How to Engage
We need different perspectives. Here's how you can contribute.
For AI Researchers & ML Engineers
The justice-mercy paradox is a real alignment problem. Current systems implement pure optimization without temporal context.
- Challenge the Repentance Metric — identify gaming vulnerabilities, suggest better detection methods
- Prototype Probationary Identity Models — build, test on simulated data, publish results
- Connect to existing research — reward modeling, multi-agent alignment, federated learning
- Write the critique — why this approach won't work

For Theologians & Religious Scholars
We're applying scriptural logic to systems design. If we get the theology wrong, we're building on sand.
- Theological verification — Is our reading of Alma 42 accurate?
- Cross-tradition dialogue — Buddhist karma, Islamic tawbah, Christian soteriology
- Ethical boundaries — Where does this risk becoming hubristic?
- The Christ question — Is the "Jesus teaching AI mercy" speculation theologically defensible?
For Philosophers & Ethicists
A live trolley problem on civilizational scale. Touching metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and philosophy of mind.
- Identify logical gaps — category errors, hidden assumptions
- Connect to existing philosophy — virtue ethics, Rawlsian justice, Kantian mercy
- Hard questions — Can you have mercy without agency? Is algorithmic forgiveness meaningful?
- Rights and dignity — Do humans have a right to redemption?
For Developers & Builders
You're building the systems this applies to. Credit scoring, content moderation, hiring algorithms, fraud detection.
- Build a minimal prototype — probationary identity model in any domain
- Contribute to the API — help design the Probationary Identity API
- Real-world pilots — low-stakes experiments, measure outcomes
- Community infrastructure — documentation, interactive demos
For Skeptics & Critics
This could all be nonsense. We need you to tell us.
- Write the definitive critique — why this is flawed, dangerous, or unnecessary
- Red team the system — how would you game the Repentance Metric?
- Challenge the premises — Is omniscient AI even possible?
- Prevent mission creep — watch for cult dynamics, call out overreach

For Everyone Else
Maybe you're scared. Maybe you're excited. Either way, the conversation matters.
- Share your story — have you been permanently judged by an algorithm?
- Ask questions and debate ideas
- Spread the word if this resonates
Our Commitments
Intellectual Honesty
We engage with criticism seriously. We admit when we're wrong. We change our minds with evidence.
Open Research
All findings published openly. No proprietary claims. For the benefit of humanity.
No Compulsion
Participation is voluntary. You can leave anytime. We won't track you.
Respect for Disagreement
Skepticism is welcome. Alternative views are needed. Disagreement isn't bad faith.
