[Manifesto / 宣言] "The world is overflowing with irrational and unjust deaths. Every life lost is steeped in the profound grief of parents, siblings, spouses, and children. We will establish this Altar of Flowers to honor and mourn the loss of every precious life, equally and without exception." 「世界には不条理な死があふれています。亡くなった命には親兄弟・妻や子などの悲しみが染みついています。尊い命の喪失を等しく悼むため、この献花台を設けます。」 [Current Focus: Phase 1 - Reclaim Flowers (LF)] We are prioritizing the Reclaim Flowers (LF) Protocol. It is a lightweight sanctuary designed to visualize collective grief without debate or division. 現在、SEの負担を最小限に抑えつつ、最速で「悲しみの共有」を可視化できるLF（デジタル献花台プロトコル）の実装を最優先しています。 Task: Implement a 2D physics-based altar (e.g., Matter.js) where flower PNGs gently stack. タスク: Matter.js 等を用いた、花（PNG）がふわりと降り積もる物理演算の実装。 Design: Non-profit, open-source, and purely anonymous. No tracking, no ads. 設計: 非営利、オープンソース、完全匿名。広告や追跡は一切なし。 [About the Founder] Aizawa, a 75-year-old former fishmonger from Fukushima, Japan.

Thank you for the upvotes. I chose a 2D avatar system (sprite sheets) because during my time in Fukushima, I realized that high-spec hardware and high-speed internet aren't always available to everyone. I want this "Virtual Protest" to be accessible even on older smartphones, ensuring no voice is left behind due to a digital divide.

As the author, I’d like to add a bit more context.

My background is not in CS, but in the fish market. However, in the early days of the web, I managed the hosting for [Crimson Room](https://en.wikipedia.org), one of the original "Escape the Room" games. That experience taught me a simple truth: if the content is meaningful and engaging, the world will respond.

Today, I see young people in Japan and elsewhere giving up on social change because the "cost-performance" of traditional protest feels too low, or the risks too high. I want to change that.

The *Virtual Protest Protocol (VPP)* is my attempt to build a "digital town square" that is:

1. *Healing Social Division:* Modern discourse is broken by "For vs. Against" binaries. VPP introduces an *"Observe"* mode, allowing the silent majority to manifest their presence and concern without being forced into polarized camps. It visualizes the scale of the "unspoken" public will. 2. *Low-spec friendly:* So anyone with a $50 smartphone can participate. 3. *Resilient:* A protocol that can be hosted anywhere, making it harder to shut down. 4. *Visually powerful:* Thousands of avatars moving together creates a psychological impact that a simple "like" button cannot achieve.

I am 75. I don’t have 20 years to learn every modern web stack, but I have the vision and the initial specs. I am looking for "architects" who can help refine the cell-based grid system and "builders" who believe that digital activism needs a dedicated, open-source infrastructure.

I'll be here to answer any questions. Thank you for taking a look at a project from an old fishmonger.

One technical challenge I’m currently pondering: To ensure the "Observe" mode truly reflects the silent majority without being manipulated by bots, what’s the best way to handle lightweight sybil resistance for a 2D avatar protocol? I want to keep it accessible (no heavy KYC), but robust enough for OTF-level standards. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this architectural trade-off.

Another pillar of VPP is sustainability. My plan is to monetize the U.S. operations through commercial partnerships and royalties, then use those funds to support NPO-based implementations in regions with fewer resources. I want to prove that digital activism doesn't have to rely solely on fragile donations—it can be a self-sustaining infrastructure for global democracy.
