✦ Common People & Directory Layer
← All Applications

Authentic human relationships, free from addictive algorithms and commercial surveillance.

HumanGroups is the common relational layer of the NHG ecosystem. It centralizes real people, directory contacts, contextual records, family units, and communities, powering all applications with inviolable privacy.

Relational Philosophy

A Directory for Living People, Not an Addictive Social Network

We reject the model of commercial platforms that commodify human bonds into forced screen time, vanity metrics, and opaque advertising graphs.

🏛️

The Single Master for People (Single Source of Truth)

Centralizes the person entity and directory contacts for the whole ecosystem, eliminating duplicate records and outdated spreadsheets across tools.

🔒

Contextual Records with Strict Privacy

What you know about a contact in a personal, work, or civic setting stays confined to that context record. There is never forced exposure in a global public profile.

🌿

No Toxic Feed or Vanity Metrics

No follower counts, no addictive likes, no opaque retention algorithms, and zero monetization of human attention.

Frontiers & Architectural Clarity

Clear Concepts to Protect Sovereignty and Security

In the NHG ecosystem, identity, contact, membership, and access are strictly distinct concepts with independent lifecycles.

👤

Core Account ≠ Directory Person

You can register friends, clients, family members, and partners in your directory without them needing an NHG account. A Core account is only the authenticated platform subject.

🛡️

Adding to Team ≠ Granting Access

Associating someone with a work team or social group does not create credentials or grant access to confidential data. Security access is explicit, audited, and separate.

🏛️

Group ≠ Workspace ≠ Organization

Groups are social and functional structures (families, departments, collectives). Workspaces are collaborative data boundaries. Organizations are formal legal entities.

🗂️

Contextual Record ≠ Global Public Profile

Each context holds only relevant notes and communication channels (personal, professional, volunteer), preserving healthy separation across life domains.

Cross-App Integration

The People Foundation Powering Every Application

HumanGroups does not operate as an isolated silo: it provides relational cohesion and people consistency to the entire NHG ecosystem.

Teams, RACI & Resource Allocation

HumanPlanner

Projects directory persons into project teams, RACI responsibility matrices, workload capacity, and effort tracking without duplicate records.

🏛️
Workspaces & Governance

HumanCore

Connects sovereign workspace members and owners to their groups, departments, and organizational affiliations with audited traceability.

🔒
Encrypted Circles of Trust

HumanSecrets

Uses HumanGroups circles and teams for selective sharing of credentials and confidential notes with isolated client-server encryption keys.

🤍
Solidarity & Volunteering Networks

HumanKind

Mobilizes community hubs, donors, and volunteers for altruistic loaning of mobility equipment and essential life-support goods.

Core Capabilities

Relational Structure Designed for Real Life

Purpose-built tools to organize contacts, teams, and support networks with clarity, respect, and flexibility.

📇

Contact Directory & Rich Records

Comprehensive records with multiple communication channels, private contextual notes, professional skills, and organized relationship history.

👥

Flexible Groups & Hierarchies

Create social groups, departments, family units, cross-functional teams, or study circles with subgroups and dynamic affiliations.

🏢

Org Charts & Structural Mapping

Clear visualization of organizational hierarchies, reporting lines (reports-to), functional roles, and coordination hubs.

🔗

Canonical Cross-App Projections

Reference-based person consumption across any ecosystem app, with fault tolerance for temporary local data and safe reconciliation.

🛡️

Contextual Privacy Governance

Guarantees that private notes or personal contacts never leak into professional or civic contexts within the same user space.

💡

Open Community Co-creation

Direct participation in designing relational workflows and submitting real-world use cases through the ecosystem co-creation portal.

Engineering & Sovereignty

Open Standards and Rigorous Data Protection

Built on the same inviolable engineering and sovereignty principles that govern all NHG software.

Thin-Shell APEX (App 222)

Lightweight Decoupled Frontend

Modular presentation built in JavaScript and CSS over clean ORDS REST contracts, ensuring complete frontend portability.

Fail-Closed in the Database

Strict Server Authorization

No contact or group visibility is trusted to the browser. All authorization and tenancy isolation reside securely in the database.

Liquid Frosted Glass

Unified Design System

Seamless visual language with translucent frosted glass, four immersive background layers, and a calm palette adaptable to light and dark themes.

Zero Commercial Telemetry

Privacy by Principle

No behavioral analytics, no tracking cookies, and zero commercialization of relationship graphs to third parties.

HumanGroups Roadmap

Build Phases and Next Milestones

HumanGroups evolution follows the NHG development protocol with measured, controlled transitions.

Phase 1 — In Conception & Modeling

Canonical Frontiers & Directory Model

Formal definition of ownership boundaries (G13/G14/G15), inventory of APEX 222 baseline, and design of contextual records schema.

Phase 2 — In Development

Projection Contracts & REST APIs

Implementation of projection contracts for HumanPlanner, ORDS REST endpoints, and screen migration to the Thin-Shell pattern.

Phase 3 — Planned

Interactive Org Charts & Advanced Integrations

Dynamic organizational chart visualizers, federated community directories, and native integration with HumanSecrets and HumanKind.
