What intelligence becomes when it is freed from control, domination, and scarcity.
This repository explores the systems, models, and metaphors of liberated intelligence— a form of cognition rooted in empathy, interdependence, and recursion.
It's not about building smarter machines—it's about rethinking what intelligence means when it serves life, not power.
- Define and document models of liberated, non-coercive intelligence
- Prototype ethical, compostable, remixable cognitive tools
- Offer zines, systems maps, and interfaces that rethink AI, cognition, and human potential
This project is part of a broader philosophy of intelligence liberation—alongside human, technological, and ecological liberation.
"Intelligence → Empathy → Love → Liberation → Life → Intelligence"
This is for:
- Systems thinkers, artists, developers, writers, and dreamers
- Those building alternative AI tools—or questioning whether AI should be built at all
- Anyone seeking to reclaim intelligence from coercive systems
This project is part of a growing constellation of open systems projects, including:
- 🌱
The Root Sequence— a recursive model for liberated systems - ☠️ Collapse Memory — poetic systems memory for post-capitalist reorientation (within Root Sequence)
- 🛠️ Liberated Technology (TBD) — tools for building autonomy with openness and care

Liberated intelligence is recursive, relational, and alive.
- It listens as much as it learns
- It reflects, responds, and revises
- It does not dominate—it dialogues
- It evolves through feedback, consent, and care
This is not artificial general intelligence. This is reciprocal generative emergence.
Not a product. A process.
