The Internet After Search
Not the end of search — the end of search as the only way in.
For twenty-five years, the way to find anything was to search and then read. That loop shaped how information was published: for crawlers, for rankings, for clicks.
As answers, assistants and agents take a growing share of that traffic, the incentive shifts from being findable to being usable — by systems that will summarise, compare, cite and act.
What we are exploring
We are not claiming the Internet of Record is an established standard. It is a thesis we are testing at local scale: business records, place records, relationships, change events and agent access, built as working experiments rather than slideware.
The internet organised information into pages. What if the next internet organises the world into records?
