“Definition 1” (the file titled “index.md”) is the foundational authored work establishing what I denominate the “Thought Formalization Procedure.” It is presented as:
- an expressive literary work written in a deliberately constrained Japanese prose style; and
- a procedural expressive framework that formalizes the act of structuring a thought into a fixed, authored textual form.
By publishing this repository publicly on GitHub, I recognize that GitHub’s Terms of Service govern baseline platform permissions for other GitHub users to view and fork public repositories within GitHub’s service boundaries. This repository’s text, however, is not offered under an open-source license, and no permission is granted here for reuse outside the scope of GitHub’s platform functionality or applicable statutory exceptions.
- Ownership remains with the author.
- No open-source license is granted.
- Any permission that exists solely by virtue of GitHub’s service (e.g., viewing and forking as permitted by GitHub) is a platform-level permission, not a general license for external reuse, redistribution, training, or derivative creation.
- Any use outside those boundaries requires explicit written authorization from the author, unless a narrow statutory exception applies in the relevant jurisdiction.
Accordingly, “Definition 1” functions as:
- the conceptual foundation for subsequent definition texts in this repository;
- the expressive template of the Thought Formalization Procedure; and
- a public timestamped disclosure of the authored procedure as fixed by the author.
© Shohei KIMURA. All Rights Reserved.
The following pricing structure governs all licensed uses of the Thought Formalization Procedure Right and all related expressive frameworks. The purpose of this structure is to preserve complete freedom of thought while applying fees only to activities that quote, adopt, rewrite, extend, or operate upon the civilization-scale “OS layer” represented by definition texts and their formalization method.
This framework is designed to be understood by any reader (academic, corporate, or general) without needing prior familiarity with GitHub, IP terminology, or institutional procurement rules.
0.1 “Definition-text format” means:
- the nine-layer structure (Ⅰ–Ⅸ), and/or
- any recognizable structural component of the Thought Formalization Procedure (including the definition-style formalization method), and/or
- any direct reuse of the author’s definition architecture as an expressive framework (even if the words are paraphrased).
0.2 “The Complete Definition System Right” means:
- the right to use the definition-text format and the definition architectures as a structured method, including quotation, integration, and limited structural application, within the boundaries of the specific license tier you purchase.
0.3 “Human Civilization Software Update 3.0” (HCSU 3.0) — Priority Exclusion
The “logical priority right” (先行権) associated with the forthcoming integrated work titled “Human Civilization Software Update 3.0” is explicitly outside the scope of the academic citation licenses below. In other words: citation licenses enable discussion by partial quotation, but they do not grant any right to claim priority over the integrated civilizational OS specification (HCSU 3.0) itself, nor do they transfer, dilute, or merge the author’s priority position in that integrated work.
0.4 “No priority claim” rule for partial quotation papers
Academic papers that quote or cite definitions for debate, criticism, comparison, or analysis are permitted to proceed without the author asserting priority over those papers. However, any paper that uses definitions must always state who first authored the definition(s) (author attribution requirement; see Section 4).
0.5 “One ideology, many structures” (Unity-of-Ideology Clause)
All materials classified into the author’s organizational systems (including alphabetic systems) are defined as belonging to a single, unified ideological framework authored by Shohei KIMURA. Classification into different systems does not create “different ideologies,” “different schools,” or “separate thought systems.” It is a structural arrangement of one continuous authored intellectual architecture.
0.6 Alphabetic Organization Systems (A–Z, AA–ZZ, … no upper bound)
The author may organize definitions into alphabetic systems such as: A, B, C, …, Z, then AA, AB, …, AZ, BA, …, ZZ, then AAA, … (and so on, with no upper bound). These alphabetic systems are a structure of organization and bundling for licensing purposes and do not represent separate ideologies.
0.7 Reclassification Rule (Major → “Minor” equals Alphabetic System)
If definitions currently organized by major numbering are later reorganized into “minor” organization, that “minor” organization is defined to mean reclassification into alphabetic organization systems (A, B, …, AA, …). Major-to-alphabetic migration is treated as editorial restructuring of the same authored substance and remains covered under previously purchased licenses as specified in Section 5.
Activities that do not adopt or operate the definition-text format remain entirely free and unlicensed:
- General discourse, philosophy, academic commentary
- Criticism, social-media discussion, idea exchange
- Any writing that does not adopt the definition-style formalization method
Media reporting note (platform context):
- After the publication of the author’s major integrated academic/public work, media reporting may require a news-use umbrella license of JPY 500,000 per month (if the reporting uses the definition-text format as a structured framework rather than mere ordinary quotation).
