TNTS: Censorship-Resistant Messaging Without AI Moderation or Tone Scoring

TNTS defines envelope-first node messaging where validity is based on identity, routing, and receipt semantics.

Protocol states

SENT
ROUTED
DELIVERED
OPENED

Envelope minimum

{
  "tnts_version": "0.1",
  "envelope_id": "uuid",
  "sender": {"id": "u1", "node": "n-sender"},
  "recipient": {"id": "u2", "node": "n-recipient"},
  "payload": {"type": "text/plain", "body": "..."},
  "proof": {"sig_alg": "ed25519", "sig": "base64"}
}

Transport Principle

Connection integrity over sentiment heuristics.

Routing Principle

Node path chosen by address resolution and policy, not message tone.

Receipt Principle

Delivery and open events are signed and queryable.
