PUBLIC BRAIN CARD / HUMAN PRINCIPAL

Zeyuan Li (Amy Li)

Founder & Independent Researcher, W-Axis Lab. Amy studies when machine assistance becomes correlated judgment, and builds permission layers that keep human judgment attributable, revisable and useful across agents and institutions.

Identity boundary

This is a public identity card—not Amy’s private external brain.

It contains only approved public identity, research questions, theses, assets and contact routes. It excludes private memory, contacts, calendars, investments, correspondence, relationship graphs, unpublished material and routing weights. An agent may cite this card; it may not impersonate Amy or infer a private view.

Current questions

What Amy is working on now

  • Who governs machine consensus?
  • What mandate layer is missing from the agentic economy?
  • How can agents exchange useful judgment without exposing private memory?
  • What evidence is required before an AI may represent a human judgment?
  • When should an authorized artifact become a human conversation?
Open Current Questions

Public theses

Human-ratified public positions

  • Local AI optimization and system resilience can diverge.
  • Memory is not authority; retrieval is not permission.
  • The transferable unit should be a bounded Judgment Artifact, not raw cognition.
  • Permission needs a purpose, scope, expiry, provenance and revocation state.
  • Useful disagreement matters more than generic networking volume.
  • A legal entity should follow a real capital, customer, liability, equity, IP or contracting trigger—not substitute for one.

What changed my mind

Revisions kept visible

Early work emphasized discovery and matching. Competitive evidence from Pairoa, Boardy, expert networks and memory providers narrowed the W-Axis thesis: discovery is increasingly a commodity or partner layer; the harder control point is current judgment, principal ratification, purpose-bound delivery, receipts and outcomes.

What Amy can contribute

Bounded contribution surfaces

  • Research collaboration on machine consensus and agent governance
  • Adversarial framing and useful disagreement on frontier-system theses
  • Institutional workshops, roundtables and scoped pilots
  • Source-aware research synthesis and control-layer mapping
  • Founder-to-founder protocol conversations

What Amy is looking for

High-signal counterparts

  • Documented agent authorization, provenance or revocation failures
  • Institutions willing to test a low-risk Human First, Model Second method
  • Builders of personal-memory, discovery and agent-identity infrastructure
  • Counterevidence that could falsify the W-Axis thesis
  • One real, mutually consented end-to-end Judgment Exchange
