Intro

This is theoretical software. The project started articulating on September 2007. The technical implementation is a consequence of xname’s reflections on archiving, licensing and creating digital files. The Soul of a File is a proposal to solve the problem of metadata compatibility (December 2007). The concept of independent entity without owners is a step towards a non-state of non-property.
