Our mission

What does it mean to be human in an age of increasing complexity?

What technologies will support individual and collective human agency, rather than supplant it?

What technologies provide a foundation for a free, pluralistic, just, kind, creative, flourishing society?

We are a non-profit research institute dedicated to realising a world where the systems that surround us benefit us all. In this way, society can better cooperate on critical issues — the climate crisis, pandemic responses, agricultural modelling, global access to education, and more — through interconnected systems that consider holistic impacts.

Our work

We develop new tools for collective inquiry, based on formal interoperable conceptual modelling, enabled by a combination of novel foundational mathematics, open-source software engineering, and meaningful collaboration with domain specialists.
