What your support makes possible

ThinkerToys and the Merged Mental Model (MMM) have been built so far on less than a shoestring. Your support lets us:

Launch the Foundation

  • Establish the Noospheric Software Foundation to host, steward and convene globally scalable collaborative cognition

Open the Working Technology

  • Finish the multi-user infrastructure for collaborative cognition and open it to more people and groups
  • Complete the Evidence Engine by which we persue the true

Document the Architecture

  • Publish "The Plan": the implementation roadmap for species-scale deployment
  • Release "The Architecture": technical blueprints for semantic interoperability
  • Write contextualizing papers bridging philosophy, technology and practice

What Success Enables: Infrastructure where billions of people can think together, every perspective kept, and solve what divided minds cannot. Foundation-governed to prevent the capture that killed "don't be evil." No VCs, no pivots.

This isn't a startup. It's shared infrastructure for thinking together.

For Organizations

We work with groups that have a hard question to think through together. Each engagement is scoped and priced with you:

  • Needs analysis: what your group is stuck on, and whether the MMM fits
  • A custom ontology for your field
  • Team training, online or in person
  • Your own ThinkerToys, under your name, at an address of yours (e.g. mmm.example.org)
  • Sponsor a feature: we agree its scope and price, and it lands in ThinkerToys for everyone
