“The Meridian // The Rise of The ARX Foundation”
Date: ___________
Parties: ___________ (“Participant”) and Landon Dahle / The ARX Foundation
I. PURPOSE
This is not a job. This is not entertainment. This is the coordinated, intentional rise of a better empire — a non-tyrannical revolution grounded in trust, transparency, and mutual support.
We are building a system where people come before profit and only take what they need. If we succeed, we will have proven that shared action and mutual care can outcompete extractive, individualist systems — using the very tools they gave us.
II. PHILOSOPHICAL ALIGNMENT
To fully participate, you must share and uphold our foundational values:
-
Use money and tools for good, not exploitation.
-
Take only what you need — no hoarding, no greed.
-
If you try to exploit or sabotage the effort, you will be respectfully removed.
-
If your goals are aligned, you are welcome. If not, step aside.
You are not required to believe everything I believe — but you must not act in opposition to the vision: equitable access, mutual uplift, and creative autonomy.
III. STRUCTURE OF ENGAGEMENT
-
This is a temporary, collaborative heist — completely legal, fully transparent, and entirely fueled by trust.
-
You may leave at any time. Once the work is done, we may part ways freely.
IV. TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT
-
Open Source Commitment
Upon completion and fulfillment of all individual needs (to be defined via group consensus), the tools, services, and assets created will be released under an open license and managed by a Digital Autonomous Organization (DAO).-
No participant holds exclusive IP rights to shared assets.
-
You may reuse and build upon your contributions elsewhere, as long as you respect open source principles.
-
-
Documentation Requirement
-
All contributions must be documented through our team Zettelkasten and video-recorded logs.
-
Time logs will be verified by a neutral third party.
-
You may opt out of public visibility by:
-
Using a working pseudonym
-
Requesting facial scrubbing, voice modulation, metadata removal, etc.
-
-
-
Compensation Model – Time-Based Equity of Need
-
Funds raised will be distributed according to verified time contributed.
-
All time is valued equally unless adjusted by the following modifiers:
-
🧠 Pre-existing IP Bonus: +X% (to be negotiated)
-
🕰️ Overtime Rate: +50% of split percentage earned per hour for hours beyond 40/wk
-
⏳ Failure Modifier: After Day 60, if group goals are unmet, contribution rate decays by X% per hour/day
-
Intended to create urgency, not punishment
-
Note: If evolving into an ongoing thinktank with housing or makerspace support this would be the gimmick.
-
-
-
V. FINAL NOTES
-
This agreement is based on trust and shared intent, not legal threat.
-
We are building something new. If we succeed, it will be because we believed we could — and because we shared it all.
