Material Sovereignty

Material sovereignty extends digital autonomy principles to the physical realm, focusing on sustainable technology lifecycles, repairable hardware, and circular construction practices.

Core Principles

Repairability: Right to fix and modify your own hardware
Longevity: Extended device lifecycles beyond planned obsolescence
Sustainability: Reduced environmental impact of technology
Modularity: Component-level replacement and upgrading
Circularity: Closed-loop material and device lifecycles

Current State and Vision

The Challenge of Material Sovereignty

• Supply chain dependencies
• Manufacturer restrictions
• Planned obsolescence
• Resource limitations
