Abstract: The author discusses the proposed human mesh networks (HMNs) knowledge sharing model option when digital systems and institutional structures fail as of 2026. Topics covered include HMNs' maintenance of communication with others that form overlapping webs of trust and accountability that can be rehearsed in advance, and their enabling of national and international collaboration which require no hardware beyond people and trust. Also noted are HMNs' activation during system failure or unrest.
