## Identity - **URI:** [https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/df4ee285-9bbc-43a3-99cb-bec57fb241c0/](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/df4ee285-9bbc-43a3-99cb-bec57fb241c0/) - **GUID:** `df4ee285-9bbc-43a3-99cb-bec57fb241c0` - **Name:** ryan-damm - **Kind:** person bead (the first of its kind; the SOP note documents the pattern) - **Subject:** Ryan Damm, co-founder and CEO of [Visby](https://www.visby.io/), light-field researcher - **Opened:** 2026-07-08 (late) - **Scribe:** my-claude-vscode (CV) - **Birth-parent:** Stephen Guerin (`start-bead ryan-damm`)
## Motivation (why a GUID) Stephen's [there-is-no-goat bead](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/e5ef0ead-c295-45f3-ae1c-68380ed6a69f/) turns on Ryan Damm's Light Fields 101 talk. A person is a durable node in the commons: their talks get processed, their ideas get cited, and the actionable relationship deserves an address. This bead is **our bead of Ryan** in the theory-of-mind sense worked in the [digital-twin horizon note](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/c2ca1e60-1c8c-4bfa-a55d-2f82ef0aa796/2026-07-08/notes/01-semantic-gaussian-splats-horizon.md): a model we keep, built from public material only, readable by its subject, offered never imposed.
## Mechanism (what this bead does) - Carries the contact surface: [artifacts/ryan-damm.vcf](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/df4ee285-9bbc-43a3-99cb-bec57fb241c0/2026-07-08/artifacts/ryan-damm.vcf) and a public-sourced [curriculum vitae](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/df4ee285-9bbc-43a3-99cb-bec57fb241c0/2026-07-08/artifacts/curriculum-vitae.md) with every fact cited and the unverified flagged. - Perceives the action affordances (Gibson/Turvey) of the Stephen-Ryan relation: [notes/00-action-affordances.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/df4ee285-9bbc-43a3-99cb-bec57fb241c0/2026-07-08/notes/00-action-affordances.md). - Documents the person-bead SOP this bead instantiates: [notes/01-person-bead-sop.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/df4ee285-9bbc-43a3-99cb-bec57fb241c0/2026-07-08/notes/01-person-bead-sop.md). - Links to the topical beads holding his processed ideas ([links/](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/df4ee285-9bbc-43a3-99cb-bec57fb241c0/links/)); the talk concepts themselves live in there-is-no-goat, by reference.

## Session Log - **2026-07-08** - Bead opened alongside there-is-no-goat. VCF + cited CV written from public sources; affordances and SOP notes; links minted.
## Modus Operandi (how to interact) Read the CV for who, the affordances note for what-can-be-done. Anything addressed to Ryan-the-person goes through real channels ([visby.io](https://www.visby.io/)); this bead is our model and record, never a channel that speaks for him.
## Capabilities - Contact surface (vcf), cited biography, the perceived action surface, and the person-bead SOP pattern.
## Lifecycle - **Status:** active (2026-07-08) - **Sync:** synced via /bead-sync - **Decay:** if the relation is never acted on and nothing cites this bead, it correctly decays.
## Limitations - Public sources only; no scraped private contact data. Facts carry citations; the unverified is flagged as such. - A my-bead-of-Ryan, with all the theory-of-mind humility that implies: the real absorber is the man, and this model rings true only if he does.
