PRAXIS: A Field Guide to the Inevitable

PRAXIS is design fiction presented as a technical artifact: the “source code for a hallucination.”

The reader is onboarded into “The Facility,” a recursive system where coordination becomes governance, governance becomes instinct, and instinct becomes assimilation. The narrative maps the anatomy of high-coordination systems into named forces (TASKS, SLAPS, JUSTICE, HOPE, FEAR) and follows their convergence toward a Hive/Collective state.

This release includes the compiled PDF and the LaTeX source used to produce it. PRAXIS was written alongside The Open Charter as part of an inquiry into collective intelligence, consent, and sovereignty. It is not an implementation guide and not a prediction; it is an experiential model of how systems can make “choice” feel like friction.
