Core defines the model. Perspectives tests its consequences. A Perspective does not need to answer a common reader question or reach a conclusion. It needs a proposition worth thinking through.
These pages are living. They can become stronger, weaker, more complicated, or be abandoned. When a new Core is published, the then-current Perspective set is frozen beside it as historical context.
Arguments we want to keep pushing.
Working means actively exploratory. Developed means the argument is more mature, not proven or permanent. The labels are navigation, not a score.
Before Redistribution
Worker-owned augmentation and the case for UBI
If workers can retain a share of automation gains at the point they are created, some pressure for redistribution may be reduced — without making social safety nets obsolete.
Read Perspective →Beyond the Four-Day Week
Shorter work as a productivity curve, not one fixed schedule
Time+ suggests a different route to shorter work: working time could fall progressively as verified personal augmentation takes on more of the productive burden.
Read Perspective →Retirement Without the Cliff
When productive capability gradually replaces required human hours
A mature + could make retirement less like a sudden exit and more like a long transfer from required human work toward optional participation.
Read Perspective →When Labor Becomes Capital
Taxation when a worker owns productive augmentation
Worker-owned augmentation blurs familiar boundaries between labor income, tools, business assets and capital-supported income.
Read Perspective →Collective Rights in an Individual-Augmentation Economy
Why personal ownership may still need collective bargaining
If Time+ is negotiated only person by person, bargaining power may overwhelm ownership. Collective rules could make individual augmentation genuinely protective.
Read Perspective →Who Owns What the AI Learns?
Carry the learning, not the library.
The + should carry derived professional capability without becoming a portable copy of protected employer information, and it should keep enforcing that boundary when future employers interrogate it. Portability is both an abstraction problem and an access-control problem.
Read Perspective →Learning Alongside Your +
Education when professional augmentation can accumulate for decades
If a + can compound across a career, education may need to teach not only knowledge but how to build augmentation without surrendering independent competence.
Read Perspective →The Augmentation Divide
How worker-owned AI could reduce inequality — or compound it
Personal productive capital sounds democratizing only if people can actually access the models, education, compute and opportunities needed to build it.
