Totebox archive
A Totebox Archive is the fundamental unit of data storage and sovereignty within the PointSav platform. It operates as a Micro Virtual Machine that provides self-contained services for specific institutional assets.
Immutable Data Layer
Unlike traditional databases that require active processes to access data, a Totebox Archive persists information as immutable flat files (JSONL, GeoParquet, Markdown). This decoupling ensures that the data remains accessible and readable even if the original software engine is no longer running.
Each archive is cryptographically anchored to a WORM ledger, creating a permanent, verifiable Audit trail for all transactions and state changes.
Freely Transferable System
A key architectural requirement of the PointSav system is that data must be an asset, not a liability. A Totebox Archive is designed to be Freely Transferable. It is packaged as a Bootable Disk Image that can be moved between physical servers, private clouds, or bare metal resources without losing its integrity or historical context.
Asset Specialization
Totebox Archives are typically deployed as specialized containers for distinct institutional domains. Common archive types include:
- Totebox Archive - Personnel: Encrypted records and identification.
- Totebox Archive - Corporate: Tax identification, formation documents, and minutes.
- Totebox Archive - Property: Land titles, zoning records, and construction ledgers.
