Continuity
One address people can always use, even when everything else changes. A durable identifier that decouples reachability from any single provider or inbox.
Your last email address. A persistent identity coordinate.
And the first place online that belongs only to you. A contact and permission layer that remains stable when providers, platforms, and accounts change.
Control
Issue and revoke permission to contact you. No inbox hostage-taking. Explicit allow/deny policies for initiating contact, with revocation as a first-class capability.
Coordinates
A stable online address without profiles, feeds, or dopamine traps. A resolvable identity endpoint without a feed-based engagement architecture.

You aren’t a product. You shouldn’t be a dependency.
Stop being routed through one. Stop anchoring identity and reachability to platforms optimized for extraction.
Internet sovereignty,
without joining another platform.
Sovereign reachability,
without platform lock-in.
Because your identity isn’t a service. Because identity should be infrastructure, not an app-owned asset.
The boring parts, answered. The implementation questions, addressed.
Short pages. Clear definitions. No content treadmill. Precise terms, boundaries, and failure modes. No hand-waving.
What IZM is. What it isn’t. Scope and non-goals.
IZM is a stable identity coordinate and contact permission layer. It is not a social network, not an inbox, not a feed, and not a “profile.” IZM provides a persistent, human-addressable identity coordinate plus contact initiation policy. It is intentionally not a social graph, feed, or engagement surface.
What it is
- A stable, human-addressable identity coordinate. A persistent identifier designed for human readability and long-lived resolution.
- A permission layer for who can contact you, and how. A policy layer that governs contact initiation, channels, and revocation.
- A continuity anchor you control, not a platform that owns you. A user-controlled anchor decoupled from any single provider’s inbox or account system.
What it isn’t
- A social network or audience-building tool. A social graph or engagement-driven content platform.
- An inbox replacement UI (optional, not the point). An inbox-centric product surface (UI is optional; the core is the coordinate + policy).
- A feed, a profile, or anything optimized for engagement. A feed/profile architecture optimized for attention capture or growth loops.
Terminology
Clear definitions for how IZM uses words like identity, continuity, and control. Operational definitions for terms used throughout the model and interface contracts.
Data boundaries
What is stored, what is not, and what is designed to be portable. Storage model, retention assumptions, and portability/export surfaces.
Continuity model
What persists if IZM disappears, what breaks, and what you can export. Failure modes: what continues to resolve, what degrades, and what remains exportable.
