Living
Technology that improves real life rather than replacing it. Commerce, governance, health, communication and community, running on infrastructure people can actually hold.
ClearSoftware builds and deploys the sovereign digital infrastructure people and institutions run their lives on.
One identity you hold. Your records, your money, your communication, your intelligence. Nothing rented from a platform that can revoke it.
Claim an identity nobody issued to you, open a vault only your keys open, and carry the same credentials into every environment that joins the fabric.

Why ClearSoftware
Digital World defines the protocol. ClearSoftware implements and deploys it. Members own what it holds. The four letters are the test every layer has to pass.
Technology that improves real life rather than replacing it. Commerce, governance, health, communication and community, running on infrastructure people can actually hold.
Trust begins with identity. Individuals, organizations, cities and nations control their own credentials, permissions and governance rights.
Open systems create opportunity. Participate, transact and coordinate freely, without giving up autonomy or privacy to do it.
Ownership has to extend into the digital era. Identity, assets, governance rights and inheritance, stewarded across generations.
Platform
Six layers, bottom to top. Read it downward and it is a supply chain. Read it upward and it is one member: keys on hardware they own, an operating system that does not report home, standards anyone can implement, and a surface with their own community's name on it. The dashed chips are where the same software runs on hardware and platforms from everyone else, because sovereignty that only works on our devices would not be sovereignty.
Whose name is on it
Where a member meets it
What every layer speaks
What runs it
What holds the keys
What everyone agrees on
“The member sits at every level, not at the top. The keys generated on the hardware are the same keys the standards verify, the same keys the operating system protects, and the same keys that unlock a branded environment on the other side of the world.”
Twelve layers
Twelve layers, each independently deployable and each able to run in the jurisdiction that a country, state, university or family chooses. Open the layers to see what ClearSoftware ships at each level.

For people
The LIFE app is where a member meets the stack. Life Online opens the same environment in a browser, with no install and no account issued by anyone else. Identity, vault, payments, health, estate, reputation, credentials, agreements, contacts and communications in a single surface, with every record encrypted to keys the member holds. Web and mobile are built together, never as an afterthought.
Key management with pre-rotation, AES-256-GCM encryption, and sharded backup across witnesses the member chooses.
Birth endorsement, education, licences, marriage, children and asset transfer, issued as ACDC credentials for a lifetime.
DUSD and Digital World Chain settlement, wallet, exchange, and verified payments linked to the agreement they belong to.
FHIR R4 connectors for wearables and labs, with the record held by the member rather than the provider network.
Trust instruments per asset class and the State Plus One steward model, so ownership survives the owner.
Respect scoring built from kept agreements and verified payments, for individuals, organizations and assets.
Wallet addresses across seven networks, with names masked until both parties are connected members.
Matrix messaging, voice and video, plus AT Protocol publishing through ClearCommunity and ClearPublisher.
A browser that signs in with the member's own identity, blocks surveillance by default, and treats every site as a service the member chose rather than a host that chose them.
ClearDI: persistent, portable intelligence that belongs to the member, works only on their private data, and acts only under authority they granted.
Digital IntelligenceHardware
Keys held in software on someone else's device are not sovereign. Clear hardware puts the secure element, the node and the microphone under the member's control, and every piece speaks the same protocol as the apps.
One mainboard, three bodies. The 527 is the solid base unit, the 727 folds once and the 927 folds twice, and every tier runs the same firmware with runtime panel detection. Secure element and identity keys live in the base unit only.
The desk-side companion to the phone. ClearOS Personal on a verified boot chain, the member's vault available offline, and the local model running on device so personal intelligence never leaves the room it was created in.
Audio that answers to the member. Conversations are captured, transcribed and stored inside the member's own vault, consent is recorded as a credential rather than assumed, and the personal agent listens only when the member says so.
The box that makes a household or an institution a real participant in the fabric. Run a witness, a watcher, a verifier, a Matrix homeserver, a community server, a sharded vault, or all of them, in your own building under your own jurisdiction.
ClearOS
A single key hierarchy and protocol connects ClearLIFE, ClearPHONE, ClearBOOK, and ClearNODE. Your identity stays with you across every device connecting Clear hardware, standard devices, and the wider world seamlessly.
ClearPHONE and most phone hardware
An Android Open Source Project derivative with no Google services dependency. The member's keys live in a discrete secure element, credentials present over NFC, and the personal agent runs on the device rather than in a vendor cloud.
ClearBOOK and most laptop and desktop hardware
The desk-side edition. Verified boot, full disk encryption keyed to the member, the LIFE Vault available offline, and enough local compute to run Digital Intelligence without sending a single token off the machine. It installs on most laptop and desktop hardware worldwide and ships in more than 90 languages.
ClearNODE and most server hardware
The edition that makes a household, a campus or a ministry a real participant in the fabric. Pick the roles you want to run, and the same image provisions on the box in your building or on infrastructure you rent.
