Foundation
Internet of Value Research Foundation
An independent research foundation stewarding the public-interest development of The Internet of Value through research, education, protocols, and fieldwork.
Why we exist
Mission
To develop language, mathematics, research, and practical institutions that make time, wellbeing, and contribution more visible in economic life.
Vision
An economy able to recognize human and community value before price, productivity, or extraction become the dominant measure.
Values
Human dignity
Economic representation should begin with lived time and wellbeing, not reduce people to output.
Public-interest stewardship
Research, protocols, and fieldwork should remain legible, accountable, and useful beyond any single institution.
Consent and restraint
Measurement should make meaningful contribution visible without demanding unnecessary exposure.
Protocol integrity
Public storytelling follows the canonical specification rather than becoming a competing source of protocol truth.
Governance philosophy
Stewardship before scale
Governance is oriented toward public-interest stewardship, protocol integrity, responsible research, and accountable institutional development. Formal board and advisory details will be published here as they are ready for public record.
Team and founding stewardship
Work with traceable authorship
Moses Sam Paul is the founding author and steward of The Internet of Value. The Foundation’s team, board, researchers, and collaborators will be identified here as their public roles are formalized.

The influences we think with
Our Moral Board connects the sixty people, works, traditions, and ideas in the Gratitude Series. It is a public-source map of influence, not a formal board, endorsement, or collection of canonical Wellbeing Identities.

Distinct roles, one research agenda
Internet of Value Research Foundation is the institutional steward. The Internet of Value is the protocol stack, book, research agenda, and wider intellectual system. Protocol definitions remain grounded in the canonical specification.

Identity & Symbol
The tilde is a restrained identity mark and the canonical marker for protocol hierarchy. It signals relation, approximation, wave, and a path home without replacing precise protocol language.
