maowina
Maowina is a fictional concept used in speculative fiction to denote a universal protocol and platform for privacy-preserving data exchange and computation across distributed devices. It blends ideas from edge computing, federated analytics, and secure computation to illustrate future software architectures.
The Maowina model envisions a three-layer stack: a data layer where datasets reside and are annotated with
Core features include privacy-by-design, modular microservices, open interfaces, lightweight cryptography, and verifiable computation. The architecture supports
In the fictional setting, Maowina is applied to smart cities for anonymized energy and transportation analytics,
Historical note and reception: The term originates in a 2040s science fiction canon and has since appeared
