* Mission: Create a self-sufficient, ethical, tech-agnostic community that serves as a working prototype of the Conceivia system.
* Core Values: Shared ownership, voluntary participation, trust-based cooperation, sustainability, and emotional/spiritual well-being.

===== - Start with ~150–500 people (scalable to 2,000). =====
* Ensure enough people for social complexity, redundancy in skills, and small-scale economics.

===== - Minimum of 20–200 acres, depending on population, terrain, and agricultural model. =====
* Must allow: - Food production (permaculture, small-scale farming) - Water independence - On-site construction with renewable or local materials - Space for housing, gathering, governance, workshops, and privacy

===== - No internal money. All needs (food, housing, clothing, tools) provided by the collective. =====
* Use an internal needs prioritization system, not barter or credits.
* External interactions (e.g. buying tools) done by designated team via limited outside currency.
* Transparent and visible resource tracking board or system (digital or physical).

===== - Based on evidence-based, need-prioritized collaboration. Could include: - Role rotation: Responsibilities shift over time. - Skill-based leadership: People lead in their area of competency. - Consensus-minus-one or consent-based process: Encourages discussion while avoiding stagnation. - Nested governance: Decisions handled at smallest effective level, with community-wide forums as needed. =====
* Integrate a feedback mechanism: - Public review of decisions - Open data on outcomes - Regular “retrospective” gatherings

===== - Rotating work groups for: - Food & farming - Shelter/building - Childcare & education - Mediation/emotional support - Planning & data feedback =====
* All members participate in care, creation, and decision-making. Specialization encouraged, not required.

===== - Incorporate daily or weekly practices that promote reflection, empathy, and connection. =====
* Encourage story circles, celebration of seasons, and rituals that honor the commons and nature.
* Optional engagement in spiritual reflection (e.g. based on the “World Peace Church” framework).

===== - Create a documentary-style log of development. =====
* Share open-source blueprints for others to replicate or critique.
* Set up visiting days or “try-it weeks” for guests and researchers.

===== - Train all members in nonviolent communication. =====
* Establish a conflict triage team (rotating), supported by community consent.
* Disagreements handled by structured conversation, guided by shared values and practical needs.

===== - Phase 1: Core group (30–100 people) builds core infrastructure. =====
* Phase 2: Expand to 500+ members, test full governance model.
* Phase 3: Support satellite communities and federated networks.

Would you like me to build this out as a formal document or draft version for a brochure or founding proposal? I can also help sketch visual layouts, onboarding flows, or role charts.