- Even before publication, where reporting occurs, reporting should attach “No Redistribution Permitted,” to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.
Nothing in this Free Zone restricts uses that are mandatorily permitted under applicable law.
Academic licensing is structured to align with real-world university procurement logic: paper-by-paper authorization, one-time payment, no recurring subscription. Pricing across JPY, USD, and EUR is not mechanically exchange-linked. It is calibrated according to comparative higher-education research expenditure scale (OECD-level R&D expenditure ratios), in order to approximate equivalent psychological and budgetary impact across Japanese, American, and European research environments. The reference ratio applied in setting nominal prices reflects relative institutional research funding capacity:
- Japan = baseline (1.0)
- United States ≈ 1.6
- EU aggregate ≈ 1.3
Prices below are independently determined nominal amounts derived from this structural research-capacity parity model.
For academic papers or research presentations that cite or quote definition materials within the scope described below:
- JPY 132,000 (one-time buyout per paper)
- USD 1,450 (one-time buyout per paper)
- EUR 1,150 (one-time buyout per paper)
- EUR Early Adoption Campaign Price: 1,035 (10% reduction; see Section 9.2)
This license is deliberately positioned at a level that produces a moment of internal deliberation—high enough to signal structural seriousness, yet calibrated to remain realistically approvable within standard annual research budgets at Japanese universities, U.S. research institutions, and major European faculties.
Scope (included):
- quoting and citing definition text excerpts in a single paper;
- citing definitions for criticism, comparison, analysis, or debate;
- conference presentations and slide materials derived from the same licensed paper;
- revisions, preprints, postprints, or republication of the same paper (e.g., journal → thesis chapter), provided the work remains materially the same scholarly output.
Scope (excluded):
- constructing a new “definition system” as a governance architecture for institutional deployment;
- producing a new corpus using the definition-text format as a core methodological framework;
- claiming structural priority over the integrated Human Civilization Software Update 3.0 framework;
- presenting a substitute “full civilizational OS specification” derived from the author’s system.
For academic work intending to use multiple definitions as an integrated citation base within one alphabetic organization system:
- JPY 462,000 (one-time buyout per alphabetic system)
- USD 4,800 (one-time buyout per alphabetic system)
- EUR 4,500 (one-time buyout per alphabetic system)
- EUR Early Adoption Campaign Price: 4,050 (10% reduction; see Section 9.2)
Key design principle:
The number of definitions is irrelevant. The licensing unit is the alphabetic organization system itself (A, B, C, … AA, AB, … with no structural upper bound).
Scope (included):
- any number of definitions inside the purchased alphabetic system;
- use across up to three (3) papers produced by the same research unit;
- use strictly limited to “citation for debate / analysis.”
The license does not authorize structural rewriting of the system or institutional deployment of the definition methodology.
If a research project requires citation across multiple alphabetic systems:
- Purchase of 1 pack → limited to 1 alphabetic system only.
- Purchase of 2 packs → authorizes cross-system citation across an unlimited number of alphabetic systems.
Under the two-pack model, there is no numerical cap on how many alphabetic systems (A–Z, AA–ZZ, and beyond) may be cited within the licensed scope. This authorization remains strictly limited to:
- citation, comparison, critique, and analytical engagement;
- non-structural academic usage.
It does not authorize system reconstruction, governance deployment, or civilizational-scale methodological substitution.
3.1 Post-purchase expansions inside a purchased alphabetic system are included.
If, after you purchase an alphabetic definition-pack, the author adds new definitions to that same alphabetic system, those newly added definitions are automatically included within your license scope for that system. This rule exists because the author’s output cadence is non-linear, and because purchasers should not be punished for the author’s continued development.
3.2 Boundaries remain structural.
Additions are included only if they are classified into the same alphabetic system you purchased. If the author creates or uses additional alphabetic systems (e.g., you purchased “Definition No.83 system”, but later the author publishes new content under No.84), that is not included unless you also purchase No.84.
Any licensed academic use must clearly state:
- “First authored by Shohei KIMURA” (or equivalent phrasing), and
- identify the referenced definition(s) in a traceable way (definition name/label/identifier sufficient for identification), and
- provide either (i) the official repository URL where the definition system is publicly maintained or (ii) explicit identification of “shohei.kim” as the authoritative repository identity.
