Provider Questions

The promise of OASIS depends on whether new storage, blockchain, decentralised network, social, AI, or game-world systems can actually become Provider|Providers without rewriting the whole application layer.

This section gathers the questions needed to understand what it takes to implement a provider: which interfaces must be supported, how Holon|Holons are mapped to native storage keys, how metadata, versioning, queries, permissions, and child relationships are handled, and what guarantees each provider is expected to make.

For Hitchhikers, this matters because systems such as Swarm, Solid, IPFS, Holochain, local databases, and future Anarchive stores may only become useful together if OASIS can treat them as interchangeable but accountable parts of one holonic persistence layer.
