The Monodrip Concept
A clear explanation of how it works.
What Monodrip Is
Monodrip is a system that gives physical pieces a persistent digital identity.
This identity allows each piece to be acknowledged over time, across different people and moments, without turning it into a tracked product or a social object.
The system is designed to be quiet, intentional, and limited in scope.
It exists to support continuity—not visibility.
What Makes a Piece "Monodrip"
A Monodrip piece is defined by three conditions:
- 1.It is created in limited quantities.
- 2.It carries a unique, persistent identity.
- 3.It can be acknowledged over time.
Nothing more is required.
The identity is not meant to change how the piece looks or how it is worn. It simply allows the piece to exist as itself, over time, without being reset or erased.
Identity, Not Tracking
The identity attached to a Monodrip piece is designed for recognition, not surveillance.
It allows the system to acknowledge that a piece has been encountered.
It does not monitor where it goes or who wears it.
What the identity does:
- •Confirms the piece exists
- •Recognizes intentional interactions
- •Preserves continuity across time
What it does not do:
- •Track location
- •Reveal personal identity
- •Create public profiles or feeds
Nothing happens without deliberate interaction.
The Act of Acknowledgment
A Monodrip piece can be acknowledged through a simple scan.
When this happens:
- •The piece is recognized
- •The interaction is recorded
- •Continuity is preserved
There is no requirement to share, post, or perform.
Acknowledgment is optional and intentional.
If a piece is never scanned, it still exists.
The system does not demand participation.
What Is Stored (and What Is Not)
The system is intentionally minimal.
What is stored:
- •The piece's unique identity
- •Timestamps of acknowledged interactions
What is not stored:
- •Location history
- •Personal behavioral data
- •Movement or usage patterns
Only what is necessary for continuity is kept.
Nothing else.
Ownership, Transfer, and Continuity
A Monodrip piece can move between people.
When it does:
- •The identity stays with the piece
- •Previous interactions remain intact
- •Nothing is erased or overwritten
Continuity belongs to the piece itself, not to a single owner.
Why This Exists
Most physical objects today are designed to be replaced, not remembered.
Monodrip exists to offer an alternative:
- •Fewer pieces, created intentionally
- •Objects that can accumulate meaning
- •Accountability without exposure
This is not about control.
It is about restraint.
Current Scope
Monodrip is intentionally developed in stages.
What exists today:
- •Limited releases
- •Core identity and acknowledgment system
- •Early-stage interaction archive
What comes later:
- •Deeper continuity views
- •Expanded lifecycle context
- •Cross-piece relationships
Nothing is rushed.
The system grows carefully.
Frequently Asked Questions
A system that gives physical pieces a persistent digital identity so they can be acknowledged over time.
No. There is no location tracking and no behavioral monitoring.
The piece is recognized and the interaction is recorded. Nothing else happens.
No. Participation is optional.
Only the piece's identity and timestamps of acknowledged interactions.
Yes. The identity stays with the piece, not the person.
No. The system is intentionally minimal and not designed for speculation or visibility.
No. It is built gradually, with a limited scope at each stage.
If you want to understand Monodrip, this is enough.
If you want to experience it, the story continues with the pieces themselves.
