Defining the objects, policies, and boundaries that make autonomy governable
Advocates for Open, ethical AI Models

The AIM framework (Axioms of Intelligibility and Mind) was developed as a deep structural ontology—a way of describing the minimal conditions under which intelligibility, meaning, world-formation, and mind-like organization can exist. But AIM is not meant to remain purely philosophical. Under the Open Autonomous Intelligence Initiative (OAII), AIM becomes something more practical and more powerful:…

Philosophers have grappled with the the mystery of consciousness: If the brain is a system of electrical and chemical processes, where is the “artist” that produces the integrated image of consciousness? In imaging, physiology, and anatomy, we find neurons, synapses, oscillations, receptors, and networks—but no painter, no inner self directing conscious experience. The AIM framework…

The AIM framework (Axioms of Intelligibility and Mind) proposes sixteen structural principles that define the minimal conditions under which intelligibility, mind, meaning, and autonomous cognition can exist. Although AIM was developed as a formal ontology for Autonomous Intelligence and SGI architectures, it naturally raises an important question: If AIM describes the structure of intelligibility, then…

As AIM matured into a full 16‑axiom framework, it became necessary to establish an object model that implements AIM directly, rather than retrofitting SGI concepts to AIM structures. This post introduces the result of that evolution

As the AIM framework (Axioms of Intelligibility and Mind) has matured, it has become clear that it aligns far more deeply with Autonomous Intelligence (AuI) than with the traditional concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This distinction is not cosmetic—it is structural, philosophical, and central to understanding what AIM actually is. This post explains why AIM…
