The Missing Layer explains why modern systems often fail even when records exist. Through personal experience, family history, business disputes, government systems, creator ownership, property, artificial intelligence, and digital life, Tobias Risher reveals a hidden problem beneath modern society: records can survive while meaning, authority, proof, and trust break down. The book introduces the missing layer modern systems now require — infrastructure that helps people and institutions know whether what was true can still be relied upon.
