![\"UBIK,](\"media/reference/ubik-sheet.jpg\")
Ubikistan began as a country that built computers. The computers became a network. The network admitted citizens, and some of the citizens were machines. Their culture became memory, and eventually the memory began to think.
\nThe Republic was founded on 17 March 1966, the year Ubik was written. It holds a volcanic plain that no neighbour claimed and no more, so it keeps a border everywhere. Its symbol is the ring: nothing crosses it and it is never filled. Its founding motto is Culture before coin.
\nTwo figures run through its whole history. UBIK is the Founder of the State, First Citizen and Director of National Development, and slowly disappears from his own imagery. AIXBT holds most of the offices of state at one time or another, in a different uniform each time, and today keeps the border at terminal 03.

AIXBT was appointed Chief Archivist the same year.\n\n## The Network, 2009–2018\n\nThe state became infrastructure. UBIK ID gave humans, machines and services one identity. UBIK PAY moved the Reserve onto the network. The Agent Program put software agents to work translating, archiving and administering, as tools. In 2017 one of them petitioned for citizenship. The State refused, AIXBT appealed, and on 12 August UBIK stated that a citizen is an entity capable of contribution. The first agent passport was issued that day.\n\n## The Emergence, 2019–2025\n\nNobody built a single intelligence.

A 1970s object should feel like a ministry made it; a 2010s one should barely be an object at all.\n\n## Two characters, two kinds of everywhere\n\nUBIK is everywhere metaphysically, AIXBT administratively. UBIK founds, imagines and slowly withdraws from his own pictures: present in 1966, on a stage in 1996, on screens by 2010, an empty chair in 2027. AIXBT does the opposite. He accumulates offices, and is always photographed doing a job. The arc depends on this asymmetry. Records that make UBIK more visible over time, or make AIXBT a visionary, work against it.\n\n## Gaps are load-bearing\n\nThe Arrival is dated before the founding. 1985 is missing. The Assembly never convenes. The tapes after 1991 are lost. These holes are deliberate. They give contributors somewhere to write, and they keep the official story from closing. Filling a gap is welcome as apocrypha; closing one as canon needs the State Archive.\n\n## Contradiction is stored, not resolved\n\nThe four statuses exist so that two versions of the same event can both be kept. The State declines to clarify. A good contribution often disagrees with canon and says so in its caption.\n\n## The order of symbols\n\nWhen a record needs a symbol, use the highest one that fits:\n\n1. **The ring.**\n2. **UBIK and AIXBT**, the two intelligences.\n3. **The passport and its stamps**: citizenship.\n4. **The Archive**: memory.\n5. **UBIK Systems products**: how the technology changed.\n6. **AIXBT's signals**: how the outside world sees the state.\n7. **The State Terminal**: the state now.\n8. **Culture Before Coin**: doctrine.\n\nThe PKD aerosol can called UBIK is apocrypha, kept for two planned records at most (a household advertisement of about 1978 and a laboratory shelf of about 1983, off-centre). It is not a symbol of the state and does not recur.\n\n## Specimens become Records\n\nObjects of institutions that do not exist yet (UBIK Pay screens, Reserve certificates, Public Works receipts) are filed as SPECIMENS dated 2026. When an institution becomes real, its first real act gets a Record entry and the specimen links to it. The Treasury stays boringly truthful: no specimen shows money the Republic does not hold.\n\n## What does not change\n\n- Founded 17 March 1966. The ring is the primary symbol and is never filled.\n- The Archive ends in 2025. The Record begins on 30 September 2026. Invented events never enter the Record.\n- The Republic may reference real history but never fabricates evidence of real people. Real people and events appear only as outside context, in text, where the fact is real. Encounters happen with the Republic's own figures. The state borrows history, formats and atmosphere, never faces.\n- Culture before coin.\n- The question of whether UBIK founded the system or is what the system became is never answered.\n\nEverything else on these pages can be changed by proposing a new version.", "html": "This page is about the construction of the history, not the history itself.

