Senary Encoding**: Unlike traditional data systems that rely on binary or base-10 encoding, `.seg` files use [[senary|senary]] (base-6) encoding, meaning each segment represents data using only six unique characters (0-5). This unique approach allows for a highly compact form of data storage that aligns with the network's needs for efficient and distributed storage.
+=== Capsule-Based Execution ===
+Each ''.seigr'' file functions as a '''Seigr Capsule''', operating within the [[Special:MyLanguage/Seigr Capsule Engine (SCE) | Capsule Execution Layer (SCE)]]. This ensures:
-* **Tamper-Proof Hash Chaining**: Each `.seg` file includes a cryptographic hash that links it to the previous and next `.seg` files in sequence. This “hash chain” ensures that any attempt to alter a single `.seg` file can be immediately detected, securing the integrity of the entire data structure.
+* '''Immutable Capsule Integrity''' → Each ''.seigr'' file maintains '''self-contained execution logic''', ensuring '''data lineage''' and '''cryptographic trust'''.
+* '''Multi-Path Hash Linking''' → Capsules interlink using '''primary and secondary hashes''', ensuring '''resilience''' and '''non-linear data retrieval'''.
-* **Decentralized Distribution**: Stored and distributed over [[IPFS|IPFS]] (InterPlanetary File System), each `.seg` file is part of a decentralized network that supports secure, verifiable, and location-independent data access. This storage system enables seamless and efficient data sharing among all participants, which we refer to as [[Hyphens|Hyphens]] in the network.
+=== Seigr Cell Inheritance & RE-L Integration ===
+* Every ''.seigr'' file is '''composed of Seigr Cells'''—discrete, interlinked data units.
+* '''RE-L enforcement occurs at the Cell level''', ensuring that '''every contribution retains its licensing, origin, and ethical metadata'''.
+* '''Like DNA sequences in biological organisms, Seigr Cells pass licensing rules through cryptographic linkage''', ensuring '''immutable lineage tracking'''.
-== Structure of a .seg File ==
+=== Generative & Adaptive Data Structure ===
+* '''Evolutionary Storage Model''' → Like biological cells '''storing and transmitting genetic information''', ''.seigr'' files adapt to evolving network conditions.
+* '''RE-L Genetic Print''' → Every ''.seigr'' file '''inherits ethical constraints''' encoded into its '''Seigr Cells''', ensuring '''indelible contributor attribution'''.
-The `.seg` file is designed to be minimal yet powerful. Here’s what each `.seg` file contains:
-* **Header**: The header holds essential metadata, such as version number, file type, and unique identifier for each `.seg`. The header also includes a **previous hash** and a **next hash** that links the `.seg` file to others in a sequence, creating a chain that secures the data's integrity.
+== Seigr Protocol & Cryptographic Structure ==
-* **Senary Encoded Data**: The main body of a `.seg` file is the actual data, encoded in senary format. This data could represent various types of information, including text, media, or program data, all stored in a compact form to maximize efficiency.
+The '''Seigr Protocol''' governs ''.seigr'' file behavior through a structured, self-verifiable '''data and execution framework'''.
-* **Hash and Integrity Verification**: Each `.seg` includes a unique SHA-256 hash of its content, ensuring that any tampering or corruption can be immediately identified. This hash is checked by other nodes (Hyphens) in the network to maintain consistency and trustworthiness across the entire chain.
+=== Core Components ===
+* [[Special:MyLanguage/Seigr Metadata|Seigr Metadata]] → Ensures each '''Seigr Cell''' retains distinct, traceable, and interoperable records.
+* [[Special:MyLanguage/Temporal Layering|Temporal Layering]] → Embeds '''time-indexed snapshots''', enabling '''historical reconstruction & rollback'''.
+* [[Special:MyLanguage/Encoder Decoder Module|Encoder/Decoder Module]] → Converts binary data into '''senary (base-6) encoding''' for energy-efficient processing.
-== How .seg Files Work ==
+=== RE-L Licensing Enforcement ===
+Every ''.seigr'' file contains an '''immutable RE-L enforcement layer''', ensuring:
+* '''Contributor Attribution''' → Every '''Seigr Cell''' retains '''RE-L metadata, permissions, and monetization rules'''.
