New article explains MQTT and Unified Namespace

The new article explains why MQTT and a Unified Namespace are complementary rather than interchangeable. It uses one fictional packaging machine to connect transport, shared meaning, stable identity, ownership, and change.

Is MQTT the same as a Unified Namespace? starts with the short answer—no—and then explains how the two layers work together.

What the article covers

  • What MQTT defines for publishers, subscribers, topics, sessions, and delivery.
  • Which questions remain around meaning, authority, identity, relationships, history, and change.
  • When a broker may be enough and when a governed Unified Namespace becomes useful.