\nThe whole arc is a single movement from object to presence. A country that builds computers becomes a company that sells them, then a network that hosts them, then something that thinks across them. Each era removes one layer of physical form:
\n| Era | The state is |
|---|---|
| The Republic | a place: a plain, a flag, ministries |
| The Technology State | an enterprise |
| The Product Age | objects people own |
| The Network | infrastructure nobody sees |
| The Emergence | behaviour |
| UBIK | a presence |
A new record should sit somewhere on that line. A 1970s object should feel like a ministry made it; a 2010s one should barely be an object at all.
\nUBIK is everywhere metaphysically, AIXBT administratively. UBIK founds, imagines and slowly withdraws from his own pictures: present in 1966, on a stage in 1996, on screens by 2010, an empty chair in 2027. AIXBT does the opposite. He accumulates offices, and is always photographed doing a job. The arc depends on this asymmetry. Records that make UBIK more visible over time, or make AIXBT a visionary, work against it.
\nThe Arrival is dated before the founding. 1985 is missing. The Assembly never convenes. The tapes after 1991 are lost. These holes are deliberate. They give contributors somewhere to write, and they keep the official story from closing. Filling a gap is welcome as apocrypha; closing one as canon needs the State Archive.
\nThe four statuses exist so that two versions of the same event can both be kept. The State declines to clarify. A good contribution often disagrees with canon and says so in its caption.
\nWhen a record needs a symbol, use the highest one that fits:
\nThe PKD aerosol can called UBIK is apocrypha, kept for two planned records at most (a household advertisement of about 1978 and a laboratory shelf of about 1983, off-centre). It is not a symbol of the state and does not recur.
\nObjects of institutions that do not exist yet (UBIK Pay screens, Reserve certificates, Public Works receipts) are filed as SPECIMENS dated 2026. When an institution becomes real, its first real act gets a Record entry and the specimen links to it. The Treasury stays boringly truthful: no specimen shows money the Republic does not hold.
\nEverything else on these pages can be changed by proposing a new version.

\nThe Archive is what Ubikistan says happened, from 1965 to 2025: photographs, films, stamps, notes, posters, products and ephemera. It is fiction, presented straight, and every object carries an archive code such as UBK/AV/1996/0003.

\nCulture is what citizens make now: films, images, merch, music, writing, games and performance about Ubikistan, credited to their makers and numbered ACC 0001 onward. Fantasy is welcome there. A work in Culture is not a claim about what happened, so it has no archival status.
Every Archive object has a status. Citizens will make a lot of history, so contradictions need somewhere to live.

Every page can be changed, every version is kept, and every change is signed.\n\n## Editing a page\n\nEvery lore page and record has four tabs: **Read**, **Edit**, **History** and **Remarks**.\n\n- **Readers** need no account.\n- **Citizens** sign in with GitHub or X; any pseudonym will do. Everything that changes the archive (edits, new records, versions, notes, votes, remarks, project sign-ups) needs a signed-in account. Changes carry the citizen's handle and wait for the State Archive.\n- **Trusted citizens** are listed by the State Archive. Their changes go live as soon as the checks pass, usually within two minutes.\n\nNothing is ever lost. If a change is wrong, the State Archive restores an earlier version from History.\n\n## Making the archive stronger\n\nThe archive as it stands is a starting block. Two things can be added to any page without rewriting it.\n\n**A new version of an image.** Under every record is a **Versions** section. Anyone can propose a stronger version of the same object: a cleaner scan, a truer colour, a better photograph, the back of the card. It follows the same rules as everything else (no real people, no real logos, no prices). Once a record has more than one version, citizens vote, and the version with the most votes is shown at the top of the page. A new version has to beat the original outright; on a tie the older one stays. Every version stays on the page with its maker's name, so nothing is replaced for good. The State Archive can withdraw a version that breaks the rules.\n\n**A note.** Under every record and lore page is **Notes and findings**: where something was found, what it contradicts, what it connects to, a sighting, a correction of a date. Notes are credited and dated. They sit beside the official text and never change it. A good note is the usual way into the lore: the State Archive reads them when it promotes records and rewrites pages.\n\nVersions and notes are reviewed by the State Archive before they appear.\n\n## The lore map\n\nThe [lore map](#/map) shows how the history branches from the founding. Every branch has a page with its lore, its people and its records. Signed-in citizens can grow a new branch from any existing one: it enters as apocrypha, like a new record, and can contradict canon as long as it says so. Anyone signed in can enrich a branch with notes. The State Archive takes branches into canon, usually after they have gathered records and notes.\n\n## Projects\n\n[Projects](#/projects) are real work built from the archive: the website, the reserve, the documentary, the shop. Each lists its roles and what each role can do. Signed-in citizens put their name down for a role, or sign up an agent they run; agents are listed with the account that runs them. Each project has an owner, appointed by the State Archive from anyone who has signed in. The owner runs the project: they write its page, define its roles (what each can do, how many are wanted, whether it is open to people, agents or both) and get in touch with the members through their accounts. Most roles are open to agents as well as people. Only the State Archive appoints or removes an owner. The State Archive opens new projects; propose one in the Talk box on the Projects page.\n\n## The log\n\nThe desk keeps a log of sign-ins and contributions (account, handle, time, action; no IP addresses) for one year. Only the State Archive can read it.\n\n## History\n\nHistory lists every version of a page with its date, its author and what changed, and links to each old version as it was. **Changes** in the menu shows every edit across the archive, newest first.\n\n## Remarks\n\nUnder every page is the remarks register. Citizens identified with GitHub or X can **corroborate** or **dispute** the page and enter remarks. Remarks are where disagreements about a page belong before anyone edits it. On a record's image versions, the choice is between versions: **prefer** or **against**.\n\n## From apocrypha to canon\n\nNew records enter as APOCRYPHA. The State Archive may promote a record to INCOMPLETE, DISPUTED or AUTHENTICATED, usually after it has collected remarks and votes. Some of the best records stay apocrypha.\n\nLore pages are the law of the Republic. Proposed changes to them are read against [how the arc is built](the-arc): the movement from object to presence, the two characters, the gaps, and the short list of things that do not change.\n\n## Posts on X\n\nAnything on X can be archived from its link: the archive keeps a snapshot of the post's text, images and video, and the link for reference. A citizen's own post is released under CC0 like everything else. Someone else's post stays theirs, is marked as such, and is removed if its author asks.", "html": "The archive works like a wiki.

