Governance architecture for personal data sovereignty.

Jedi Wright is an independent researcher and architect building the Seam Stack: a four-layer pattern for governed boundary crossings in local-first systems. His work addresses a gap at the center of personal data sovereignty: the moment a record leaves a person's local-first environment and enters institutional infrastructure is architecturally ungoverned. The Seam Stack is the framework for making that moment legible, traceable, and governed across local-first and AT Protocol frameworks. Also, building localfirst.social, where the user owns their social graph, and the platform never accumulates their personal data.

Wright is a senior AI Experience Architect and UX practitioner with 31+ years of experience across Fortune 500 digital transformation, agentic systems design, and content governance. He publishes research and long-form writing on AI governance, sensemaking, society, culture, systems, and platforms under Systems of Thought. He operates independently through UX Minds, LLC, based in Philadelphia, PA.
