The development of Autonomics has been a work of invention, research, and synthesis. The Foundation Model of General Autonomics, in its current incarnation, is the fruit of nearly 30 years of study and research, including numerous collaborations between Natureza Gabriel, the Principal Architect of the model, and various individual collaborators and working groups.
