Where Kosplora is going
To prepare learners for changing human roles in an increasingly automated society, Kosplora would emphasize simulation, worldbuilding, interdisciplinary inquiry, and creative experimentation to inspire learning through curiosity, intrinsic motivation and cross-pollinated avenues of understanding and experimenting with the bounds of reality.Bentley Moon
Kosplora is being built so that what a person learns, wherever they learn it, ends in work someone else can check and recognise. The drawings below show how much of that exists today: solid is built, dotted is built in part, hatched is not built.

From a question to work that counts elsewhere
A question
Every one of the 14 routes starts from a question someone could actually ask.
Built
Sources and tasks in order
Fixed stops, each with its time, its task and its dated sources.
Built
Something that can correct you
An outside counterpoint, a person or a test on every route.
Built
Work you keep
Every route ends in something you made, kept with its sources.
Built
Checked against a published standard
9 of the 14 routes name the standard the work is checked against.
Built on some routes
Recognised elsewhere
No school, employer or other partner assesses the work yet.
Not built
Into AI safety from every field
10 of 16 fields have a route of their own. Kosplora builds the first stage and the route from each field; courses and fellowships run by other organisations cover the rest and are linked from the routes page.

What the site holds now
- 700 learning resources in the library, each with its Values Commons record.
- 175 outside resources in 6 compendiums, each read at its own page with its licence as stated.
- 14 learning routes, each a file you can download and change.
- twenty simulations running in your browser.
- Experiments, from here and the rest of the family.
Next, in order
- Routes for the fields still hatched above, starting with design, whose draft waits for review, and philosophy.
- Level, format and licence for each library record, read from the resource’s own pages.
- A study planner: a question and the time you have, matched against the routes and the library without AI, saying plainly when nothing fits.
- A partner who recognises the published standards the routes already name.
