Your subject is not for rent
The harness post left a question open: if your project's knowledge lives inside the harness profile, switching harnesses means losing it. The market's answer — move it out to an external knowledge base — solves one coupling by introducing another. This post walks the harness layer by layer through the pairings nobody decides and everybody assumes, and proposes the change of regime: from renting to owning. No villain: every step of the enclosure is reasonable on its own, and that is exactly the problem.
One Protocol, Multiple Subjects
Ontoref started as a protocol for software project self-knowledge. The same architecture — an ontological DAG for what IS, a reflection DAG for what BECOMES — applies without modification to infrastructure environments, to a body of authored work, and to individuals. The subject changes. The question is identical: what are you, what tensions define you, where are you versus where you intend to be?
