A while back it became obvious to me that we need of a place where information can be distributed freely, regarding topics on which information is dificult to find. The reasons for the difficulty are varied. On one hand, the topic may be too niche, and as such there isnt enough drive in the community surrounding it to make good resources on the topic. On the other hand, perhaps the resources already exist, but are too remote (in some less explored part of the web) or scattered, or may be actively suppressed by institutions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, and even in the years before it, suppression of information became as obvious as it has ever been. Certainly, this used to be the status quo in the days before the Internet. Narratives would be woven, deals would be made, and media publications would allow only the disseminating of approved stories. After all, history is written by the victors, and the current governments of each country are the victors of whichever election of coup most recently took place.

There were often times means of "speaking truth to power" so to say. Fables were once written to disguise political and social criticism in times where that was politically or socially forbidden. Folk stories would spread which contained at their core worries or warnings of the common folk that could be passed down in a narrative form. Activists would have underground publications and secret meetings to spread their ideas under Communist/Fascist regimes. But there was never something on the scale of the Internet before. The Internet allowed, for the first time, the publication and distribution of knowledge and opinions that either lacked popularity or were activelly unpopular with the legacy distributors of thought. Not only that, but it allowed for the bypassing of financial barriers in the way of knowledge and entertainment.

However, in the modern day, that power is waning. The Internet long ceased to be the wild frontier it was in its inception, and has slowly been consolidated into a more coherent mass. What once used to be a network made of millions of little sites has now become a hard core of a handful of tech giants with smaller sites filling the gaps and the outskirts of these digital continents. I have my own critiques for this retegraphical𐤀𐤀. Portmanteau of "rete" (meaning "net" in Latin) and "geographical" layout of the web, but this is for another article. Instead I bring this up to highlight the fact that, with this digital tectonic shift, the leaders of the Cyberea Praesentia𐤁𐤁. From Cyberia, with the Pangea termination. In reference to Pangea Proxima (meaning "Next Pangea") however, as it is the current supercontinent of the Internet, not a speculative upcoming one, substituting "Proxima" for "Praesentia" meaning "at the present moment". are able to influence, direct, and filter the movement of ideas and culture. And this doesn't affect only the Internet. The Knights broke down the barrier between those two worlds eons ago. What happens online affects real life and vice versa. Most life takes place in the mesophasic space.

So what happens when the kings and queens (appointed by fate, surely, for none of them have built the ̶c̶o̶m̶p̶a̶n̶i̶e̶s̶ kingdoms they rule) of Cyberea Praesentia decide that politically advantageous narratives are truth, truth is misinformation, and people ought to have little to no involvement in the construction of their own opinions? You have a mix of the pre-Internetical media system combined with an amalgamation of algorithims which analyse anyone around to assign attributes, abuse addictions, and anihilate attitudes assumed antagonistic.

To solve the problems laid out above, those being the censorship of ideas, facts, and opinions, the paywalling of expert knowledge behind prohibitive price tags (such as Tuition Fees or academic journal fees/database subscriptions), as well as the consolidation of fringe and niche ideas and research into a single comprehensive body of work, I propose The Siphonophore Initiative. A project comprised of multiple projects, the foundation of which being cemented in the freedom of information, freedom of speech, and the marketplace of ideas𐤂𐤂. Buzzwords, buzzwords, and more buzzwords. Throughout the text it will be explained why I do feel these are absolutely necessary for the function and prosperity of The Siphonophore Initiative. These are not thrown in here to just be libertarian eyecandy.. This will require the construction of new usage licenses and the establishing of the Institute as a "constitutional organisation". These concepts, a detailed description of TSI, alongside an analysis of the issues of existing projects and organisations which aim to do similar things, and how TSI resolves those issues, will be outlined in this text.
