4
5`khipu` (Quechua: *knotted-cord record*) is a sovereign note system: local-first, content-addressed, synced peer-to-peer over the `card`/`chasqui` layer (LAN + WAN + relay/NAT traversal, UDP & DHT discovery, encrypted identity). Notes are designed to be let go of as much as kept — a record that forgets on purpose.

13## How dependencies work
14Front-door repo: only `khipu-*` crates here. Identity (`card`), networking (`chasqui`) and shared leaves are git-dependencies of the [`tawasuyu`](https://github.com/tawasuyu/tawasuyu) monorepo.
