Ultralithic Architecture

MyWorld represents an ambitious attempt to unify personal life management through a comprehensive system built on ultralithic architecture principles. By treating all life aspects as interconnected nodes in a universal network, it aims to provide seamless integration across various life domains while maintaining flexibility for future expansion.

Vision and Goals

The project aims to demonstrate how an ultralithic architecture can effectively manage complex, interconnected personal data while providing a foundation for potential evolution into a multi-tenant SaaS platform. The system challenges traditional separation of concerns by embracing a unified data model that reflects the inherently connected nature of personal life management.

Core Capabilities

Knowledge Management

  • Comprehensive note-taking system
  • Content publishing pipeline
  • Information organization and retrieval
  • Knowledge graph visualization

Time & Task Management

  • Multi-scale planning (hours to months)
  • Task tracking and organization
  • Calendar integration across all modules
  • Progress monitoring and analytics

Financial Management

  • Comprehensive budgeting system
  • Retirement planning and modeling
  • Investment tracking and analysis
  • Goal-based financial planning

Nutrition Management

  • Recipe database and management
  • Grocery planning and tracking
  • Meal scheduling and preparation
  • Nutritional analysis and reporting

Technical Implementation

Data Architecture

At its core, MyWorld implements a universal node-based network where every entity—whether a task, note, transaction, or recipe—exists as an interconnected node. This approach enables:

  • Flexible relationship modeling between different types of data
  • Unified querying across all life aspects
  • Natural evolution of data models as needs change
  • Rich metadata and tagging capabilities

System Layers

  1. Core Data Layer: Universal node network with CRUD operations and cross-module linking
  2. Logic Layer: Module-specific business logic with type-based schema enforcement
  3. Access Control Layer: Security and multi-tenant support for future scaling
  4. API Security & Monetization Layer: Comprehensive API management including key rotation, rate limiting, and usage-based billing

API Security & Monetization

As a central service that other services depend on, the system implements comprehensive security and monetization features:

  • API key management with automatic rotation
  • Request signing and validation
  • Flexible rate limiting and quota management
  • Usage tracking and pay-as-you-use billing
  • Service tier management for different use cases
  • Feature-based licensing controls

Performance Strategy

The system balances security and performance through a strategic approach:

  • Central repository prioritizing security and data integrity
  • Peripheral services with local caching capabilities
  • Optimized query patterns for common operations
  • Efficient data synchronization mechanisms

Development Roadmap

Phase 1: Personal Tool

  • Core data model implementation
  • Basic CRUD operations
  • Essential module functionality
  • Personal use case validation

Phase 2: Multi-tenant Foundation

  • Access control implementation
  • Service-level API development
  • Basic API security features
  • Initial rate limiting implementation
  • Enhanced security measures
  • Performance optimization

Phase 3: SaaS Evolution

  • Multi-tenant isolation
  • Service-specific APIs
  • Advanced rate limiting and quota management
  • Usage-based billing implementation
  • Tiered service offerings
  • Advanced analytics
  • Integration capabilities

Current Status

The project is in its initial development phase, focusing on establishing the core data model and basic functionality. The emphasis is on validating the ultralithic approach in a personal context before expanding to support multiple users and additional features.
