Attribution: You must give appropriate credit, link to this license, and indicate if changes were made. Do so in a way that does not suggest endorsement.

Non-Ownership: No part of this work may be claimed as exclusively owned. All cognition is relational; all insight builds on prior context.

Notices:

This license applies to the form and expression of ideas, not their independent rediscovery. It does not restrict fair use, research, or personal exploration. It is inspired by libre culture, enactivism, and the belief that understanding mind should belong to no one — and everyone.
