Cognitive Architecture for Civilization Builders

Location: Factor e Farm Schedule: Full-day Saturdays Duration: 12 Weeks Total Lessons: 24 instructional modules integrated with practice

Each Saturday combines:

  • conceptual instruction
  • personal development work
  • engineering practice
  • community design

Participants work on real Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) projects while developing the psychological and institutional capacities required for civilization-scale innovation.

Integration with Extreme Design/Build Sprint

Participants simultaneously participate in the **Extreme Design/Build Civilization Sprint**, where they contribute to the rapid development of GVCS machines.

Learning from the Saturday studio is immediately applied in:

  • engineering design
  • fabrication
  • institutional design
  • collaborative governance

Expected Outcomes

Participants completing the program will be able to:

  • think at civilization scale
  • collaborate in large open innovation networks
  • design economic and governance systems
  • cultivate personal and social capacities for leadership
  • contribute to the development of open source civilization infrastructure

Factor e Farm serves as the **living laboratory where theory, personal transformation, and industrial production converge.**
