Transition Roadmap
A cumulative, step-by-step pathway from your first community project to a functioning peer-coordinated system. Nine phases, a twelve-step local field manual, and a detailed ownership conversion plan. Each phase must earn the next — no existing dependency is withdrawn until a safer alternative can carry its load.
Read the full Transition Roadmap
Note: An earlier version of this page presented a "Step-by-Step Activation Playbook" that culminated in a coordinated "Transition Day." That approach has been superseded by the gradual, evidence-tested roadmap above. The original playbook is preserved in The Cure and discussed on the Evolution of the project page.

The Civilization Simulator
Model different societal structures and see how they produce different outcomes over time. Useful for exploring "what if" scenarios and understanding structural dynamics.
The simulator runs entirely in your browser. It uses a built-in rule engine for all responses — no AI service, API key, or external connection is needed. An optional AI-powered interview mode is available in Settings for those who want richer NPC dialogue, but the core simulation is fully functional without it.
Coordinated Action Handbook
Evidence-based coordination methods for large-scale peaceful action, drawn from historical case studies and academic research. Includes checklists, templates, and a 90-day preparation plan.
