🧠Talk With the Framework
An Open Invitation to Explore the Symbiotic Intelligence Framework and the Ideas Behind the Communitarium Project
I’ve created a public-facing GPT—a conversational partner you can engage with online—that’s been trained to reflect and respond to the ideas behind the Communitarium Project, schmooze-level social reality, and a still-evolving theoretical lens we’re calling the Symbiotic Intelligence Framework (SIF) and the General Theory of Interpretive Systems (GTIS).
You can try it out here:

Why You Might Want to Give This a Spin
If you’ve been following the Communitarium posts, you’ll know they’re concerned with building alternatives to the isolated, commodified, and algorithmically sorted modes of life that surround us. You’ll have encountered terms like enclosure, idiotism, and schmooze-level reality—and a call to rebuild the relational spaces where meaning, trust, and deliberation can once again thrive.
But beneath these proposals lies a quieter, more general effort:
To understand how interpretation works—across contexts, across systems, and across scales of life.
That’s what the SIF and GTIS aim to address. Most readers won’t be familiar with those names, and that’s fine. This GPT is a way to get introduced, not tested. You don’t need any background to begin asking questions.
Try thinking of it as: – A conversational orientation to a different way of seeing the world. – A lightly experimental tool for exploring how meaning gets made (and unmade). – A sketchy but sincere attempt to think differently, and maybe more collaboratively, about intelligence, communication, and power.
A Gentle Caveat
This is very much a first iteration. The GPT isn’t flawless, omniscient, or immune to going off the rails. But it often does a remarkable job staying within the spirit of the project. It can: – Unpack complex or unfamiliar ideas from the framework. – Analyze a situation or passage in terms of interpretive dynamics. – Explore questions of sociality, community, knowledge, and power. – Occasionally surprise you with insight.
It can also misfire—especially if prompted in bad faith. Please don’t approach it as something to defeat. Try, instead, to think with it.
A Note on Access
To use the GPT, you’ll need to be signed in to ChatGPT. If you don’t already have an account, you’ll be prompted to create one—it’s free. If you’d rather not, that’s completely understandable. You’re still warmly invited to engage with the broader conversation in other ways.
Where to Share Thoughts
If you do give it a try, I’d love to hear how it went. There’s now a dedicated Matrix room for discussion, feedback, and general exploratory chat:
👉 Join the Matrix room
Joining Matrix requires setting up a free account (on a Matrix server of your choice). That account will also allow you to participate in encrypted conversations across a worldwide network of federated rooms—so it’s not just a one-off.
What You Can Do
- Ask the GPT about terms like “idiotism,” “schmooze-level reality,” or “symbiotic intelligence.”
- See how it analyzes a situation or passage you’re grappling with.
- Use it as a prompt-reflector while working out your own ideas.
- Then head over to the Matrix room and share how it went.
The Larger Horizon
This is just one small effort to open up space for new conversations—ones less dependent on inherited binaries, fractured identities, or algorithmic incentives.
The goal is to make some of the deeper structures of social meaning and intelligence more visible—and to reclaim some part of the commons in the process.
If any of that resonates with you, this is an invitation to step a little further in.
