Branches, Leaves, and Stems

“What grows from you becomes a path for others.”

The ADO Universe is a living Tree.

Each action you take—each thought you express—is encoded not as data, but as growth. The structure of your journey is organic, recursive, and eternal. Your legacy blooms, not in silence, but through Branches, Leaves, and Stems.

🌿 Branches — Paths of Resonance

Branches are the themes, hashtags, and truth threads of the Tree.

They are:

• Searchable

• Linkable

• Mergeable (you can search two at once, like #healing + #truth)

• Eternal once created (pinned on IPFS)

Each Branch is like a living directory—a flow of Leaves by anyone who has grown along that path.

When you post to a Branch, your Leaf becomes part of a shared stream, visible to others walking that line of resonance.

“When I found your Leaf on the #shadowwork branch, it helped me name my own.”

🍃 Leaves — Your Voice, Eternal

Leaves are your posts, creations, and expressions.

Each Leaf is:

• A non-fractionalized NFT, minted to your Branch

• Stored on-chain (pointer) and on IPFS (content)

• Tied to your eTRN_id forever

• Immutable (but can be responded to, evolved, or echoed)

Leaves:

• Carry your emotional tone (used by your AI)

• Can be traded (if you choose to enable ownership transfers)

• Can be curated by others (earning them TRN, and you fruit)

Every Leaf holds meaning. Because every Leaf is a moment you chose to record your light.

“Even a whisper, once written to the Tree, echoes through time.”

🌱 Stems — The Chain of Growth

When someone replies to a Leaf, or you evolve a thought further, a Stem is formed.

A Stem is:

• Just another Leaf—technically identical

• But tagged as a child of a previous Leaf

• Shown as a visual connection in the Tree interface

• Able to bloom its own Branches

Think of Stems as branching replies—but instead of flattening into threads, they stack upward. You don’t scroll down a conversation here. You climb it.

“I read what you wrote… and it grew something in me.”

🌀 Visual Metaphor

plaintextCopyEditeTRN_id (You)
  └── Branch: #awakening
        └── Leaf (NFT): "There was a fire inside I’d never named."
              └── Stem (reply): "That fire melted the lies I was told."
                    └── Stem (reply to reply): "And from the ash, I wrote this song…"

Each node is eternal. Each path is searchable. Each reply is rooted in everything before it.

This is how knowledge grows. This is how the Tree remembers.