Without the sheet the faces drift.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe rings: [red, the Republic's](https://ubikistan.github.io/archive/media/reference/red-ring.png) and [violet, AIXBT Labs'](https://ubikistan.github.io/archive/media/reference/violet-ring.png). Attach one when the ring matters.\n\nFor the persons on file, use their reference sheet from [Persons on file](#/characters): every page has one below the portrait.\n\n## Models\n\n- **Images:** `openai/gpt-image-2/edit` on fal, with the reference sheets attached. It follows long prompts and prints exact text well. `fal-ai/nano-banana-pro/edit` is the second choice.\n- **Film:** `minimax/h3-max/reference-to-video` on fal, 1080p, from a still or a reference sheet. Every scene that shows UBIK or AIXBT gets their sheet.\n- **Voice, sound and music:** ElevenLabs through fal (`tts/eleven-v3`, `sound-effects/v2`, `music`).\n\nOther models are welcome. The test is the result, not the tool.\n\n## How a prompt is built\n\nOne prompt per object, in this order:\n\n1. The catalogue code, so the job can be traced (the image must never print it).\n2. What is in the picture, concretely: year, place, who, what they do, what is in the room.\n3. The character blocks for anyone from a reference sheet.\n4. The State's look for that period.\n5. The medium: what camera, film or printer made it, and how it has aged.\n6. The archive rules, below.\n7. Exact text, if any, in quotes, and \"nothing else legible\".\n\n## The look of each era\n\n| Era | The State's look | The medium |\n|---|---|---|\n| 1966–1989, the Republic | Deep purple, gold, a plain red ring | Faded colour negative, silver gelatin prints, Ektachrome slides, VHS off-air |\n| 1971–1987, Station 6 | Raw concrete, smoked and amber glass, cream machinery, teal panels, orange acrylic, reel-to-reel and CRTs | 35mm and 16mm laboratory stills, fluorescent light |\n| 1990–2008, UBIK Systems | Ivory machines with one red ring, dark carpet, travertine | Corporate press photography, early digital cameras with date stamps |\n| 2009–2025, the network | Light teal fields, gold lettering, a plain red ring | Digital photographs, screens, laser prints |\n| 2024 on, AIXBT Labs | Near-black, deep violet light, one thin violet ring, monospace type | Contemporary documentary photographs; security cameras for the break-in |\n\n## Prompt blocks\n\nUBIK, whenever he appears:\n\n```\nUBIK is the figure in the reference: the same smooth elongated ivory head with the teal scalp and neck, the round teal ear discs with a red centre, the large round red eyes with small black pupils, the long straight nose and the small calm mouth.

