ORDINARY QRONE SHOT
One symbol.
One payload.
The receiver learns what data appeared in a square. Continuity, recovery and sender context belong elsewhere.
Research draft 00 Open optical networking protocol
A network
in the light.
PrismShare explores a persistent screen-to-camera link built on QR-compatible symbols—adaptive, streaming, authenticated, loss-tolerant and able to carry multiple applications through the same visible channel.

No radio. No cable. No network account.

Visual link simulation. No camera is accessed and no data is transferred.
01 / MODEL
Not a square.
A link.
A QR code is usually treated as a moment: show, scan, decode, finish. PrismShare treats QR-compatible symbols as frames in an ongoing optical relationship.
One symbol.
PRISMSHAREPERSISTENT
A stream with memory.
Frames contribute to a session that can adapt, recover missed data, maintain authentication and separate logical channels.
PROTOCOL MODEL / RESEARCH DRAFT
One optical path.
Many layers.
The symbol remains compatible with camera and QR-shaped constraints. The network behaviour lives in the protocol carried across successive frames.

02 / AUTHENTICATION
Know who is transmitting—not only what appeared in the square.
PrismShare’s research goal is to keep credentials, public keys, signatures, challenges and rotating proofs moving inside the stream, so authentication is part of the link rather than a one-off payload convention.

03 / APPLICATIONS
What rides
the light?
PrismShare is a carrier, not one application. These concepts show what a persistent authenticated optical channel could make possible.

Research,
not release theatre.
Existing MASHR experiments prove narrower ingredients: bounded static and animated QR-compatible payloads, fountain reconstruction, signed objects and offline scanning. PrismShare is the larger protocol now being defined.
