# 1-Distributed-Systems

**Purpose:** Self-replicating distributed mesh with gossip protocol, consensus, and credential distribution.

**Depends on:** `0-Core-Formalism` (Triumvirate consensus)

## Concepts

- **ENE (Endless Node Edges)** — distributed, self-replicating system
- **Gossip Protocol** — discovery, heartbeat, credential_sync, replicate
- **Shamir-Secret Sharing** — credential fragments across nodes
- **Consensus** — 2/3 majority for credential rotation