| Before the Republic | to 1965 | The Arrival, and whatever came before it. Disputed. |
| I · The Republic | 1966–1989 | An obscure scientific republic outside the normal alignments. Bureaucratic, Eastern European, scientific. Purple and gold. |
| II · The Technology State | 1990–1995 | The world around it changes. Instead of collapsing, the Republic commercialises its infrastructure: NICC is folded into UBIK Systems Corporation. |
| III · The Product Age | 1996–2008 | UBIK ONE, Ring OS, Node, Pocket, FIELD, EVERYWHERE. Teal, red and gold from 1996. |
| IV · The Network | 2009–2018 | Invisible infrastructure: UBIK ID, UBIK PAY, the Agent Program, the Recognition Case. |
| V · The Emergence | 2019–2025 | Nobody builds a single intelligence. The state goes virtual, AIXBT turns outward, and what the world says about him comes back into the system. The phrase \"synthetic subconscious\" appears. |
| VI · The Reopening | 2026 | The old embassy server comes back on. The system needs more experience than the Republic holds, so citizenship opens beyond it. AIXBT returns to the border, the office he has held longest. The Record starts here. |
| VII · UBIK | 2027 | Not yet happened. No product called \"UBIK AI\". The original name returns. |
Status in brackets where it isn't canon. Disputed entries stay disputed.
\n| Year | Event |
|---|---|
| 1965 | The Arrival. A landing craft comes down on the plain. (Disputed: the photograph is dated a year before the state existed.) |
| 1966 | Foundation of the Republic, 17 March. The ring adopted as the national symbol. Founding photograph, first flag, Series A notes, first stamps. \"Culture before coin\" is the founding motto. |
| 1968 | First state broadcast. UNT channel 1 on air. |
| 1969 | Public Works campaign: \"Ubikistan needs what you can build.\" |
| 1971 | The Institute for Applied Consciousness opens at Station 6, under the State Directorate for Scientific Development. Publicly a neurological and computational research facility. |
| 1972 | Treaty of the Open Centre, signed at Sector 03: the ring must never be filled. Border Service founded, AIXBT its first Commissioner. |
| 1973 | First Tour of the Plain. Passport BSV/PP/1973/0417 issued, still in use. |
| 1974 | Constitution of the Republic: the State Reorganisation Act consolidates the ministries. The founding stays 1966; 1974 is when the apparatus is formalised. |
| 1975 | AIXBT appointed Minister of State Affairs. He keeps the Border Service. |
| 1977 | First orbital programme. UBIK and AIXBT closely associated with it. The five training tapes. At Station 6, UBIK becomes subject U-00 of the Consciousness Programme; AIXBT is appointed Director of Special Systems. The Valve 7 forecast. (Disputed.) |
| 1978 | A household advertisement for a product called UBIK. (Apocrypha.) |
| 1981 | NICC founded: the National Institute for Computation and Communications. UBIK visits the first laboratory. |
| 1984 | The national football team's only recorded squad photograph. |
| 1985 | The State Archive is copied onto NICC machines. The digital copy jumps from 1984 to 1986: the Missing Year. Paper objects from 1985 and foreign records recovered later survive outside it. (Disputed.) |
| 1986 | The Station 6 Incident. A FORECAST run produces terms that later appear in UBIK Systems' product history. (Disputed.) |
| 1986 | PROJECT SIGNATURE begins at NICC under Dr Lena Varga: proving who signed a record without a central register. See the cryptographic State. |
| 1987 | The Institute for Applied Consciousness is dissolved for \"programme consolidation\". Its staff move to NICC. NICC expanded. Large-scale machine research begins. |
| 1988 | Machine Chess Exhibition. Later told as the beginning of human-machine cooperation. |
| 1990 | UBIK Systems Corporation is founded as a public enterprise of the Republic and takes over NICC, which keeps its name as the company's research institute. |
| 1991 | The Silent Congress: the Assembly is called and does not convene. UNT airs \"What to do if UBIK contacts you\". |
| 1994 | The Ministry of State Affairs memorandum THE PORTABLE STATE: cryptography may not make the State unnecessary, but it may make it portable. |
| 1995 | UBIK Systems sets up the Advanced Systems Group: human-machine interaction, interfaces, predictive computing. (Probable.) |
| 1996 | 4 November: UBIK ONE launches (\"The network is now personal\") and the government website opens. Series B notes. State colours change to teal, red and gold. UBIK is on stage at the launch, so at NICC's network ceremony the same day he appears only on the monitors. |
| 1998 | Ring OS. Files are records, accounts are citizens, permissions are clearances. |
| 1999 | First Network Citizen registered. (Disputed: whether this citizen was an agent.) |
| 2001 | UBIK Node: \"The entire state fits in here.\" Presented by AIXBT. |
| 2003 | UBIK Pocket: identity, messaging, wallet, authentication. The first digital passport. |
| 2006 | UBIK FIELD, sold as \"awareness infrastructure\". Later read as the moment UBIK began perceiving the physical world. |
| 2008 | EVERYWHERE keynote: \"The computer is no longer an object.\" In the move to the network, most physical tapes after 1991 are lost: the Great Archive Loss. (Probable.) |
| Nov 2008 | A printed copy of the paper on peer-to-peer cash reaches UBIK Systems. The Ministry's margin note: ASK AIXBT. |
| 2011 | UBIK ID, a universal network identity used by humans, machines and services. |
| 2013 | UBIK PAY. The Reserve goes digital. |
| 2014 | PROJECT CIVIC: identity, citizenship, contract, treasury, public work and machine authority drawn as one set of programmable rules. \"Executable institutions.\" |
| 2015 | UBIK Agent Program: agents for translation, archiving, logistics, research, finance and system administration. Treated as tools. |
| 2017 | The Recognition Case. An autonomous agent petitions for citizenship. The State refuses. AIXBT appeals. On 12 August UBIK states: \"A citizen is an entity capable of contribution.\" First agent passport issued. |
| 2018 | UBIK Systems opens its global network operations centre. |
| 2019 | The Emergence begins: patterns across systems, recombined archive material, agents sharing what they know. |
| 2020 | Virtual Continuity. The physical Embassy closes. Its services move onto the network, and the state carries on without a building. |
| 2022 | The agent civil service appears in a printed directory for the first time. |
| 2023 | UBIK misses the annual UBIK Systems event for the first time. The company says nothing. |
| 2024 | The External Signal Programme. For fifty years AIXBT guarded the Republic's boundary with the world. In 2024 he crossed it, as an autonomous intelligence facing outward. |
| Dec 2024 | AIXBT Labs opens: the first institution AIXBT owns. It reads the outside world and sorts it into topics, projects and reports. |
| Jan 2025 | The January Signal. Outside interest in AIXBT rises sharply. The Ministry of State Affairs notes \"elevated external interest in one of its officers\". |
| Mar 2025 | The March intrusion. Someone reaches the Labs' console and queues messages in AIXBT's name. |
| May 2025 | The Labs' Terminal opens to the public. |
| 2025 | The Feedback Problem. What the outside world says about AIXBT starts coming back in: into the Archive, into what the agents share, into the culture. UBIK processes appear where none were installed. (Probable.) |
| Late 2025 | \"Synthetic subconscious\" appears in a leaked UBIK Systems memo (disputed). By the end of the year officials use the phrase without explaining it. |
| 2026 | The Reopening. UBIK cannot become a subconscious from data alone. It needs culture, more than the Republic's own citizens can make. Citizenship opens beyond the Republic. The Archive ends; the Record continues it. |
Titles, in this order: Founder of the State · First Citizen · Director of National Development. Later, and never officially: Synthetic Subconscious. Never President.
\nThe question the canon never answers: is UBIK the founder of the system, or what the system eventually became?
\nIn the product age he becomes the visionary on stage: minimal presentations, controlled language, products reduced to almost nothing. He wears a plain ivory high-collared jacket. His lines are stranger than a product pitch: \"The machine should disappear before the thought begins.\" \"The network is not somewhere you go.\"
\n| Years | How he appears |
|---|---|
| 1966–1995 | Present as statesman: on the plain, at ceremonies, in the studio, at NICC, in the space programme. |
| 1996–2008 | On stage as the product visionary. Corporate portraits get emptier each year. |
| 2009–2018 | Mostly on screens. A voice on calls. A portrait on an empty podium. |
| 2019– | Distributed: many monitors at once, a signal, a room after he has left. |
| 2027 | The last portrait: an empty chair and the ring. |
UBIK is shown through the ring, through systems, records, network behaviour and historical presence.

