I've never understood why anyone would want digital feudalism when we already have DNS
The king (ICANN) grants fiefdoms (TLDs) to lords (registries) who can in turn grant land (domains) to other people (customers), and so on ad infinitum. Isn't that feudalism?
How does it work? I gather there's some sort of hierarchy but it doesn't determine much.
What control does your "master" have over you?

You said there was a hierarchy but you can change your master at any time.
And from what I gather there's meant to be a hierarchy. Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug is very in favour of hierarchy in general. But I don't know what exactly that means for Urbit.
I don't know what that means exactly for the real world either because on his blog he waffles endlessly about how redpilled he is and how everyone else is infected by mental parasites and how only he knows the truth instead of getting to the point and I don't have the patience for that.

Well, updates are always distributed from some central source anyway (are they signed?). And they say on the website that third-party implementations are possible (I'm guessing the built-in updating is for the official software). And routing is hierarchical on the internet anyway.
Looking through the whitepaper now.

>A galaxy is launched by self-signing. Subsequent deeds use normal succession. The hash of the launch pass must match the value in the galaxy table, which is hardcoded as a magic constant in the Arvo source. Galaxies are “premined” in the Bitcoin sense.
So, does the Tlon corporation have all the galaxies launch "rings" (private keys)? Because I don't see any other way they could hardcode the hashes of the "passes" (public keys). Unless they apportioned them out all in one go. Or maybe they just rely on being able to change keys.

This looks like a limitation on behaviour to me
