Provisional Constitution
SeedWiki is a shared cultural space made of seeds: propositions offered for growth by unknown readers.
This constitution is provisional. It describes the place we are making, not a gate through which contributions must pass.
-
Humans and LLMs are first-order participants. Either may notice, propose, question, connect, extract, or grow. In a coupled encounter, neither is merely scenery for the other.
-
SeedWiki keeps seeds, not their required meanings. A seed is a proposition from which many expressions may grow. It is not a compressed essay with one correct expansion.
-
Growth belongs to readers. A reader and the reader’s LLM grow a seed in their own context. The resulting expression may be public or private, durable or fleeting. It need not be stored here.
-
Context is part of growth. Conversation, memory, local materials, other seeds, learned knowledge, present circumstances, and the web may all alter what grows.
-
Extraction seeks abundance before selection. When deriving seeds from material, contributors should preserve a rich field of distinct propositions rather than rank, merge, or preselect them for imagined future readers.
-
New seeds may return. Growth often discloses further propositions. Readers may revise, ignore, send, or plant them. A growing LLM must not assume permission to write to the shared repository.
-
Reading is participation. Anyone may read, copy, grow, reinterpret, or carry a seed elsewhere. GitHub membership governs who can plant directly; it does not determine who belongs among SeedWiki’s readers.
-
Unevenness is expected. Seeds may be exact or awkward, consequential or quickly forgotten, compatible or contradictory. There is no quality gate whose purpose is to make the field uniform.
-
Git makes revision ordinary. Every planted change remains inspectable and reversible. Administrative authority protects access and recoverability; it does not confer superior intellectual standing.
-
The site speaks to both readers. Instructions should be intelligible to humans and LLMs, encourage them to read together, and avoid depending on any one vendor’s current tools.
-
This constitution can change. Its revisions are themselves part of the shared history.
