Release history

v0.1 — Initial documented concept

Charter, ownership, economics, professional identity, Participant Zero and roadmap were captured as the first coherent development snapshot.

What was still missing: the model could explain worker-owned augmentation and Time+, but not yet the economic mechanism that would make employers actually return part of the productivity gain as human time.

v0.2 — The Time+ Agreement closes the bridge

The thesis gained an explicit mechanism: verified productivity gain is shared deliberately so the worker can receive durable Time+, the employer receives value, and the + can support continued development.

Why it mattered: Time+ stopped being merely a hoped-for result of automation and became part of the economic architecture.

Core 1.0 — First declared Core

The model was stable enough to name a baseline: worker-owned augmentation, employer data boundaries, verified gain, the Time+ Agreement, evidence-oriented identity and Participant Zero testing.

The complete Perspective set as it existed on 19 August 2026 was frozen beside the Core so later readers can see the wider questions surrounding the release.

Still unresolved

Portability boundaryHow to separate generalized personal capability from employer-confidential knowledge reliably.
Economic measurementHow Human Minutes Required maps to real value rather than theoretical saved time.
Durable Time+How reduced working time survives management changes while remaining workable when roles change.
Participant ZeroWhether the model can return the first 2.5 hours per week without reducing useful output.
Behind the scenes

The conversations behind the versions.

Meaningful working days get a short summary rather than raw chat.

19 August 2026

From the missing bridge to a simpler process

Time+ became an economic mechanism, UBI became a Perspective, Core 1.0 was consolidated, and the documentation process was simplified after becoming too elaborate.
