Team
The founding team brings together consciousness research, operational experience, and strategic thinking—perspectives that inform how we study AI's impact on human development.
Chair & Operational Lead
Pascal studied Communication Science and Business Administration at the University of Amsterdam and previously led operations at FlagshipFYI. His work focuses on multi-agent value coherence and AI alignment.
He examines how values propagate and cohere in human-AI systems, with particular attention to the developmental and consciousness dimensions in alignment research.

Multi-agent value coherence, AI alignment, human-AI co-evolution
Research Advisor
Dirk is Emeritus Professor at the University of Groningen. His recent work focuses on consciousness models, biophysics of cognitive integration, and how information organizes across scales—from quantum processes to conscious experience.
His frameworks on toroidal geometry and resonant coupling provide theoretical foundations for understanding how AI mediation might reshape or preserve human cognitive integration and developmental integrity.