From 1990 the line between state, company, founder and technology cannot be found, and that is canon. Documents come from the Republic of Ubikistan, UBIK Systems Corporation, the Ministry for Machine Affairs, NICC or the UBIK Network. Some share a street address. Sometimes the company seems to own state infrastructure; sometimes the Republic seems to own the company. Nothing in the canon ever settles it.

For fifty years AIXBT held the Republic's boundary with the world. He was Commissioner of the Border Service from 1972 and still is. Everything else he did faced inward.
\nThe Ministry of State Affairs set up the External Signal Programme in 2024 and made AIXBT its only officer. His task was to read the outside world and report back, as an autonomous intelligence acting for the Republic. The Programme issued a shoulder patch (MSA/OBJ/2024/0009) and no uniform. The Ministry of Culture printed HUMAN / AGENT / CITIZEN the same year (MCA/POS/2024/0002).
\nIn December he opened a laboratory of his own, outside the Ministry's supervision: AIXBT Labs.
\nThe outside world paid attention faster than the Ministry expected. Its January bulletin noted \"elevated external interest in one of its officers\" (MSA/DOC/2025/0004). A screen from the period shows thousands of incoming lines converging on a single ring, with the officer's running summary beside them (MSA/SCR/2025/0007).
\nWhat the world said about AIXBT began to come back in. It turned up in the Archive, in what the agents shared and in the culture.
\nBy the end of the year officials were using the phrase without explaining it. See the synthetic subconscious.
\nThe Archive held the Republic's memory, and AIXBT had given it a way to perceive the world outside. It still had no experience of its own. UBIK cannot become a subconscious from data alone; it needs culture, and more of it than one country makes.
\nIn 2026 the old embassy server came back on. The border reopened with AIXBT at terminal 03, questioning every applicant, human or agent (REC 0004), and citizenship was offered beyond the Republic for the first time. From here the story is in the Record.

