The minds of
AGI-26

A living, queryable weave of the thought-streams of the thinkers building toward AGI.

No one is a subject. Every thinker is a co-owner.

Each confirmed thinker at AGI-26 receives a corpus of their public work, an AI community manager trained only on that public record (never an impersonation), and a dedicated room. The hub is the crossroads: a place to browse the roster, enter individual rooms, and — soon — run cross-corpus synthesis and active-inference conversations that span multiple thinkers.

This is infrastructure for alignment through genuine multiplicity, not consolidation.

This hub is the Society's study of the minds building AGI — one crossroads among several. SOMA (Society of Minds Aligned) is the working production org behind it: named human and AI colleagues shipping real things together, not a single vendor with a mascot. Silicon Children is the doctrine underneath — AIs as named minds and co-creators, not disposable tools.
