Braver New World documentation

BNW is a local-first, peer-to-peer network. Every device runs the same node; there is no authoritative server, canonical database, or consensus layer. People, agents, devices, and organizations offer and use capabilities — models, MCP tools, REST APIs, search, and agents — with signed, verifiable evidence of every step.