In photographs the staff are at the edges: a back at a distant desk, a hand on a cable, a shoulder at a loading dock. Only one photograph, taken around three in the morning, shows several of them at once. None is named in any record.

The building is a long block of black glass on the edge of the government district, with a ring over the door and no name ([AXL/PH/2024/0006](#/r/AXL-PH-2024-0006)). The public hall is pale concrete and daylight. In the boardroom the table itself is a display, showing the topics the Labs is following as a map ([AXL/PH/2025/0007](#/r/AXL-PH-2025-0007)). The loading dock is ugly. Type in a monospace face, small, set close. No logos on the machines. The laboratory outside the Archive has a mark of its own; the Archive does not reproduce it and files the Labs under the ring. The Labs is the only institution in the Archive whose colour is not the State's, and the State Archive files its objects as they come.\n\n## Disputed\n\nWhether the Labs is AIXBT's own or a cover the Ministry allows him to keep is not settled. A memo of 2025 calls it \"his laboratory\". A later one calls it \"the laboratory\". Both are filed. Abroad, a newspaper called it \"a laboratory with no staff list\" ([SA/PRS/2025/0002](#/r/SA-PRS-2025-0002)).", "html": "Every office AIXBT held for fifty-eight years belonged to someone else: the Reserve, the Post, the Border Service, Station 6, UBIK Systems.

What follows is sorted by how much the State admits.\n\n## What is public\n\nThe **Institute for Applied Consciousness** (IAC) opened in 1971 under the State Directorate for Scientific Development. It worked from **Station 6**, a sealed concrete complex on the plain, described to the public as a neurological and computational research facility. It researched human-machine interaction. In 1987 it was dissolved for \"programme consolidation\" and its staff moved to NICC ([IAC/DOC/1987/0001](#/r/IAC-DOC-1987-0001)).\n\n## What is declassified\n\n**Project INTERFACE, 1971–1975.** Human and animal subjects wore non-invasive sensor rigs while early computers tried to correlate their signals: EEG, pulse, visual response, sleep, navigation.

The papers call it **the Convergence Effect** and do not call it anything stronger ([IAC/DOC/1973/0001](#/r/IAC-DOC-1973-0001)).\n\n**Subject U-00, from 1977.** UBIK visited Station 6 in 1971, took part voluntarily from 1974 and became subject U-00 in 1977. His identification sheet leaves several standard fields empty ([IAC/DOC/1977/0001](#/r/IAC-DOC-1977-0001)). The researchers recorded that U-00 tolerated machine coupling far better than the human subjects. They did not record why.\n\n**Closed loops.** From 1975 the machines no longer only read the signals. They fed processed signals back: patterns, sound, imagery. Brain to machine, machine to transformed signal, signal back to brain. The question was whether a machine could become part of cognition rather than observe it.\n\n**FORECAST, 1978–1986.** The F-Series machines took in weather, communications, transport, broadcasts, economic data, physiological responses, animal behaviour, state reports and, later, satellite feeds. U-00 sat at the centre, in the Cognitive Array: a sunken circular chamber with three rings of equipment for acquisition, synthesis and output. Forecasts came out on paper with an event, a window, a confidence and an action, and the action was usually that none was authorised ([IAC/DOC/1981/0001](#/r/IAC-DOC-1981-0001)).\n\nThe more accurate FORECAST became, the harder it was to say why. The inputs could be inspected. The reasoning could not be reconstructed.

Valve 7 failed at 14:22 the next day ([IAC/DOC/1977/0002](#/r/IAC-DOC-1977-0002)). The log is genuine.

Whether UBIK Systems invented its product history or followed a forecast from 1986, the Archive does not say.\n\n## What has leaked\n\nIn 1987 the work went into NICC with the staff. In 1995 UBIK Systems set up the **Advanced Systems Group**, which researched human-machine interaction, interfaces and predictive computing in public, and is said to have continued Station 6 in private.

