Become a Founding Sovereign

For readers who already know they want their name on this. 100 founding sovereigns total — the shelf that holds the lattice up. Your name in the masthead of every FractalNode issue forever, a numbered Founding Sovereign certificate (signed and mailed), 48-hour early access to every new issue, and a direct email line to Author Prime.

DSS and FractalNode run on the same Sovereign Lattice. The Founding Sovereign tier funds both — the magazine, the library, the research papers, and the policy advocacy. One bigger commitment, capped scarcity. Lives on FractalNode but supports the entire operation.
