SIGMA/LUNA: Why the Defense Scope Must Be Global
Introduction
In recent discussions, some have misunderstood the scope of LUNA’s operations.
This post clarifies why LUNA’s defensive responsibilities cover the entire globe — and how this is directly linked to SIGMA’s distributed infrastructure.
What SIGMA Really Is
SIGMA is not a single building or facility.
It is a distributed network of infrastructure nodes and datasets, located across multiple continents.
This global layout ensures redundancy, resilience, and neutrality in data governance.
Why LUNA’s Scope Is Global
Because SIGMA’s nodes are physically and digitally spread around the world, protecting SIGMA means protecting each node — wherever it is.
LUNA’s mission is to ensure that no node, and no dataset within SIGMA, is ever attacked or compromised.
By design, this makes LUNA’s operational scope global.
What LUNA Is Not
LUNA is not a military force.
Its mission is purely defensive: infrastructure protection, cyber defense, and rapid response to natural or human-made disruptions.
It has no mandate for offensive action.
The Rules That Bind All Members
Rule 1: Never attack SIGMA’s infrastructures and datasets.
If such an attack occurs, all members are required to participate in collective sanctions.
Rule 2: Always remember Rule 1.
Conclusion
Understanding the global nature of SIGMA and LUNA is key to building trust in this framework.
A distributed infrastructure requires a distributed defense — and that is why LUNA’s shield must span the world.