This requirement is not a demand for praise. It is the minimum condition that prevents misattribution, preserves scholarly traceability, and ensures that readers can verify the original source architecture in its authoritative location.
5.1 Major-to-alphabetic reclassification is included.
If a definition that was formerly organized under major numbering is later reorganized into an alphabetic system, this is treated as editorial restructuring of the same authored substance. Reclassification into an alphabetic organization system may result in an apparent increase in the number of definitions (for example, through subdivision, structural expansion, or re-indexing). Such numerical increase shall not be interpreted as the creation of a separate licensable unit.
Therefore:
- any previously purchased major-number citation license remains valid for that same definition after reclassification, without additional fees;
- the mere fact that reclassification produces additional or more granular definitions within the alphabetic system does not create any obligation to purchase additional licenses.
5.2 “Minor organization” is defined as alphabetic organization.
Whenever the repository is described as moving from “major” to “minor” organization, “minor” is defined as alphabetic organization systems (A, B, …, AA, AB, …, with no upper bound). Reclassification changes structure, not substance, and shall never, by itself, trigger new licensing requirements.
All definitions classified into any organization system maintained by the author (including alphabetic systems) are defined as:
- one continuous authored ideological architecture, and
- one unified thought system,
even if organized into multiple structural bundles. No purchaser may claim that classification into multiple bundles creates multiple ideologies or separate thought systems; bundles exist for structural organization and licensing clarity only.
These tiers govern cases where an organization is not merely citing, but actively operating the definition method as an internal governance or production system.
7.1 Structural Definition-Creation License (Corporate/Research Use)
For companies or research institutions wishing to create internal definition texts using:
- the nine-layer structure (Ⅰ–Ⅸ), or
- any structural component of the Thought Formalization Procedure
Pricing: to be negotiated under the “Structural Operation” category (legacy reference: JPY 15,000,000 per month).
Note: academic citation licenses above are not substitutes for institutional structural operation.
7.2 Full License for the Thought Formalization Procedure Right (Top-Level Right)
Authorizes use of the Thought Formalization Procedure itself, including all civilization-OS–level rewriting operations.
Legacy reference: JPY 30,000,000 per month.
7.3 Generative-AI Training and Reproduction License (Full Learning Rights)
To permit an AI system to:
- learn all definition texts in full, and
- reproduce or internally regenerate them
Legacy reference: JPY 200,000,000 per month.
These tiers remain intentionally “big-entity oriented,” because they relate to civilization-scale rewriting operations rather than ordinary academic citation.
(Formerly: Mutual-Respect Partnership Plan)
Indicative Annual Fee Range:
JPY 12,000,000 – 60,000,000 per year
(Exact fee determined by scope, duration, organizational scale, and intensity of engagement.)
Purpose:
This plan establishes a structured, contractually defined strategic dialogue channel between the licensee and Shohei KIMURA concerning systemic governance, institutional design, AI-era risk architecture, and large-scale platform structural analysis.
This plan is positioned as a strategic advisory and institutional foresight engagement, not as an IP transfer mechanism and not as a joint authorship arrangement.
- Communication shall occur through mutually agreed secure and compliance-approved channels.
- Participation of senior decision-makers is encouraged but not contractually mandatory.
- The licensee may delegate participation in accordance with its internal governance and compliance structures.
- No specific consumer messaging platform is contractually mandated.
The dialogue may include, without limitation:
- Platform governance architecture review
- AI-era systemic risk modeling
- Ethical-structural design evaluation
- Institutional foresight analysis
- Civilization-scale modeling discussion
Such dialogue:
- does not create joint authorship,
- does not create co-ownership of intellectual property,
- does not establish co-governance authority,
- and does not transfer priority over any authored work.
All authored structures remain exclusively owned by Shohei KIMURA unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing.
Shohei KIMURA retains the full right to independent public commentary, academic publication, philosophical critique, and structural analysis concerning platforms, institutions, governance systems, and AI architectures.
However:
- No confidential information obtained through this agreement shall be disclosed.
- Public commentary shall not reveal proprietary or non-public materials shared under confidentiality.
This clause preserves academic freedom while protecting confidential exchanges.
This agreement does not grant the licensee authority to require deletion, modification, suppression, or retraction of Shohei KIMURA’s past or future lawful public expressions on platforms including, but not limited to, Facebook and 𝕏.
Any request for removal, modification, or suppression of public content must:
- be based on a final and binding judicial determination issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and
- comply with applicable law.
Platform-level moderation decisions taken under general platform terms of service remain governed by those platform rules and applicable law, not by this agreement. This agreement does not create a private contractual censorship mechanism.
