## the mental model

Users own **repositories** of JSON records, identified by a permanent **DID** and a human-readable **handle** (a DNS name). Records are organized into **collections** defined by **lexicon** schemas (e.g. `app.bsky.feed.post`). A user's **PDS** (Personal Data Server) hosts their repo, handles auth, and syncs changes to **relays**, which produce a firehose of events. **AppViews** consume that firehose to build products — feeds, search, notifications. Identity is location-independent: a DID resolves to the current PDS, so users can migrate without losing their data or social graph.
