Fueling the Engine of Creation: A Modern Patronage Model

My core mission is to invent, build, and give away powerful tools that break down barriers and empower creators. The Perceptual Grid Engine and the Automated Film Pipeline are the first of many such inventions I plan to release into the public domain.

This "Generosity Gambit" is a strategic choice, but logic dictates that even the most powerful engine requires fuel. To ensure this work can continue, I have established a sustainable and transparent patronage model.

The Innovator's Dilemma: Fueling the Engine

Innovation is an expensive process of prototyping, testing, and refining. My goal is to invent full-time, but that requires resources to live and to fund the very work I intend to give away. To solve this, I am creating a direct link between my work and the community that benefits from it, removing the traditional gatekeepers of funding.

The Solution: A Modern Patronage Model

These NFT collections are the mechanism for that model.

Each piece is more than a collectible; it is a direct investment in the mission. Your support is the fuel for the engine. It funds the research, development, and prototyping that allows me to continue inventing and bringing these new systems to life for the public good.

Beyond Code: The Vision for Scientific Discovery

This mission is not limited to software. I also have novel scientific theories I intend to test through formal experimentation. Your support will help fund access to private labs, allowing me to run these experiments and publish the results for peer review—regardless of the outcome. This commitment to transparent, unbiased truth is at the heart of all my work.

Become a Patron of Innovation

If you believe in this mission and want to become a foundational patron of future open-source technology and transparent scientific research, you can explore the collection and support my work here.
