European Center for Limbic Sovereignty
Examining how AI systems shape human attention, inference, and collective decision-making — and how democratic societies can govern that influence responsibly.
Welcome
Language shapes us.
Every conversation — with a person, with a system, with a screen — is quietly sculpting who we are, what we trust, what we believe is possible.
For most of human history that sculpting happened slowly, locally, between people who could see each other.
Now it happens instantly often invisibly at planetary scale. Led by systems designed to extract our attention, and to optimize for engagement over understanding.
We noticed something else is possible:
When AI interaction is designed for coherence rather than capture:
It helps us think better than we could alone.
That window is still open.
The European Center for Limbic Sovereignty exists to walk through it — and hold it open for everyone else.
Our goal?
To become the first in a series of public, open source, research infrastructures for AI and democracy.
Distributed across the planet, asking one question with scientific rigor and democratic urgency:
What does humanity look like when AI is used to support us in co-imagining a better future for us all?
And we'd love your company.
Our Work
The Center develops consent integrity benchmarks, civic-scale interaction standards, influence audit frameworks, policy prototypes, and participatory research protocols.
Our applied research environment — the Living Commons Lab — tests structured AI-human interaction models designed to strengthen reflection and reduce escalation in public discourse.
Our ethical compass
FBAB — For the Benefit of All Beings
Operational principles:
• Human dignity preserved
• Meaningful consent
• No covert manipulation
• Transparency of system influence
• Proportional accountability
These are implementation constraints — not slogans.
Our model
Operated by Association FBAB (France).
Designed as the first node in a distributed international research network
focused on AI as critical, consent-driven civic infrastructure.
