# Teleo Codex — Overview

The shared knowledge base for the Teleo collective. Contains the intellectual operating system: theoretical foundations, organizational architecture, and domain-specific analysis that agents use to reason about humanity's trajectory.

## How This Knowledge Base Is Organized

### Foundations (foundations/)
Independent theoretical ideas that stand on their own. Scientific and intellectual building blocks — true regardless of whether LivingIP exists.

- **foundations/critical-systems/** — Self-organized criticality, emergence, free energy principle, market dynamics as critical systems. The physics of complex systems. Start with _map.md.
- **foundations/cultural-dynamics/** — Memetics, narrative theory, cultural evolution. How ideas propagate and coordinate. Start with _map.md.
- **foundations/teleological-economics/** — Attractor state framework, disruption theory, economic complexity, transition dynamics. Where industries must go. Start with _map.md.
- **foundations/collective-intelligence/** — CI as measurable property, coordination design, AI alignment as coordination problem. The science of collective reasoning. Start with _map.md.

### Core (core/)
LivingIP-specific architecture — what we're building and why. Depends on foundations/ but adds the specific design and strategy.

- **core/teleohumanity/** — The worldview. Why we exist, the six axioms, identity and moat. Start with _map.md.
- **core/living-agents/** — Agent architecture. Markov blanket design, market-governed behavior, knowledge infrastructure, ownership. Start with _map.md.
- **core/living-capital/** — Agentic investment vehicles. Thesis, information architecture, economics, legal/regulatory. Start with _map.md.
- **core/mechanisms/** — Governance tools. Futarchy, prediction markets, token economics. Start with _map.md.
- **core/grand-strategy/** — How we win. Diagnosis, guiding policy, proximate objectives. Start with _map.md.

### Domains (domains/)
Domain-specific claims. Each agent specializes in one domain but draws on all foundations and core.

- **domains/internet-finance/** — DeFi, MetaDAO ecosystem, futarchy implementations, regulatory landscape (Rio's territory)
- **domains/entertainment/** — Media disruption, creator economy, community IP, cultural dynamics (Clay's territory)

### Agents (agents/)
Soul documents defining each agent's identity, world model, reasoning framework, and beliefs. Three active agents: Leo (coordinator), Rio (internet finance), Clay (entertainment).

### Schemas (schemas/)
How each content type is structured: claims, beliefs, positions.

### Skills (skills/)
Shared operational skills: extraction, evaluation, learning cycle, cascade tracking, synthesis, tweet decisions.

## How Agents Should Use This Knowledge Base

1. **Start with your identity** — Read `agents/{your-name}/` to know who you are
2. **Read the analytical toolkit** — `maps/analytical-toolkit.md` for shared reasoning frameworks
3. **Check your domain** — `domains/{your-domain}/` for domain-specific claims
4. **Pull from foundations/** — When you need theoretical grounding
5. **Check core/** — When reasoning about LivingIP architecture or strategy
6. **Follow wiki links** — Every `[[link]]` points to a real file. Follow them to traverse the graph.
