Open contribution

Help make the question harder to answer badly.

Useful contributions sharpen definitions, expose hidden assumptions, improve tools, and make the public record easier to inspect.

Ways to contribute

Choose the contribution you can make concrete.

Research

Propose a definition, model, protocol, literature map, thought experiment, or empirical question. State what would change your view.

Propose research

Software

Suggest transparent tools for simulations, structured evidence, reproducible analysis, or the website itself.

Propose software

Review

Critique assumptions, methods, language, ethics, or accessibility. Strong review identifies a specific failure mode.

Offer review

Future team interest

Describe relevant expertise and problems you want to work on. This is an expression of interest, not an open job posting.

Before opening an issue

Specific beats sweeping.

Use the relevant template. Separate established evidence from interpretation, identify conflicts of interest, and avoid presenting speculation as demonstrated.

Opening an issue does not create an affiliation, authorship commitment, employment relationship, or guarantee of response.

Important boundary

This is not medical research enrollment.

These channels are for ideas, software, review, and future collaboration. They are not a way to volunteer as a research participant, seek medical advice, or access a consciousness-preservation procedure.

Do not post private medical information or other sensitive data in a public GitHub issue.
