FAQ — Help

Digital Synapse Exchange is a multilingual collaborative platform and an independent research laboratory. It allows any human group — businesses, associations, co-owners, students, families, researchers — to organize, publish, discuss and negotiate together in a sovereign space.

Digital Synapse Exchange combines seven integrated features: article writing, media galleries, real-time discussions, file sharing, interactive projects, group structuring (MASP) and collective negotiation with signed PDF export.

Yes. Registration, group creation, article publishing, galleries, discussions, file sharing and access to all tools are entirely free. No credit card required, no subscription, no advertising.

For any human group that needs to organize and decide together. Digital Synapse Exchange is not reserved for businesses. Here are some concrete examples:

Businesses & SMEs — internal group management, supplier negotiation, collaborative intranet.
Associations & collectives — publications, events, committees, votes.
Co-owners — meeting minutes, expense discussions, renovation photos.
High schools & universities — student unions, juries, working groups, student projects.
Researchers & inventors — research articles, interactive projects, scientific discussions.
Families & close groups — joint decisions, shared projects, collective organization.

No. Digital Synapse Exchange runs entirely in your web browser — PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone. No installation, no plugin. All you need is an internet connection and a recent browser.

The platform is currently in English. Articles published by members can be written in any language of their choice — English, French, Spanish or any other language.

Digital Synapse Exchange is designed and developed by Miguel Vidal Brajo-Jandia, engineer and holder of a Master II in Law and a Master's in Law (UFR Montpellier I / Paris II Panthéon-Assas). The platform is hosted at PlanetHoster (Canada/Europe) and operated from Ollioules, France.

Digital Synapse Exchange is also an independent research laboratory publishing work in law, mathematics, history, geography, cybersecurity and related fields through four specialized journals.

Yes. Once logged in, go to My Profile in your member space to update your personal information, profile photo and preferences.

No. The Hub, public articles, public galleries, open discussions and public group showcases are accessible to everyone without an account. An account is only required to publish content, join a group or participate in a negotiation.

A group is a shared workspace between multiple members. Each group has its own articles, galleries, discussions, files, projects and negotiation sessions. A group can be public (visible to all and indexed by Google) or private (restricted to invited members).

From your member space, go to My Groups and click "Create a group". Give it a name, a description, and choose the membership mode: open (any member can join), by invitation (unique token link) or closed (no new entrants without manager action).

You can also use MASP to create multiple groups at once via CSV import.

Every public group automatically has a showcase page accessible on the web at digital-synapse-exchange.com/groupe/[your-id]. This page presents your articles, galleries, projects and discussions. It is indexed by Google and requires no subscription.

See the Public showcase page to learn more.

🌐 Open — Any registered Digital Synapse Exchange member can join freely. Ideal for community groups, student unions or support.
🎟️ By invitation — Access only via a unique token link generated by the group manager. Perfect for partners, suppliers or confidential projects.
🔒 Closed — Closed group, no new entrants without explicit manager action. For management, sensitive subsidiaries or legal matters. This mode also activates automatically when a negotiation session starts.

There is no limit. You can create as many groups as needed and join as many groups as you wish, depending on their membership mode.

The negotiation module is a real-time collective decision-making tool. Multiple participants connect simultaneously to a session, propose clauses, vote, submit counter-proposals, then sign digitally. The result is a PDF contract generated automatically with each signatory's stamp.

See all the details on the Negotiation page.

The group manager launches the session. They configure the proposal duration and template type (business, association, union, co-ownership). Group participants join the session from their browser.

The manager is a facilitator: they run the session but do not vote. This separation of powers is enforced server-side. The manager can reorder adopted clauses and trigger PDF generation once all signatures are received.

Clauses are processed in strict submission order (FIFO). Each participant can accept, reject or submit a counter-proposal. Participants also rate each clause from 1 to 5 stars. The approval rate is calculated in real time.

Only one counter-proposal can be active at a time: the original clause is suspended until a verdict is reached. If the counter-proposal is rejected, the original clause is automatically reactivated.

After the session closes, each participant fills in their signature block: name, capacity, location, date and company stamp (PNG or JPG image). Stamp images are embedded in the PDF then immediately deleted from the server — native GDPR compliance.

The PDF contains: a legal preamble adapted to the chosen template, adopted clauses numbered as articles, each signatory's signatures and stamps, and a chronological audit annex tracing every action (proposals, votes, counter-proposals) with timestamps.

The PDF is generated once and automatically copied to each signatory's file space.

