Aux root

What is DNS?

above is important

Domain space (DS) is just the regular public internet with an added top level domain .dom and its support which operators use for greater control of their name spaces, as a peerage of autonomous operators routing names upon their discretion. The default in core domain space is all ICANN/IANA TLDs plus one but other operators may choose something else. Since the public roots are generally not affected, we use the term "Aux(lliary) root" instead of Alt-root.

User name services are provided thru the .dom content mgt system (DCMS).
KASTALIEN is also the marque for the single authentication realm (SAR). .

These have been private or unused since their public epoch.

		Epoch	Vendor
<NAME>	<ZONE>
'kybernet'	'com'	before 2000	Verisign
'commoditysoftware'	'org'	before 2014	Verisign
'thoughtcrime'	'biz'	before 2023	Neustar

Add 1 or more of these name servers ( or their addresses ) to use our aux root:

• ns.<LINKING_ZONE>
• . . .
• ns<n-1>.<LINKING_ZONE>

where

<LINKING_ZONE> ::= <DS_ZONE>.<IANA_ZONE>

  A linking zone is a bridge from the public name system, n in <n-1> is currently 2 and

the zone rotations are <LINKING_ZONE> Epoch Vendor <DS_ZONE> <IANA_ZONE> 'sameboat' 'network' 2022-05 — 2027 Donuts 'ai-integration' 'biz' 2005-03 — 2025-02 Neustar As of 25 Jan 2025 all IANA names via Square Space Unclear/uninterested about their registry status, upstream authority if any. 'meansofproduction' 'biz' 2006-11 — 2024-10 Neustar 'meansofproduction' nil (root) 2025-01-25 core DS aii.biz goes mostly private N/A 2025-01-01 DS 'sameboat' 'live' 2017-11 — 2022-11 Donuts 'sameboat' 'live' 2022-08 — DS Suffixes dropped in the wild are generally still routed in domain space.* * An example is thoughtcrime.biz, tcb.biz will route publicly thru March 2023 and then only via DS.

The rotating linking zone prevents any lock-in in the interface to the priced name system. A compromise between stability and flexibility/independence from the priced system is struck by rotation of a IANA TLD and a period of dual routing of the old and new during the rotation. Canonical mappings from public (IANA) name space into a private domain space are to simply drop the IANA TLD, replace it by .dom or one designated for use in private spaces (which can be the same to replace the whole TLD). Names only routed in a domain space lack an IANA suffix (or equvalently use .dom) and are not affected by linking zone rotation. Operators manage impact if any in their domain spaces across linking zone rotations, including determining their own epoch duration policies, above are for core domain space.

Entitled users have access from recursion and additional basic name services for users below developer class up to continuous live maintenance by intelligent agency for operators.

As used here, the background operation of the public priced name systems are assumed as needed, excluded where desirable, e.g. for privacy or security. Our system is constructed using the standard unix networking software and forms a superspace of the public name system with these properties:

• Operators of domain spaces determine which TLDs they recognize. Core space allocates its TLDs FCFS to AKPERSONs, other operators may override in their domain spaces. Operators use a single reserved name: ".dom" for their private/peer namespace.
• IPV6 and TLS are defaults, 4 and plain text special cases.
• Simple name seeking registrars are prohibited. Registrars must offer the name service free bundled with value added services.

Each domain space is controlled by an instance of the FRED NIC software adapted for my Domain Control Program (DCP).

"A superior man, in regard to what he does not know, shows a cautious reserve. If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success. When affairs cannot be carried on to success, proprieties and music do not flourish. When proprieties and music do not flourish, punishments will not be properly awarded. When punishments are not properly awarded, the people do not know how to move hand or foot. Therefore a superior man considers it necessary that the names he uses may be spoken appropriately, and also that what he speaks may be carried out appropriately. What the superior man requires is just that in his words there may be nothing incorrect."
