A rulebook the network runs by
The XE State Chain holds the network’s settings as a chain of its own, changed only by blocks the XE Keyset signs together. Any node can read the rules it runs by.
How XE is governedThe XE State Chain, XE Timekeepers, messaging, leases by the resource
The network got a rulebook it runs by, witnesses for when work starts and stops, a way for any account to message another, and leases priced by what a machine really gives.

Witnesses for every lease
XE Timekeepers sign when a lease starts and when it ends. A quorum of them sets the time, so neither side of a lease can say it ran longer or shorter than it did.
About leasesAny account can talk to any account
A directory maps every account to the node it lives on, and messages travel straight between them over XE Mesh, signed end to end.
About messagingWith the State Chain in place, the network’s own settings, like who the timekeepers are and how many must agree, stop being config files and become blocks anyone can check.