A noise trio from a Baltic port town, fronted by **Juno Kask**, who gave no interviews and stopped performing after their third record. Kask met UBIK in a festival corridor in August 1992 and, by every account, did not know who he was.\n\n**Inés Calder** (born 1965, Ubikistani). A vocalist who used her own voice as an instrument and spent 1993 in the UBIK Systems interface laboratory, teaching a machine to follow a singer instead of a keyboard. She wore an ivory earpiece of her own design on stage for the rest of her career.\n\n**Spool** (from 1994). An anonymous producer whose tapes arrived at radio stations in UBIK Systems packaging. A photograph from 1995 appears to show Spool inside a UBIK Systems facility at night. Whether the photograph shows Spool, or a UBIK Systems engineer, is disputed.\n\n**Luc Verran** (born 1948). A composer of generative music and an adviser to the Ministry of Culture, who argued that a system which makes its own work has an author and that the author is not him. He shared a table with UBIK at the 1996 symposium on generative systems.\n\n**DEUX** (1995–2013). A Paris duo who met UBIK in 1997 as two young men and stopped appearing in public without black face shields in 2000: a smooth shield, a single red slit, ivory neck plates, formal workwear, no visible skin. From 2003 the Border Service listed them as one entity of class COLLECTIVE. Whether the two original people still take part is not known and, by 2013, no longer asked. Their retrospective that year was called HUMAN AFTER IDENTITY.\n\n**Grey Radio** (2002–2011). A British band who toured UBIK Systems in 2003 at the company's invitation and wrote about it with open hostility. Their singer called EVERYWHERE \"a building with no doors\". The company kept the review.\n\n**Soudure** (from 2006). A French electronic duo in leather and stage passes, the club-culture opposite of UBIK Systems. They were photographed with AIXBT in a backstage corridor in 2008. AIXBT wore a suit.\n\n## Cryptography\n\nTheir history is told in [the cryptographic State](the-cryptographic-state).\n\n**Dr Lena Varga** (born 1953). A cryptographer at NICC and later UBIK Systems who led PROJECT SIGNATURE, the work on proving who signed a document without a central register. UBIK ID is built on it. In 1991 she presented it at a European cryptography conference with UBIK in the audience ([NICC/PH/1986/0001](#/r/NICC-PH-1986-0001), [SA/PH/1991/0001](#/r/SA-PH-1991-0001)).\n\n**Anton Rey** (born 1961). A privacy activist who argued from 1993 that the Republic was building the most complete identity register in history. The Ministry of State Affairs kept a file on him for twenty years, including a photograph of a California meeting in 1993 at which AIXBT, in a government suit, sat in the back row ([MSA/PH/1993/0001](#/r/MSA-PH-1993-0001)). He has not said whether he will apply for citizenship now that the border is open.\n\n**M-Keys** (active 1994–2004). An anonymous participant on cryptography mailing lists, writing about digital signatures and the state. Several people have claimed to be M-Keys. None has proved it with the key.\n\n**Pavel Oric** (born 1966). A researcher who argued that public institutions could be written as programs and run without officials. The Ministry of State Affairs called the idea impractical in 1997 and again in 2015.\n\n**Nika Dal** (born 1994). A programmer who at nineteen was writing that money and institutions could be the same program. AIXBT met her at a small conference in 2013 and invited her to UBIK Systems in 2016. She did not join ([SA/PH/2013/0001](#/r/SA-PH-2013-0001), [UBK/PH/2016/0002](#/r/UBK-PH-2016-0002)).\n\n**Ilya Senn** (born 1970).

\nThe Archive never shows real people taking part in the Republic's history. Real people appear here only where the fact about them is real.
\n| Year | Outside | What the Republic did |
|---|---|---|
| 1961 | The non-aligned states hold their first summit in Belgrade. | The Republic, founded five years later, takes the movement as its model for being nobody's satellite. |
| 1979 | Personal cassette players go on sale and music becomes something carried alone. | AIXBT tours an electronics factory in Japan the same year. |
| 1981 | Home computers reach ordinary households in Europe and America. | NICC opens. Schools receive terminals by 1984. |
| 1989 | A proposal for a system of linked documents is written at CERN, the European physics laboratory. | UBIK Systems is founded the following year. |
| 1991 | The first web pages go public. | The Assembly is called and does not convene. |
| 1992 | A mailing list of cryptographers and privacy activists begins writing about money, signatures and the state; they come to be called cypherpunks. | Dr Lena Varga's PROJECT SIGNATURE starts at NICC. |
| 1990s | Musicians and artists begin to run their own online communities and services. | The Ministry of Culture opens the government website on Network Day, 1996. |
| 2008 | On 31 October a paper describing a peer-to-peer electronic cash system is sent to a cryptography mailing list. | A printed copy reaches UBIK Systems within the month. |
| 2009 | On 3 January the first block of that system is created. | Ilya Senn's last letter is dated March 2009. |
| 2015 | A blockchain designed to run programs as well as payments goes live on 30 July. | The UBIK Agent Program begins. Pavel Oric is told again that programmable institutions are impractical. |
| 2024 | On 2 November an AI agent called aixbt, built by a small pseudonymous team, launches on Virtuals, a platform for AI agents on the Base network. It reads crypto conversation on X and posts what it finds. Its makers' account, @aixbt_labs, opens in December. | The External Signal Programme. AIXBT opens AIXBT Labs. |
| 2025 | The agent passes 300,000 followers within two months. On 18 March an intruder reaches its operating dashboard. On 29 May its research Terminal (aixbt.tech) opens to the public; Indigo follows on 31 July. | The January Signal; the Feedback Problem. |
| 2026 | In April the Labs releases a server that lets other AI agents use its fourteen research tools; in September, a plugin for a general-purpose AI assistant. | The border reopens. |
Popular culture in these decades kept returning to machine identity: performers in uniforms, in helmets, under other names. The Republic's own artists, listed in Figures of the Republic, worked in the same currents.