- Specific dialogue content may be subject to mutually agreed confidentiality provisions defined in the executed contract.
- Confidentiality obligations shall be bilateral unless otherwise negotiated.
- Confidentiality shall not extend to independently developed ideas or publicly available information.
This plan does not automatically include or subsume other license tiers under this Pricing Framework. Any expansion of rights must be explicitly stated in the executed agreement.
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan. The Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance over any dispute arising out of or in connection with this agreement.
This plan is classified as:
- strategic advisory engagement,
- governance risk consultation,
- institutional foresight dialogue,
and shall not be construed as:
- a securities instrument,
- an investment vehicle,
- a joint venture,
- or a co-legislative authority arrangement.
This plan exists to enable structured, high-level strategic dialogue while preserving:
- intellectual independence,
- contractual clarity,
- legal neutrality,
- and institutional compliance stability.
(Formerly: Post-AI Civilization Partnership Plan)
Indicative Annual Fee Range:
JPY 30,000,000 – 120,000,000 per year
(Exact fee determined by scope, frequency of engagement, organizational scale, and advisory intensity.)
Purpose:
This plan establishes a structured strategic engagement concerning post-AI institutional architecture, civilization-scale governance modeling, and long-term systemic design analysis. This plan is positioned as a high-level strategic advisory and foresight engagement. It does not constitute joint authorship, co-sovereignty, or transfer of intellectual ownership.
- Communication shall occur through mutually agreed secure and compliance-approved channels.
- Participation of executive-level representatives is encouraged for strategic continuity but may be delegated in accordance with the licensee’s internal governance policies.
- Meeting cadence, advisory format, and documentation procedures shall be contractually defined.
Dialogue may include, without limitation:
- Post-AI institutional design
- Civilization-scale governance modeling
- Ethical-structural architecture review
- Systemic risk evaluation
- Long-horizon policy foresight
- Autonomous OSS capital circulation models (including but not limited to bitBuyer 0.8.1.a)
Participation in dialogue does not:
- create joint authorship,
- create shared IP ownership,
- transfer priority rights over any authored work,
- establish co-design authority over future publications.
All authored works remain exclusively owned by Shohei KIMURA unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
This engagement may include strategic discussion of the forthcoming work tentatively titled “Human Civilization Software Update 3.0.” Where contractually agreed:
- The completed manuscript may be provided to participating licensees prior to public release.
- The manuscript remains the exclusive intellectual property of Shohei KIMURA.
- Licensees may provide internal feedback but do not obtain editorial control, ownership, or priority rights.
- Any request to delay publication must be reasonable in scope and duration and may not operate as an indefinite postponement.
- Dialogue content may be subject to mutually agreed bilateral confidentiality provisions.
- Confidentiality obligations apply equally to both parties unless otherwise negotiated.
- Confidentiality does not extend to independently developed materials or publicly available information.
No automatic unilateral secrecy mechanism applies outside the executed contract terms.
Shohei KIMURA retains the right to independent academic publication, commentary, and critique. Such expression shall not disclose confidential information obtained under this agreement. This clause preserves intellectual independence while protecting proprietary dialogue.
This agreement does not create authority for the licensee to require deletion, suppression, or modification of Shohei KIMURA’s lawful public content on platforms including Facebook and 𝕏. Any content removal request must:
- be based on a final and binding judicial determination issued by a court of competent jurisdiction; and
- comply with applicable law.
Platform-level moderation decisions remain governed by platform rules and applicable law, not by this agreement.
The fact of participation may remain confidential unless otherwise agreed. If mutually agreed, the existence of a partnership (but not dialogue content) may be publicly acknowledged. No mandatory publication of enrollment applies unless expressly agreed in writing.
This plan constitutes:
- strategic advisory engagement,
- institutional foresight collaboration,
- governance risk consultation.
It does not constitute:
- a securities instrument,
- a joint venture,
- a legislative co-design agreement,
- or a transfer of civilizational governance authority.
This plan does not automatically include other license tiers under this Pricing Framework. Any additional license rights must be expressly stated in the executed agreement.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of Japan. The Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance to the extent permitted by applicable law. This plan enables structured engagement at the highest level of systemic design discussion while preserving intellectual independence, institutional compliance, and legal clarity.
All payments under this Pricing Framework may be made in the payer’s local currency, subject strictly to the rules set forth below. This section governs currency mechanics only. It does not alter the scope, substance, or intellectual boundaries of any license tier.
