## Relationship to Mutual Futures

The paper is a personal invitation to examine a connected family of projects across food, health research, local compute, learning, sovereignty, culture and future habitats. It explicitly distinguishes its workbench and imaginative horizon from adopted programmes.

## Selected source locations

Pages 2 to 4: scope, public-workbench status and overall pattern. Pages 9 to 11: personal project family and integration without ingestion. Pages 17 to 21: research, the financial scenario and the C-Hour without a dollar equivalent.

## Source status and open questions

The source invites revision and disagreement. Its long-horizon designs, regional numbers, external technology claims and programme references retain their own uncertainties and dates. Its description of a personal aspiration does not establish another person's consent or participation.

## Guide and original are different

This is a reading guide, not a full transcription or replacement for the original. The public library reports whether the unchanged original is actually present in the repository. Original files in the handover bundle retain their original bytes. A proposal, an archived claim, a calculation and an independently verified fact are distinct.