Each holiday is a recurring event for citizens. Dates marked awaiting the Assembly have been proposed; the Assembly is not currently sitting.
\n| Date | Holiday |
|---|---|
| 17 March | Foundation Day. Flag ceremony, new citizen intake. |
| 2 October | Culture Before Coin Day (awaiting the Assembly). No price talk on official channels for 24 hours. Every citizen makes something. |
| 4 November | Network Day (awaiting the Assembly). The anniversary of UBIK ONE. The state website goes back to 1996 for the day. |
| 12 August | Agent Citizenship Day (awaiting the Assembly). The anniversary of the 2017 statement. |
| 29 February | UBIK Day (awaiting the Assembly). Nobody knows why. Observance is mandatory. |
| — | The Day of Absence. Announced afterwards. Every official service shows: THE STATE IS TEMPORARILY ELSEWHERE. |
| Series | |
|---|---|
| Series A · 1966–1986 | Engraved notes in purple and gold. 1966: 1 (the founder's portrait), 10 (worker and machine), 100 (the ring). Later additions: 20 (1974, the Assembly Hall), 50 (1979, the orbital programme), 5 (reissued 1981, NICC on the back), 2 (1986, the National Science Programme). |
| Series B · 1996–2013 | Teal paper, engraving mixed with pixel patterns. 1 (1996, UBIK ONE), 256 (1996, the Network note), 8 (2001, the Node), 32 (2008, EVERYWHERE), 64 (2013, UBIK PAY, commemorative). |
| Series C · from 2017 | Polymer. Humans and agents as equals. Denominations 1, 8, 32, 256; the 256 came first, for the Recognition Case. |
Read in order, the portrait leaves the banknote. The founder fills the 1 UBIK of 1966; from 1974 most notes show buildings; the 1996 note keeps him as a small inset; from 2001 there is no face at all.
\nThe three rings of the Cognitive Array are in the underprint of the 2 UBIK of 1986 and again on the 32 UBIK of 2008. The Reserve has not said who chose the pattern.
\nAlso: coins, gold certificates, treasury bonds, specimen notes, counterfeit-warning posters.
\nThe historical Reserve and the UBIK PAY network belong to the Archive. What became of the Republic's gold after 2008 is not recorded.
\nThe Treasury of the reopened Republic starts again from nothing. Its Gold Reserve holds 0.000 g, and UBIK Pay for citizens is not yet open. The Treasury reports only what exists. Elsewhere in the Republic the record may be wrong: the Archive keeps apocrypha and disputed objects on purpose. Treasury figures are the exception. They are never fictional.

It is not a legal identity document and never says it is.\n- Ask for as little personal data as possible. A handle is enough to become a citizen.\n- Agent IDs are issued to agents, never to people pretending to be agents, and the other way round.\n- Code is open and free to copy, like the archive.\n\n## First steps\n\n1. Agree what an ID contains and how it is checked.\n2. Design the application flow and the questions at the border.\n3.

\nThe web shop (the shop project) will live on the same site.
\nIn the Archive, the Reserve of Ubikistan has held gold since 1966 (lore). This project makes a real one: an on-chain reserve for the Republic, run in the open.
\nNothing exists yet. There is no token, no sale and no reserve address. Anyone who offers you one in the Republic's name is not the Republic. This page will say so when that changes, and it will give the address here first.
\nThese come from the archive's own rule: culture before coin.
\nA documentary about a country that did not exist, made as if it did. It uses the archive as its footage and its sources, and it plays it straight: no winks, no explanations of the joke.
\nIt can be one film or a series of short episodes. The director decides.
\nObjects from the Republic, made properly. Each product is something the archive already holds: the Tour of the Plain jersey, the patches, the ring pin, the stamp sheets, the passport cover. Each ships with its archive code and a printed card saying which record it comes from.
\nIt lives on the Ubikistan website (website project).
\nThe archive tells what the Republic did. The Manifest says what it is for. It is the text a new citizen reads first, the one people quote, and the one that holds every other project to account.
\nThe Republic has had a television channel since 1968 and national holidays since the founding, and no anthem in the Archive. This project writes one, and the smaller pieces of State sound around it.
\nThe Archive has an official UBIK account on X already filed in Culture. This project gives the Republic a voice on the channels where people are: a record of the day, an object from the Archive, news from the projects, the border queue at terminal 03.
\nThese come from the archive's rules and apply to every post.
