PFRG Research Library
Pre-Failure Research Group examines structural failure across technology, governance, knowledge, and public systems. These projects are separate where they need to be, while sharing a common discipline: identify the failure condition before building the remedy.
A framework for presumptive public access to historical archives, with harm-based restriction and independent review.
A physical, air-gapped repository architecture for an ungated Universal Commons.
A replacement framework built around individual learning, community transmission, and a Universal Commons.
A privacy-preserving risk and age-eligibility architecture for AI and social-platform interaction.
Local-first QR scanning utilities for desktop and Android, designed so decoding stays on the device.
Rebuilding the Declaration of Independence's four claims on an auditable, harm-based foundation with a governance architecture built to enforce it.
A sanitized case study on housing preservation, resident accessibility, and a proposed nonprofit organizational response.
A sanitized case study evaluating grant and funding pathways for a small regenerative agricultural operation.
A public-safe research framework for documenting observable solicitation mechanics without evaluating theology or profiling private individuals.
A reconstructed octopus communication research framework centered on observation, pattern analysis, controlled testing, and explicit evidence states.
A concise expert-facing brief describing the research question, proposed starting sequence, safeguards, and collaboration needs.
A note on provenance — the AI collaboration behind portions of PFRG's early research and development.
These projects do not all belong to OmniSniffer. PFRG applies pre-failure thinking across different domains, preserving the boundaries between independent systems while carrying forward recurring principles such as minimum necessary data, visible failure, distributed accountability, and resistance to capture.