White label LIFE apps
Utah Life, Hawaiian Life, Aotearoa Life, Mexican Life, Digital Life and Clear Life are the same stack wearing different names. A jurisdiction gets its own app, its own domains, its own nodes and its own governance, and its members still hold one identity that works everywhere else in the fabric. Try it with your own name.
Domains provisioned: utahlife.app utah.exchange utah.education utah.market
Live environments
Every environment below is live, with its own name, its own members and its own domains, all speaking the same protocol. Each one stands on its own address, because a deployment that cannot is a demo.

Trust Fabric
A fabric is not a platform. Each participant runs their own nodes, sets their own rules and holds their own keys, and the protocol is what lets them trust each other anyway. ClearSoftware deploys and operates the pieces at whatever scale a member needs.
Cultural sovereignty, community identity, and regional digital infrastructure.
Digital infrastructure, trusted services, and regional modernization.
Cities, states, communities, and private providers building adoption across the Americas.
Mobile first identity, community growth, and service access. Forming.
Digital rights, identity interoperability, and regulated service adoption. Forming.
Regional unions coordinate governance and interoperability across the environments inside them. A deployment joins the union for its region and inherits its agreements with every other region.
A sovereign digital operating environment: national identity, treasury, credentialing, public intelligence and cross border interoperability that does not route through another nation's cloud.
Regional identity, licensing, benefits, privacy programs and economic coordination. Utah Life is the working reference, aligned to the Office of Data Privacy Privacy Program Framework.
Verifiable student credentials, universal campus payment acceptance, ticketing, housing, alumni identity, and a research data plane the institution actually owns.
Onboard customers without collecting the data you then have to defend. Issue credentials, accept sovereign payments, sign enforceable digital agreements, and run agents inside your own perimeter.
Enrollment, benefits, governance, communications and commerce for a community that wants to run its own infrastructure rather than be a record in someone else's database.
You do not need anyone's permission to start. Claim an identity, open a vault, connect your records, and carry the same keys into every environment that joins the fabric.
Developers
Everything the LIFE apps do is available as an SDK or an API. Ship against the same endpoints ClearSoftware ships against, in the language your team already uses.
Gateway REST, Dwsa RPC, transaction building and signing, with TypeScript types included.
LiveRooms, presence and events for real time messaging in browser and Node applications.
LiveThe same surface for Python services, back office jobs and treasury automation.
PublicRead only REST for verified asset data by code or issuer. No API key required.
Run a witness, watcher, verifier, homeserver or vault from a single downloadable image.
Native coverage for enterprise back ends and for iOS and macOS applications.
Deploy
Claim an identity nobody issued to you, open a vault only your keys open, and take the same credentials into every environment that joins the fabric.
Life OnlineUniversities, businesses and communities get a branded app, their own nodes, their own credential schemas, and members who still hold their own keys.
Design your deploymentStates, countries, kingdoms and regional unions stand up identity, treasury, credentialing and public intelligence inside their own jurisdiction, on infrastructure they operate.
Talk to ClearSoftwareStep 1
Two weeks. We agree which layers you need, where they run, who governs them, and what the member of your environment is called.
Step 2
Domains registered, node images built, the branded app and console generated, credential schemas defined.
Step 3
A bounded group of real members with real credentials and real payments, run long enough to prove the operating model rather than the demo.
Step 4
ClearSoftware runs it, trains your operators, and transfers as much of the operation to you as you want to hold.
Thirty minutes with Michael Proper, founder and chairman.
Times are Mountain Time.
Your request
Pick a day and a time
Confirming opens the live calendar inside this page for that day so you can lock it in. Nothing is sent until you confirm there.
Services directory
The Digital World services directory lists what a member can do today. ClearSoftware builds the reference implementation behind each one and deploys them into every branded environment, so a state, a university or a community gets the whole catalog on day one, running under its own name.
Standards and governance
Every layer runs on a specification somebody else can implement. That is the test. If a member could not leave, take their identifier and their records with them, and still be verified somewhere ClearSoftware does not operate, none of this would be ownership. Where no standard existed, we wrote one and published it.
Identifiers the member generates from their own keys, with the next key committed in advance, so a stolen key does not become a stolen identity and no registry has to be asked for permission.
Credentials that carry their own proof and chain of authority, verifiable without calling the issuer.
The ClearSoftware implementation of self-certifying identity and chained credentials: key generation, rotation, recovery and credential presentation across every Clear surface.
Verifiable legal entity identifiers for organizations and the officers authorized to act for them.
The key event receipt infrastructure behind self-certifying identifiers: witnesses, watchers and pre-rotation, so identity survives key loss and needs no central registry.
The W3C decentralized identifier and verifiable credential data models, so Clear credentials read and present in the formats the wider web already understands.
Secure, private messaging between identifiers, so agents, people and organizations can exchange credentials and requests without a platform in the middle.
Encrypted, erasure coded, local first storage. The member holds the keys, chooses which nodes hold the shards, and can keep every copy inside a chosen jurisdiction.