Yes. Each participant can sign or refuse to sign. The manager sees in real time the number of signatures received and refusals. The PDF is only generated once all participants have responded (signed or refused).

No. Once the session has started, the group is automatically closed. No new participant can join the ongoing session — this guarantees the integrity of the negotiation.

MASP (Mobility Add Structure and Profit) is the Digital Synapse Exchange group structuring protocol. It allows you to create multiple groups simultaneously from a CSV file, compose groups by drag-and-drop, then control permissions module by module from the Manager Space — all in 3 steps.

See the MASP page for a detailed presentation.

Prepare a CSV file with the columns: email, username, role (manager or client), company, group_name, join_mode. A template file is downloadable directly from MASP. Groups are generated automatically from your CSV, then you refine them by drag-and-drop before validation.

1. CSV import — Load your file with members, roles and groups. Groups are generated automatically.
2. Group composition — Refine by drag-and-drop: move members between groups, add or remove groups, change access modes (open, invitation, closed).
3. ACL permissions — From the Manager Space, configure which modules are shared between your groups: chat, writing, files, discussions, gallery, negotiation. A toggle per module, per pair of groups.

The ACL (Access Control List) system is the core of MASP. The manager selects two groups and enables or disables each module between them — chat, writing, negotiation, files, discussions, gallery. Permissions are directional: IT can send a message to Customer Service without Customer Service being able to reply. If the manager removes all permissions, access is completely cut off, including to past content.

The Hub is the public feed of the Digital Synapse Exchange community. It displays the latest articles, galleries and discussions published by all public groups, in a single chronological feed. Anyone can view it, even without an account.

From your member space, go to Writing. Write your article with rich formatting, associate it with a group, and choose to publish it in public mode (visible to all, indexed by Google) or private mode (restricted to group members).

You can share images, videos and audio files. Galleries have an integrated lightbox with keyboard navigation, full screen and direct playback in the browser.

An interactive project is an HTML/CSS/JS application executed directly in the browser. Calculators, data visualizations, tools — your group can become a true interactive laboratory. Projects are published on the group's public showcase.

Yes. Group discussions and chat work in real time via Socket.IO. Messages appear instantly for all connected participants, without page reload.

My Feed is your personalized news feed in the member space. It displays the latest content from the groups you belong to: recent articles, galleries, active discussions, shared files and ongoing negotiation sessions. It is your entry point to discover what is happening in your groups.

Your data is hosted at PlanetHoster, a hosting provider based in Canada with European infrastructure. No data is resold, no commercial recommendation algorithm is used, no advertising is displayed.

All uploaded files are automatically analyzed by the FEFCS engine (Fractional Exact Flow Computing System) before processing. This engine uses pure structural detection via exact fractional arithmetic — no signatures, no external database. The detection rate is approximately 92% on Windows PE malware, with zero false positives on PE files.

Negotiation confidentiality is guaranteed by several mechanisms: only authenticated group members can participate (server-side verification on every request), signature stamps are never stored in the database (temporary file deleted after PDF generation), and every action is timestamped with complete traceability.

Yes. Digital Synapse Exchange is designed with respect for privacy as a founding principle. Signature stamps are purged after PDF generation, data does not leave the hosting infrastructure, and no personal data is shared with third parties. The privacy policy is available on the Privacy page.

No. No advertising is displayed, no data is sold to advertisers, no commercial recommendation algorithm is used. Digital Synapse Exchange is a workspace, not an advertising social network.

Digital Synapse Exchange is also an independent research laboratory publishing work in law, mathematics, history, geography, cybersecurity and related fields. Publications are distributed through four journals: J Corporate, Consumption & Competition Gazette, Digital Synapse Exchange Review and El Palacio de la Prensa Jurídica.

FEFCS (Fractional Exact Flow Computing System) is a computing system based on exact fractional arithmetic, rooted in the work of Al-Khwarizmi. It has two applications:

FEFCS Calculator — interactive demonstrator revealing the systematic rounding errors of the decimal system, with calculated financial impact. Accessible on the Calculator page.
FEFCS Engine (V12) — structural malware detection engine via fractional analysis of binary sections. ~92% detection on 11,000+ real PE malware samples, zero signatures, zero database. In testing on Digital Synapse Exchange for uploaded file protection.

Yes. Any member can write and publish articles from their member space. You can publish in public mode (visible to all, indexed by Google) or private mode (restricted to your group). Articles can be written in English, French, Spanish or any other language.