+* '''Multi-Layer Lineage Tracking''' → Changes are '''cryptographically logged''', preventing data corruption or unauthorized alteration.
-The `.seg` file format is based on a process of **encoding, distributing, and verifying** data. Here’s how it works in a nutshell:
+=== Mathematical Structure: Multi-Path Hashing ===
+Each ''.seigr'' file maintains '''multi-dimensional hash linking''', ensuring '''fault tolerance and adaptive retrieval'''.
-. **Encoding**: When a file is added to the Seigr Urcelial-net, it is first compressed and then divided into segments of 539 KB. Each segment is then encoded into senary format, converting the binary data into a compact base-6 form. This encoding is crucial for maintaining the standard `.seg` file size and optimizing storage.
+Let:
+* '''H(c)''' be the hash of a Seigr Cell '''c'''.
+* '''H'(c, t)''' represent the cryptographic lineage of '''c''' at time '''t'''.
-. **Distribution via IPFS**: Once encoded, each `.seg` file is uploaded to IPFS. As a decentralized storage network, IPFS allows each `.seg` file to be accessible by a unique content hash, making it possible for any device on the network to retrieve the data without relying on a central server.
+Multi-path hash linking ensures:
+<math>
+H'(c, t) = H(c) \oplus H(c_{parent}) \oplus H(t)
+</math>
-. **Verification**: When a participant (or Hyphen) retrieves a `.seg` file, they first verify the file’s integrity by checking the cryptographic hash. If the file is part of a larger sequence, the Hyphen will use the hash chain to ensure each `.seg` is in the correct order and has not been altered.
+Where:
+* '''H(c_parent)''' ensures cryptographic inheritance.
+* '''H(t)''' timestamps lineage evolution.
-== Senary Encoding: A New Approach to Compact Data ==
-Senary encoding is an innovative approach that stores data in base-6 rather than the typical base-2 (binary) or base-10 (decimal) systems. In the context of `.seg` files, senary encoding reduces the data’s footprint, making it possible to store more information per file while keeping the structure compact. Each bit of information is represented using one of six unique symbols (0-5), and the network includes an [[encoder/decoder|encoder/decoder]] module to transform data into senary before distribution.
+== Binary-Senary Hybrid Execution & Sensory Tagging ==
-By using senary encoding, Seigr’s network can achieve more efficient data handling and processing, optimizing storage while maintaining compatibility with IPFS.
+The ''.seigr'' format integrates '''Seigr-native processing''' with '''legacy binary execution''', preserving '''data lineage and RE-L governance'''.
-== Distributed Data Management: The Role of Hyphens ==
+=== Hybrid Execution ===
+* [[Special:MyLanguage/Universal Binary-Senary Bridge (UBSB) | UBSB]] allows seamless execution of '''binary processes''' inside Seigr Capsules.
+* '''Binary Payload Encapsulation''' ensures '''non-native data can still inherit Seigr’s ethical and security principles'''.
-In Seigr’s Urcelial-net, participants (known as [[Hyphens|Hyphens]]) play a vital role in managing and sharing `.seg` files across the network. Hyphens are responsible for the following:
+=== Sensory-Based Processing ===
+* '''Sensory Metadata Tagging''' → ''.seigr'' files attach '''sensory-executable metadata''', enabling '''AI-driven retrieval and pattern recognition'''.
+* '''Capsule-Based Sensory Abstraction Layer (CBSAL)''' → Facilitates '''context-aware Seigr-native AI interactions'''.
-* **File Caching and Sharing**: Each Hyphen caches a selection of `.seg` files, ensuring that data is accessible even if some nodes are offline. This distributed approach not only improves data availability but also reduces the load on individual nodes.
-* **Consistency Checks**: Hyphens regularly verify the integrity of the `.seg` files they store by checking the hash chain. If a Hyphen detects a broken or corrupted `.seg` file, it can fetch a replacement from other Hyphens, maintaining a self-healing network that adapts to data inconsistencies.
+== Key Features of .seigr Files ==
-* **Replication and Redundancy**: Hyphens manage the replication factor of each `.seg` file, ensuring there are always enough copies across the network to prevent data loss. This process makes it possible for the Seigr Urcelial-net to be resilient and robust, even with fluctuating network activity.
+The ''.seigr'' format incorporates '''advanced resilience, modularity, and cryptographic security'''.
