Most software forgets.
Files change without memory.
Media loses identity.
Behavior changes depending on where it runs.
Philosophy
We build systems that make
digital things behave like real things.
Ours doesn't.
Raster & State LLC products preserve what something is, how it changed, and whether it can be trusted to behave the same way again.
This is the philosophy behind Majestic.
The Model
Three principles.
Different domains.
Identity
Things should retain their meaning.
Software should preserve editions, provenance, and the details that distinguish one artifact from another.
Reversibility
Change should not be destructive.
Systems should let people move forward without losing the ability to recover, inspect, and undo.
Determinism
Behavior should be repeatable.
The same inputs should always produce the same result.
Unifying Idea
Not a collection of apps.
A coherent system.