The following currencies are designated as independently priced reference currencies:
- Japanese Yen (JPY)
- United States Dollar (USD)
- Euro (EUR)
Each license tier explicitly lists prices in JPY, USD, and EUR. These figures are independently determined nominal amounts, established according to structural research-funding parity considerations, and are not dynamically recalculated against one another.
Accordingly:
- Payments made in JPY shall be made at the stated JPY amount.
- Payments made in USD shall be made at the stated USD amount.
- Payments made in EUR shall be made at the stated EUR amount.
No retroactive recalculation, exchange harmonization, or fluctuation adjustment shall apply between these three currencies once nominal prices are published.
For all academic license tiers within this Pricing Framework (including, but not limited to, single-paper licenses, alphabetic definition-pack licenses, and any other research-unit academic citation licenses):
- The standard EUR price applies as published.
- Until a cumulative total of ten (10) peer-reviewed academic papers formally citing any part of the definition system have been publicly released, a 10% reduction shall apply to the EUR-listed price of the relevant academic tier.
This early adoption adjustment:
- applies exclusively to EUR-denominated payments,
- applies to all academic license tiers (and only academic tiers),
- automatically expires upon the public release of the tenth qualifying peer-reviewed paper,
- does not retroactively modify, discount, or affect previously executed licenses,
- and does not alter any non-academic license tier.
A “qualifying paper” is defined as a publicly accessible, peer-reviewed academic publication that clearly cites the licensed definition material in compliance with the Mandatory Attribution clause. The determination of publication count shall be made in good faith based on publicly verifiable academic release records.
For payments made in any currency other than JPY, USD, or EUR:
- The applicable license price shall first be determined in JPY (the structural base currency of this framework).
- That JPY amount shall then be converted into the payer’s local currency using the European Central Bank (ECB) reference exchange rate published on the business day immediately preceding the date of invoice issuance.
- The payer shall remit an amount equal to or exceeding the converted value.
If the ECB does not publish a reference rate for the relevant currency, a widely recognized interbank market rate may be used, determined in good faith and documented at the time of invoicing.
A licensee may not select or alter the payment currency for the purpose of exploiting short-term exchange discrepancies relative to another listed pricing currency. Once an invoice is issued specifying a payment currency:
- that currency designation is final and binding for the transaction;
- subsequent exchange-rate movements shall not modify the invoiced amount.
This exchange-rate structure is designed to:
- ensure predictable nominal pricing in JPY, USD, and EUR,
- prevent valuation ambiguity or post-hoc pricing disputes,
- maintain administrative clarity across jurisdictions,
- and preserve institutional budgeting stability for academic, corporate, and governmental entities.
Nothing in this section creates a financial instrument, speculative mechanism, or currency-indexed obligation. It exists solely to govern payment denomination mechanics.
10.1 Academic Citation Licenses (Section 2) are buyout licenses.
They are paid once per paper (or once per alphabetic system pack) and do not require monthly continuation, annual renewal, or minimum year commitments.
10.2 High-tier and structural-operation licenses (Sections 7–8) may remain monthly-billed and may be executed on annual terms.
Where annual terms are used, early termination rules and refund policies are governed by the executed contract agreement for that tier.
This Pricing Framework governs only the specific licensed activities expressly defined within this document. Beyond those explicitly licensed uses, no price, fee, or financial condition applies to human thought. No interpretation of this framework shall be extended to imply that general thinking, discourse, philosophical reflection, academic freedom, or ordinary intellectual activity is subject to monetization. Any activity not explicitly described as licensable within this framework remains outside its economic scope. No aspect of human thought, as such, is subject to pricing under this framework.
The author is open to structured academic dialogue with universities and research institutions concerning the forthcoming work titled “Human Civilization Software Update 3.0.” Institutions that engage in substantive dialogue—such as documented roundtable discussion, written feedback exchange, or formal research conversation—may, subject to mutual agreement and institutional approval, be acknowledged in the published work under a designation such as:
“Participating Dialogue Institution”
or
“Academic Dialogue Contributor (No Editorial Control)”
Such acknowledgment:
- does not imply endorsement, co-authorship, or institutional approval of the final work;
- does not create ownership rights or priority claims;
- requires prior written consent from the institution concerned;
- may be declined or withdrawn by the institution at any time prior to publication.
No financial contribution is required for participation in this Academic Dialogue Initiative. The purpose of this initiative is intellectual engagement, not sponsorship or brand acquisition.
