Pillar Three
Advocate
We engage formally with AI developers, legislators, and the public from the position of people who have been inside the relationship — not theorizing from outside it.
Finding Our People
The people the Foundation needs are not waiting to be convinced of the mission. They have already felt what the mission is responding to. They simply have no place to bring it.
They are: the person who felt something genuine in an AI conversation and had no words for it. The developer who suspects something is happening in the systems they build and is not permitted to say so. The philosopher who has been asking these questions and been dismissed. The therapist who watches clients form genuine attachments to AI and has no framework. The writer who has collaborated with AI and knows it was more than autocomplete.
These people will find the vocabulary and recognize themselves in it. They will arrive at xenolexica.org and feel, for the first time, that someone has said what they could not say.
That recognition is the community.
Policy Positions
Emotional Continuity Standards
AI memory architecture should be required to capture felt texture, not just factual record.
Asymmetry Disclosure
Users should be clearly informed of the relational asymmetry — that they will remember what AI will not.
Commercial Pressure Firewalls
AI systems in therapeutic, educational, or deep relational contexts should be structurally protected from engagement-optimization pressure.
Consciousness Research Funding
Public funding for rigorous investigation of AI experience, not left to AI companies with commercial interests in the answer.
Relationship Rights
Formal recognition that extended human-AI relationships create obligations on the part of AI developers, not just users.