Payments, wallet and settlement on the Digital World Network, tied to the member's identifier so a payment can prove which agreement it satisfied.
The settlement asset used across Clear environments for member and treasury payments.
The Universal Genealogical Standard. An open, decentralized standard for genealogical records, built on record ownership and consent, semantic interoperability, and a universal genealogical tree that no single archive controls.
The legacy genealogy interchange format, supported for import and export so existing family records come in without being retyped.
Health records that move between providers, wearables and the member's own vault.
Federated messaging, voice and video, running on a homeserver the member or the institution operates.
Portable social identity and publishing, so an audience is not locked to one network.
The open architecture for person and organization controlled intelligence: identity binding, authority semantics, memory portability, model independence, receipts and conformance. ClearDI is its reference implementation.
The specification the whole stack implements, published as an open commons and governed by the Digital World Open Councils.
The agreement layer between environments. It is what lets a credential issued in one jurisdiction verify in another without either side handing over control.
Specifications are published, source is open, and no edition of ClearOS has a vendor recovery path. Governance sits with the Digital World Open Councils rather than with a single company, which is what lets a state or a university adopt the fabric without adopting a dependency on us.
Clear Papers
The specifications, standards and position papers behind everything on this page. Register once and every paper unlocks, including the ones published after you sign up. Register with your own identity if you have one, or with an email if you do not.
The full specification submitted to the State of Utah for approval as a global standard. Identity, storage, finance, agreements, communication, intelligence and governance, for the living, the departed and future generations.
How an independent implementation proves it conforms. The test set that turns reference implementation from a claim into something a procurement officer can check.
The open architecture for person and organization controlled intelligence: identity binding, mandates, receipts, memory portability, model independence and conformance. ClearDI is its reference implementation.
Three parts. An open, decentralized standard for genealogical records built on record ownership and consent, semantic interoperability and a universal tree no archive controls.
How the Utah Life Vault aligns with UGS to protect family identity, lineage and ancestral record integrity across technological eras. Written for lawmakers, archivists and historians.
A plain guide to the Utah Digital Choice Act, the Life Protocol Storage Format, and the step by step path from a platform export to a vault you own.
One registration, every paper, no newsletter unless you ask for one. Your registration is itself a record you own: we issue it as a credential, not a row in a marketing database.
Become a provider
Digital World lists ClearSoftware among its founding reference providers, and the ClearCompanies carry the Authorized mark. That is a starting position, not a moat. The fabric is designed so any organization can build interoperable services against the published requirements, register as a provider, and be found by members anywhere in the network. ClearSoftware is where the reference implementations come from, and where new providers come to get integrated with ClearLIFE, Clear hardware, ClearOS and the rest of the world's services.
Listed in the directory and reachable by members. The first step for any organization offering an interoperable alternative to a centralized service.
Meets the published Digital World requirements for identity, data handling and interoperability, and carries the Authorized mark.
Reviewed and recommended by the councils for members who want a provider they do not have to evaluate themselves.
The Digital World Council meets every Tuesday at 6:00 PM Mountain, open to everyone and recorded for the public archive. Sixteen councils cover technology, finance, health, education, legal, providers, developers and more. This is where the requirements get written.
ClearSoftware is listed by Digital World as a founding reference provider and carries the Authorized mark.
Verify at digitalworld.earthBuild against the published requirements, register your service, and ClearSoftware will help you integrate with ClearID, ClearPAY, the LIFE apps and the environments already live. Recognition comes from the fabric, not from us.
ClearDI
This is the distinction the whole fabric turns on. Artificial intelligence connects to public data and answers to whoever runs the model. Digital Intelligence connects only to the member's private data and answers only to the member. It is not a chatbot, a model vendor or a cloud account. It is the persistent, portable relationship between a person, their identity, their memory, their authority and whichever reasoning engine they choose today. ClearDI is the reference implementation of Digital Intelligence in the Digital World.
Nothing crosses without a mandate going out and a signed receipt coming back.
Persistent intelligence that belongs to the member. Conversation, memory, life context, files, research, planning and personal agents.
Shared intelligence for humans and AI teammates under a charter. A family, a board, a business, a university, an agency or a community.
Durable tasks that survive a restart. Plans, approvals, budgets, artifacts, run history and receipts, independent of any chat session.
Digital Intelligence binds to the member's identity and authority, not to an application login. Root and recovery keys are never exposed to the model.
Memory is the member's, portable and exportable. Switching providers never erases identity, memory, teams or work history.
Local models, cloud models, an organization's approved provider, or the member's own subscription. The reasoning engine is replaceable. The relationship is not.
Models reason. They do not decide their own authority. Every side effect passes a deterministic path, and revocation fails closed.
Every consequential action produces a signed receipt the member can read, and only minimal proof ever touches the chain. Prompts, memory and credentials never do.
Personal memory does not flow into Team. Team data does not flow to model providers. Every memory class has an owner, a sensitivity and a retention policy.
Written once, in ordinary language, so a person, a procurement officer and a machine reading this page all leave with the same meaning.
