Analysis suggests that this interaction is high in friction, requiring considerable internalised cognition and prior knowledge in order to engage. This research extends this trajectory through Conceptual Modelling to define a Sovereign Boundary Mechanism (SBM), an independent realm of interaction which enables the principles of decentralisation. This research concludes that the core technological infrastructure now exists to facilitate a genuine Decentralised Internet and that an identity layer facilitated through Blockchain technology is progressing the domain towards Self Sovereign Identity (SSI). Practice extends the decentralised trajectory to consider participant journeys, interaction, and the interface layer. Domain experts are consulted to explore application and value proposition. This research engages mixed methods to explore the trajectory of technologies and public attitudes. Investigating the challenge of designing usable, sustainable tools for the everyday participant. This research is designed to explore and evaluate the Decentralised Internet. In recent years work has been undertaken to counter the centralised model, despite these efforts there has been limited change in trajectory or sustained adoption of decentralised technologies. But the positive benefit of the emerging data driven society is threatened by the tensions formed through asymmetric power imbalances that manifest across a narrow band of walled gardened web services. Real-time, non-statistical datasets offer huge potential for governance, commerce, and social cohesion. It is argued that this centralised model threatens to stifle the digital economy, destabilise our democracy, and fundamentally change our social norms. The reality of ubiquitous computing and exponential personal data generation challenges the notion of privacy, as Surveillance Capitalism and Nation State endeavour to record and analyse personal data with the objective of leveraging influence and control.
