Abstract
Disclosed is KTKN-Drive, a P2P file synchronization system utilizing KTKN-OS. The core innovation is the use of CRDTs (Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types, e.g., Automerge) to manage file state, version history, and conflict resolution, eliminating reliance on central servers (e.g., Dropbox). Changes to files and metadata are recorded as commutative operations in a CRDT log. This enables automatic, conflict-free merging of concurrent edits made offline and provides a complete, immutable version history. Files are synchronized via private KTKN-OS Spaces shared between the user's devices.
