# Noosphere
[Noosphere](https://subconscious.substack.com/p/noosphere-a-protocol-for-thought) is a "protocol for thought" built by [[Gordon Brander]] and [[Chris Joel]], built on IPLD, UCAN, and IPFS. They are building it in order to power their own product [[Subconscious]], but it's also an open protocol that can be adopted by any TFT.

## Thoughts
Use v1 CIDs:
```
const v1 = CID.parse('bagaaierasords4njcts6vs7qvdjfcvgnume4hqohf65zsfguprqphs3icwea')
v1.toString()
//> 'bagaaierasords4njcts6vs7qvdjfcvgnume4hqohf65zsfguprqphs3icwea'
```
V1 CIDs always start with `ba...` and V0 CIDs start with `Q...`.

For God so loved the world..
I think what it means by God loving the world.
## Noosphere Explainer
Noosphere Explainer article in the style of [[Bartosz Ciechanowski]].
- Notes are the foundation
- Backlinks to other people's notes
- How?
- Need
## Ideas
- Noosphere in a classroom - shared notes - reference each others work
- [[LLMs for text will be inhibited by the same limitations of human collaboration on written works]]
- Reference systems should be unique to the work (Wikipedia should be referenced differently than the Bible, for example)
- Save pages to your local gateway / sphere while you reference, enabling offline access
