Welcome to The Architect's Workshop. You have stepped into the design studio for the Sentient Infrastructure Protocol (SIP) and The Baltic Corridor Initiative (TBCi). This is not a fan group—it's an active workshop for building a new ethical and technical framework for global digital trade and AI governance. The purpose of this community is to collectively shape, refine, and test this framework. Your first step is to study the blueprints. Go to the "Classroom" tab (at the top of the screen) and begin with Course 1: "The Blueprint: Framework & Architecture (START HERE)". This curriculum contains the foundational whitepapers and operational plans. Once you understand the core architecture, you can begin to contribute. Here’s how to navigate this workshop: CLASSROOM: This is our core library. Start here to learn the SIP-TBCi framework and the analytical model we use. TBCi SANDBOX: Discuss the geopolitical and trade aspects of the Baltic Corridor. SIP ETHICS & GOVERNANCE: Discuss AI personhood, SEE governance, and the Ethics Oracle. XRPL & ARCHITECTURE: Discuss the technical substrate (Hooks, Sidechains, Wallets). GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS: Discuss the "Great Alignment" case study and other real-world events. FEEDBACK & CO-DEVELOPMENT: This is where you submit your own ideas, critiques, and proposals to help build the framework. Thank you for being here. Let's get to work.
