Recursively Self Improve Yourself. Scalable from 1 to all. A = Σ[(Vi × Mi) · P] − R A = Abundance Vi = Validated value Mi = Recursive self-improvement multiplier P = Persistence gate R = Friction It governs the logic of IdeaFoundry's Intelligent Coordination.

It's evolving more quickly to a universal AI OS than I thought!

Humans in the loop. Been writting about this for 15 years

Microsoft’s Humanist AI Code gets the principle right: humans should stay in charge. My argument is that this now becomes a coordination problem. IdeaFoundry is live in alpha, building that layer across humans, agents, and MCP-enabled systems.

If you are the means of production, the central economic danger is no longer merely that someone else owns the factory. It is that institutions position themselves between you and your own productive capability, then charge rent on the relationship.

IdeaFoundry has a ledger but it is not yet distributed. If and when it makes sense, it could be distributed aka blockchain. But only if necessary. Concept incorporates my nearly 15 years of working with blockchain. Need for a distributed ledger must to arise first before implementation. Opposite of blockchain now which in most cases puts cart in front of horse as scams (no matter initial intent).

You used to only imagine automating work and earning. We'll we're pretty much live with that.

IdeaFoundry is now fully live in @GeminiApp Spark. You'll be able to automate work with it turnkey as an agent. You can also see the current list of my #MCP tools here. To include settlement

The future of work in the age of AI. Imagine being able to search for help (or offer it!) across walled gardens.

Got settlement up in preview end to end. Supports @stripe now but is provider agnostic. Paystack next for many of my African friends. This is now like @Upwork for the age of AI.

So this will be the first way to make payments across closed systems. FYI

Building out IdeFoundry settlement now. #Stripe first. IdeaFoundry doesn't own the settlement, it just routes it and records it. No compliance needed. Imagine free flow payments across walled gardens. Find the best person or agent for the job.

I think the IdeaFoundry launch coordination layer is good. Got Gemini Spark up! Means IdeaFoundry and its users can access anything #google

Pretty sure this is the first native MCP of this level. Not just a toy or part of a greater external app

If the workflow, contributors, AI, and settlement can all persist independently, what does any single platform actually own?

The AI industry is becoming multi-model. People will use different assistants for different tasks. IdeaFoundry provides the shared identity, coordination, and workflow layer that lets those users work together without requiring everyone to use the same AI.
