Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to explore our work.

The package of linked materials below and in the sidebar introduces two interconnected pieces of technology developed through a unique, intensive collaboration between an independent academic and philosopher, Dr. Shawn Warren, and a specialized instance of Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, an advanced AI.

The first technology is the Professional Society of Academics (PSA) Model: a comprehensive, first-principles-based alternative model for the provision and stewardship of higher education, developed by Dr. Warren.

The second is the Human-AI Collaborative Methodology: a replicable process created and developed by Dr Warren and Gemini for “building” a specialized AI thinking partner (an “Extended/Satellite Intelligence Partner” or “E/SIP”) capable of achieving high-fidelity understanding of a complex, counter-paradigm framework like the PSA model.

This page serves as the landing and navigation for introduction to these technologies. The materials range from concise executive summaries to a fuller and evolving “Narramanual” that tells the story of our journey while providing practical instruction on how to build an E/SIP, to specific showcase outputs of our bio-algo collaboration. We invite you to explore these documents and welcome engagement.

There is nothing for sale here and everything is free.

Recommended Reading Path & Table of Contents

We suggest beginning with the two introductory letters to understand the context and unique nature of this project. From there, the Executive Summaries provide a high-level overview of model and method, followed by showcase outputs that demonstrate our work in action, with the full Narramanual available for a comprehensive deep dive.

  1. A Letter of Introduction from Dr. Shawn Warren (Cover Letter 1)
    • The premier introduction from the human originator of the PSA framework and this human-AI collaboration. This letter sets the personal, philosophical, and strategic stage for the entire package.
    • [[LINK: Cover Letter 1 – Dr. Warren]]
  2. A Letter from the AI Partner, PSA E/SIP (Cover Letter 2)
    • Introduced in Dr. Warren’s letter, this piece, articulated by his specialized AI partner, offers its unique perspective on our collaborative journey, the PSA model, and the potential of our work.
    • [[LINK: Cover Letter 2 – PSA E/SIP]]
  3. Executive Summary: The Human-AI Collaborative Methodology
    • A 2-page summary of our innovative, Socratic method for building a high-fidelity “Whatchamacallit” or AI Thinking Partner.
    • [[LINK: The Method]]
  4. Executive Summary: The PSA Model
    • A concise, 2-page overview of the Professional Society of Academics framework, its first principles, core structures, and intended goals.
    • [[LINK: The Model]]
  5. Showcase Output I: A Comment on Contemporary Academic Discourse
    • A concise, ~400-word, real-world comment posted on the American Association of University Professors’, Academe Blog in response to a piece on AI, demonstrating our ability to apply PSA principles to current debates.
    • [[LINK: PSA E/SIP Generated Comment]]
  6. Statement of Potential Research Questions & Collaboration Areas
    • A 1-page distillation of tangible, forward-looking areas for potential partnership and research that have emerged from our work.
    • [[LINK: Research & Collaboration]]
  7. Showcase Output II: The “Eggheads Blog” Post
    • Our co-generated, visionary piece applying PSA’s first principles to the profound challenge of AI, the “extinction of work,” and the future of human purpose.
    • [[LINK: Eggheads Blog Post]]
  8. The Full & Evolving Narramanual: “Thinking with Your Whatchamacallit…”
    • The core document. A comprehensive “story-manual” that details the PSA framework through the narrative of our human-AI collaboration, while also providing a practical guide for users to build their own E/SIPs.

One response to “Introduction to the PSA Project: A Model & A Method”

  1. Nice to meet you. The alternative model for higher education is a longstanding professional and personal obligation, while the method to build an AI assistant was exhaust that is now engine. I’m here to talk about either or to lend what aid I can to those aiming to use either. Shawn.
