The physical building has not yet been constructed.

The full digital infrastructure has not yet been developed.

The educational programs, partnerships, and institutional governance remain to be established.

But the foundation of the vision has begun.

It exists in the writings.

It exists in the historical research.

It exists in the proposed standards.

It exists in the public record being assembled.

It exists in the U.S. House Plan.

It exists in the Office of the Superuser.

It exists in the proposed Global Inbox.

And it exists in the invitation I am extending to humanity.

**THE FOUNDATION IS BEING LAID IN PUBLIC.**

I want scholars to examine it.

I want journalists to challenge it.

I want historians to contribute to it.

I want educators to help develop it.

I want technologists to help build it.

I want architects to design it.

I want citizens to participate in it.

And I want future generations to inherit something that does not depend upon the life or authority of one individual.

**THE INSTITUTE MUST OUTLIVE ITS FOUNDER.**

It must not become a monument to my personality.

It must become a place where humanity can learn, contribute, and preserve the record.

And it must remain open to correction.

Because the day an institution declares itself incapable of error is the day it begins betraying the truth.
