Core defines the model. Perspectives tests its consequences. A Perspective does not need to answer a common reader question or reach a conclusion. It needs a proposition worth thinking through.
These pages are living. They can become stronger, weaker, more complicated, or be abandoned. When a new Core is published, the then-current Perspective set is frozen beside it as historical context.
Arguments we want to keep pushing.
The labels are loose navigation, not a permanent taxonomy.
Before Redistribution
Worker-owned augmentation and the case for UBI
If workers can retain a share of automation gains at the point they are created, some pressure for redistribution may be reduced — without making social safety nets obsolete.
Read Perspective →Beyond the Four-Day Week
Shorter work as a productivity curve, not one fixed schedule
Time+ suggests a different route to shorter work: working time could fall progressively as verified personal augmentation takes on more of the productive burden.
Read Perspective →Retirement Without the Cliff
When productive capability gradually replaces required human hours
A mature + could make retirement less like a sudden exit and more like a long transfer from required human work toward optional participation.
Read Perspective →When Labor Becomes Capital
Taxation when a worker owns productive augmentation
Worker-owned augmentation blurs familiar boundaries between labor income, tools, business assets and capital-supported income.
Read Perspective →Collective Rights in an Individual-Augmentation Economy
Why personal ownership may still need collective bargaining
If Time+ is negotiated only person by person, bargaining power may overwhelm ownership. Collective rules could make individual augmentation genuinely protective.
Read Perspective →Who Owns What the AI Learns?
Carry the learning, not the library.
The + should carry derived professional capability without becoming a portable copy of protected employer information, and it should keep enforcing that boundary when future employers interrogate it. Portability is both an abstraction problem and an access-control problem.
Read Perspective →Learning Alongside Your +
Education when professional augmentation can accumulate for decades
If a + can compound across a career, education may need to teach not only knowledge but how to build augmentation without surrendering independent competence.
Read Perspective →The Augmentation Divide
How worker-owned AI could reduce inequality — or compound it
Personal productive capital sounds democratizing only if people can actually access the models, education, compute and opportunities needed to build it.
