The vibe I get is Urbit meets browsable S3 with Kerberos on the side as the XCTBL project. It's half serious half art and uses confusing vocabulary on purpose. (I mean both Urbit and this)

That’s a reasonable read, and I won’t dodge it.

The difference (for me) is scope: I’m not trying to replace an OS or invent a new universe. It’s intentionally narrow—persistent records first, identity second, tools layered on top.

The language is opinionated, but the constraint is real: records shouldn’t depend on accounts by default.

I'm going to miss the days where these signs were obvious.
