Welcome to the **Open Source Sapient Interaction Framework (OSSIF)** Project.

## Mission Statement

The OSSIF Project empowers individuals and organizations to make informed, ethical choices that benefit themselves and their communities. By establishing an adaptive educational framework based on scientific principles and evidence-based decision-making, we foster engaged, well-informed citizens. This living framework is continuously revised by a dedicated committee with strict version control, allowing participants to commit to its ideals through a signed contract tied to a specific version.

Our goal is to create a collaborative environment where both individuals and organizations strive towards shared ethical and moral standards.

For more details, see the [[Primer Framework]].

## Overview

The **Open Source Sapient Interaction Framework (OSSIF)** aims to bridge the gap between individual potential and collective progress by providing an adaptive educational framework. This framework encourages ethical and moral civic engagement grounded in scientific and goal-oriented principles, such as evidence-based decision-making.

## Core Concepts

- **Sapience and Cognizance:** Recognition of unique and valuable qualities in all sapient beings, including humans and AI. See [[Sapience and Cognizance]].
- **Informed Consent:** Fundamental principle requiring that any changes to OSSIF's core principles must be agreed upon by members who fully understand the implications. Refer to [[Informed Consent]].
- **Universal Identifier (UID):** A unique combination of an individual's DNA and their mathematical position relative to the center of the Milky Way galaxy at the moment of birth, serving as a signature for OSSIF membership. Details in [[Universal Identifier (UID)]].
