Government as an operating system, git as its missing changelog. The mirror architecture, influence as a computable tool, a visual grammar for power, and the game layer that lights the map. The diff is the product. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

An open, version-controlled mirror of public power in the United States.
Government is already software: statutes are code, agencies are processes, elections change the maintainers, and a bill is a pull request against the law. What government has never had is a changelog. This repository is that changelog.
The diff is the product. Every file here mirrors the observable public state of a government entity — people, offices, bodies, meetings, organizations, money, issues — as deterministic, sourced, human-readable records. When government changes, the files change, and git makes the change visible, permanent, and inspectable.
- Founding document: Technical Brief — Government as Software
- Format: Markdown + YAML frontmatter (OKF-conformant), validated by JSON Schema
- Data: raw source exports land in
data/first; refinement into structured entity files is itself a visible diff - Substrate for: influence.tools
Three disciplines govern everything here: never overwrite, never rewrite history, always push off-box.
