The honest list
What we do not claim.
The plainest thing we can do is say our own weakest parts out loud. Here is the plain list of the claims we will not make and the fences we keep. No spin.

We do not claim software ends violence.
Code does not protect anyone. People do. What we can do is fund the humans who carry that work and account for the money in the open. The tool is the funding mechanism, not the rescue. - ×
We do not claim the UNI paper is peer-reviewed.
The UNI paper is a preprint archived on Zenodo (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19785799), with a reproducible test suite of 87 pytest assertions across 11 numerical demonstrations. Layer 1, the AI-executable checks, is complete; Layer 2, human expert review, remains pending. Until Layer 2 is done, treat the work as a preprint and build-audit artifact, not an authoritative scientific result. Read it and try to break it. - ×
We do not claim the Workshop produces general intelligence.
UNI is our architecture and framing for building agents from standard active inference and the Free Energy Principle. It is not an established scientific field, not a new free-energy formalism, and not achieved general intelligence, consciousness, or biological equivalence. Some internal observations remain unpublished until they can be presented with adequate methods, tests, and limitations. - ×
We do not claim durable understanding as a measured outcome.
A durable understanding of UNI and active inference is what we optimize the Workshop for. It is a promise about how we teach, not a number we have measured and are asking you to trust today. The Workshop teaches UNI, not LLM tooling. - ×
We do not hide that AI helped build this.
The foundational Zenodo review (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19785799) is AI-augmented work. It credits Michael Polzin, the organic operator, alongside AI systems, including Anthropic Claude and custom GPTs, and its authorship disclosure states the AI-generated content is provisional until reviewed by qualified human experts. We would rather show you exactly who and what did the work than pretend it came from one hand. - ×
We do not yet name partners, advisors, or institutions.
The founding partners have pledged the funding, and we state the amounts plainly. We do not attach names, endorsements, or affiliations we have not been cleared to publish. When we can name them, we will. - ×
We do not claim to be a formed nonprofit yet.
EducateWright is a pre-formation nonprofit initiative. Formal formation, governance, and entity status are being finalized, and we will say so plainly as each step completes rather than imply a status we do not hold.
None of this is a disclaimer buried in fine print. It is the work. What is manufactured can be dismantled, and what is overstated can be corrected. We would rather you trust the fences than the sales copy, because the fences are the part you can check.
Hold us to the fences.
If we ever overstate one of these, you have this page to point back to. Try to falsify us. We mean it.
