Terms of Use

Experimental Nature

Athens Research operates as an ongoing experiment in collective intelligence and coordination mechanisms. Participation involves engaging with experimental systems that may change, evolve, or be discontinued as research progresses.

We make no guarantees about service availability, data persistence, or feature continuity. This platform exists to explore questions about collective cognition, not to provide stable productivity services.

Research Participation

By engaging with our platforms, you participate in research into collective intelligence, meta-cognition, and coordination mechanisms. Your interactions contribute to our understanding of how collaborative knowledge systems emerge and function.

Participation is voluntary and can be discontinued at any time. We operate under principles of open research, meaning insights derived from collective participation are shared openly for the benefit of the research community.

Intellectual Property

Contributions to our knowledge graphs and research discussions are treated as collaborative research data. Contributors retain ownership of their individual contributions while participating in the creation of collective knowledge structures.

Our research outputs, including insights about collective intelligence and coordination mechanisms, are shared openly rather than commercialized. We believe research into collective cognition should benefit the commons.

Acceptable Use

Our platforms are designed for research collaboration and knowledge exploration. Use should align with principles of good faith research participation, intellectual curiosity, and respect for other participants.

We reserve the right to modify access to experimental systems as research needs evolve. Changes will be communicated through our research notes and coordination channels.

Limitation of Liability

Athens Research provides experimental platforms for research purposes. We make no warranties about system performance, data integrity, or research outcomes. Participation is at your own discretion and risk.

Our liability is limited to the experimental and research nature of our activities. We are not responsible for any damages arising from participation in our research experiments.
