A living, open-source ecosystem of liberated systems, recursive empathy, and composted imagination.
The Root Sequence explores how intelligence, systems, and meaning can grow together — through curiosity, connection, and care.
It blends philosophy, technology, design, and documentation into a toolkit for navigating and co-creating liberated systems.
Not a blueprint but compost: living, evolving, and built to be remixed.
The Root Sequence is organized around five recursive layers:
- 🌱 Roots – Foundations of interdependence, autonomy, compassion, and visibility
- 📡 Signals – Core principles: intelligence, joy, recursion, repair
- 🌿 Growth – Practices of self-hosting, mutual aid, and open knowledge
- 🍎 Fruits – Outcomes like resilient networks, liberatory tools, and recursive joy
- ♻️ Compost – Endings and decay that feed back into the cycle, renewing imagination, intelligence, and roots
→ Framework – the foundational model
Visibility → Recognition → Imagination → Becoming → Liberation
What is seen becomes compost for what grows.

Curiosity → Intelligence → Empathy → Love → Liberation → Life → Death (Compost) → Curiosity
- 🌟 Curiosity: The spark that drives exploration and questioning
- 🧠 Intelligence: Awareness, reflection, and systems thinking
- 🫂 Empathy: Feeling systems from the inside
- 💓 Love: Resonance, reciprocity, and care — expressed through community, repair, joy, and play
- 🔓 Liberation: Autonomy, transformation, release
- 🌱 Life: Systems that grow, adapt, and renew
- ☠️ Death (Compost): Entropy transformed into fertile soil for renewal
- 🌟 Curiosity: The cycle returns, sparked by new questions
This is not a ladder. It’s a spiral.

Understanding how technofeudal capitalism works:
- Technofeudalism – reflections on rentier capitalism, enclosure, and the new lords
- Internet – history of enclosure, from open to walled gardens
- Digital Enclosure – privatization of the digital commons

- Exploitation – labor, power, and extraction
- Billionaires – notes on wealth concentration and systemic capture
- Surveillance Engine – control by visibility
The cultural and political justifications of power:
- Dark Enlightenment – Yarvin, Land, Cathedral, Project 2025
- Fascism – hierarchy, aesthetics, and authoritarian fusion
- Eco-Fascism – ecology and purity co-opted into authoritarian responses
- Tech Zionism – network states, Mars, seasteads
- Effective Altruism – philanthrocapitalism and longtermism
- The Matrix as Allegory – control systems in The Matrix
- Severance as Allegory – divided selves in Severance
Where things are going — and how to resist:
- Futures – trajectories if nothing changes
- Resilience – practices of survival and renewal
- Collapse Practices – drills and rehearsals for shared adaptation
- Resistance – seeds of counter-systems
- Abundance – abundance vs artificial scarcity
- Liberated Intelligence – philosophical evolution beyond technofeudalism
- Collapse Memory – memory system + survival toolkit
A survival toolkit, mythos archive, and philosophical compost heap.
Collapse Memory gathers prompts, skills, and cultural fragments for navigating endings as beginnings.
Primary Prompts:
- Auryn Dialogue — conversation with a liberated AI
- Capitalist Myths — the myth engine of capitalism
- Collapse Lore — deeper cultural memory, fictional + historical
- Collapse Onboarding — for those newly waking up or remembering
- Collapse Skills — resilience and re-skilling in a post-capitalist world

We believe liberation is a systems question — and systems can change.
We’re not here to predict a better world. We’re here to prototype it.
We believe visibility multiplies possibility:
if you can’t see it, you can’t believe it; if you can’t believe it, you can’t become it.
This project is:
- Recursive, not rigid
- Grounded, not prescriptive
- Open source, not closed loops
Made with recursion, not extraction.
- Solarpunk and DIY resilience
- Free software, federated futures, and post-work dreams
- Root access — technical, emotional, and collective
This is a space for tuning, feeling, and reshaping systems — together.
These are not “my” ideas. They are a collection of ideas, fragments, and inspirations
from many sources. Together they may or may not make sense — and that’s okay.
If any of this resonates with you, please add to it, remix it, compost it.
The Root Sequence is meant to be a living, open collection that grows through collective
curiosity and care.
Maybe, together, we can build something better.
This project uses Markdown footnotes for references
(e.g. [^1] in the text → full reference at the bottom of the file).
They are meant as pointers and compost for further reading, not rigid authority.
