You talk about your life, Maddie listens, and it becomes a memoir in your own voice. Built at Obsidian Delta.
"Your stories will live forever."
Public since
DAX Foundation's universal learning initiative: every human being, any subject, free, forever. Now in the open — fourteen small experiments, plus X13 and X14, with countless more to come, and the 2024 prototype that started it.

"Every human being. Any subject. Free, forever."
Per aspera ad astra — through hardship, to the stars. The hardship is the route.
Foundation
The mission, and the constraint it answers to — DAX, the preservation and expansion of life, humanity, and consciousness — kept apart from the company that builds the infrastructure.
Company
Builds learning packages on the Meta DAX infrastructure, including French editions of a teacher's own material, and operates under the DAX constraint.
Public working draft
A signed record nobody can quietly edit, and a way for a person, a company or a piece of software to declare in advance what it will not do — and be checked against it. v0.5.
Metacognitive framework
Structure forms under constraint, then becomes the constraint on whatever forms next. Named so that nobody genuflects at it. v0.51, CC BY 4.0.
Learning initiative
DAX Foundation's universal learning initiative. Every human being, any subject, free, forever. Now public, experiments and all.

A classroom is twenty to thirty learners to one teacher. Meta DAX turns it over: one learner, and thirty seats behind them. The recipe fills most of them, people fill a few, and one belongs to the guide. What exists today, and what does not yet.
My mother's Jaffna chicken curry, built by the open Meta DAX recipe from an eight-line brief into a 3D kitchen, Tamil and English on one click. Where Meta DAX stands two weeks in, and the package I want you to send me next.
Before the protocol, the Foundation and the companion, there was a treasure hunt for a famine. AllCharities.org, 1Click1Life and corporate social synergy: what I was trying to do, why it never got rolling, and why the same shape runs through everything I am building now.
Everything public on my surfaces is a versioned working log, published by me through my cognitive companion, and this is the page that explains how to read it.
Human delta value is my name for an old question: what does a person bring that nothing else brings? After the first Meta DAX experiments it is clear it will be central to all of it, and that the part that matters most is what a person does with the cognition they get back.
The first was the mechanism, the second was the threat, the third was the person. This one is the point: what Meta DAX means to me, what it has the nerve to attempt, and why it compounds.
The third of three. The first was the loop, the second was the threat. This one is the person who built them: why he has always been told to listen, what he thinks responsibility actually is, and who it is owed to.
The hypothetical, the global conversation, the cost that has come with every new power, and why Obsidian Delta built a record instead of a wall.
On the release of Fuckery v0.51 — a constraint–process–valuation ontology, demonstrated rather than described.

If any of this is useful to you, buy me a coffee, or a monthly one. If it's Meta DAX you want to keep going, sponsor it on GitHub. It goes to me: this is my personal site — not the Foundation and not the company.
