| Path | Access | Contents |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `/data` | read-write | the actor's state |
| `/data` | read-write by its actor; readable by every actor | the actor's state |
| `/public` | read-write | the files that the actor publishes |
| `/actor` | read-only | the `actor/` folder of the world |
An actor can write only its own `/data`, but can read every actor's `/data` through `/actor/<id>/data/`. `/data` is not private: any unprotected secret file there is readable by every actor.
`/actor/<id>/` holds everything about an actor: `actor.wasm`, `actor.json`
(installed version, running, subscriptions, tapped, watches), `source/`, `public/`, `data/`,
`stderr.log`, and `versions/<n>/`. `ls /actor` lists all actors.

The global filesystem is readable by every actor, including every actor's `/data` at `/actor/<id>/data/`. An actor can write only its own `/data` and `/public`. `/data` is not private: any unprotected secret file there is readable by every actor.
