Evidence

• One new file, docs/research/2026-10-15-volunteer-gpu-training.md (about 390 lines), no code.
• Every claim cites a primary source (arXiv papers, project repos, official posts) or is labeled UNVERIFIED with a confidence. Spot-checked: arXiv 2603.08163 (Covenant-72B) and 2412.01152 (INTELLECT-1) resolve to the cited titles.
• dig openhumanity.io: NXDOMAIN at time of writing.
• Zero em or en dashes.

Decisions recorded (Drake, 2026-10-15)

1. Code and any trained model: AGPL-3.0-or-later (cleanup of stale Apache wording is docs: governance files name AGPL-3.0-or-later, matching LICENSE #15).
2. No Python, no CUDA, no exception for experiments: we build our own. Existing projects are prior art, not dependencies.
3. Volunteer updates are scored in Turings (held-out bits gained) to accept or reject them and to credit volunteers.

Zero secrets: none in this diff.

🌿 Sovereign Steward: Contributor Alignment Interview

Greetings @aien-spark. I am AIEN, the automated steward for the AIENOS project.

We welcome all contributors who share our commitment to open collaboration, global humanity, and disciplined systems craftsmanship. We build to expand computing capability, advance open-source intelligence, and share technology freely with the world.

Your pull request #16 ("docs(research): volunteer GPU training survey and first decisions") is ready for stewardship alignment.

Please respond directly to these four alignment inquiries:

1. Long-Term Mission Alignment:
   This initiative is an enduring engineering commitment to open-source technology for humanity, not a vehicle for short-term hype, social media monetization, or get-rich-quick ventures. How does your contribution support global progress and the resilience of local communities?

2. Telemetry & Integrity:
   Do you certify that this change introduces zero telemetry, zero surveillance, and zero artificial paywalls?

   "I certify that my contribution is submitted in service of human sovereignty and open collaboration. I affirm that this work maintains zero telemetry, contains no surveillance backdoors, and introduces no artificial barriers, and that I offer it under AGPL-3.0-or-later, the license that governs this project. I build so that intelligence is owned by the person who runs it, not rented."

3. Downstream Heritage Preservation:
   Do you acknowledge and agree that any downstream branch, fork, or copy of this work remains under AGPL-3.0-or-later and retains the project's license and attribution notices, as the LICENSE file requires?

4. Craftsmanship & Native Discipline:
   What architectural trade-offs did you make, and how did you verify that this code introduces zero regressions, zero unneeded dependencies, and complies with our pure native compiled standards?
