MASTERMIND COUNCIL

Ideas with a trail back to the source

Prepared knowledge.
Visible foundations.

Our libraries bring together selected public ideas so a conversation can begin without researching a mentor on the spot. Each documented idea points to identified source material and retains its qualifications.

26 mentor libraries · 520 documented ideas · 224 source references

What a library contains.

A library contains a description of its coverage, notes on the mentor’s approach, original summaries of documented ideas, possible applications and limits. Cards link to their supporting sources. The conversation model receives this prepared material; the renderer derives source links from valid cards belonging to that mentor.

A valid card reference establishes where an idea came from. It does not prove that every new AI application is correct, or that the person would have offered that answer. Read the original material when a distinction matters.

Authorship and context matter.

An interview answer is distinguished from an interviewer’s question. Coauthored work and institutional explanations retain their authorship. Historical publication, later archival publication and a person’s lifetime are different dates; a later archive does not create later-life views.

Traditional figures require additional care. Gospel passages, early Buddhist discourses and the Dao De Jing are identified as transmitted or attributed texts with named translations. They are not presented as recordings or certain verbatim historical speech.

Finite coverage. Honest gaps.

The libraries do not claim to contain all public information, all books or everything a mentor has ever believed. They are curated material with explicit limits. When an answer is unsupported, the portrayal should acknowledge the gap rather than invent a view or claim new research.

AI replies are original interpretations. We do not publish fabricated quotations, private memories or an assertion that these people participate in or endorse Mastermind Council.
