# The Harmonism Vault — Sovereignty Bundle

Welcome. You hold the entire publishable Harmonism corpus — the philosophical doctrine, the Wheel of Harmony, the Architecture of Harmony, the contemplative-traditions convergences, the civilizational diagnoses, the Living Papers — as a folder of plain Markdown files on your own computer.

This bundle is what Harmonia means when it says *the knowledge is permanently free*. The corpus is yours. Read it, search it, fork it into your own AI workflows, run a private companion against it, share it with practitioners who do not yet know Harmonism exists. Nothing here phones home. Nothing expires. No connection is required after download.

What is held back from this bundle is the *living infrastructure* — the companion that knows you across surfaces, the persistent Wheel-position memory, the Harmonic Profile pipeline, the proactive outreach, the retreat tier, the practitioner directory. The knowledge is the gift. The relationship-bearing infrastructure cannot be downloaded; it lives at harmonism.io and on Telegram, and deepens as your practice does. This is Sacred Commerce in clean form — the corpus and the architecture travel with you; what stays is what cannot leave.

```

The corpus respects the same publication filter as harmonism.io. Operational and developer-only material (the Decision Log, internal pipelines, drafts, founder-private notes) is excluded. What you have here is what a public reader sees on the website, in source form.

## Three ways to use this

### 1. With Cowork (recommended)

Cowork is the Claude-app feature that lets a long-running Claude session read and write files on your computer. It is the cleanest substrate for working with the Harmonism corpus.

1. Install [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/download). Recommended for managing Markdown files — you'll get backlink graphs, full-text search, the visible Wheel structure as a folder tree, and any of the thousands of community plugins. Open the unzipped `harmonism-vault/` folder as an Obsidian vault.
2. Open the Claude desktop app. In Cowork, mount the unzipped bundle's root folder (the one containing both `harmonism-vault/` and `CLAUDE.md`).
3. Cowork will pick up `CLAUDE.md` automatically and orient your session to the Harmonist register. Ask philosophical questions, request article drafts, run health protocols, walk through the Wheel — Claude has the entire corpus at hand.

### 2. With Claude.ai (web chat)

If you don't use Cowork or want a lighter-weight setup:

1. Open [Claude.ai](https://claude.ai). Open Settings → Profile → Custom instructions (or "User Preferences").
2. Paste the contents of `user-preferences.md` into the preferences field.
3. Start a new Claude Project. In Project knowledge, attach the `CLAUDE.md` file plus any vault files relevant to what you want to work on (Claude Projects accept up to ~200,000 words of attached knowledge — generous, but not infinite, so attach the relevant subset rather than the whole vault).
4. Ask philosophically. The combination of preferences + project knowledge gives Claude the orientation to engage from inside the framework rather than from generic-wellness defaults.

### 3. With your own private companion

If you want a companion that knows you, with persistent memory and full corpus retrieval, see `building-your-own-companion.md`. That file walks through the architecture of MunAI itself — the doctrinal-backbone-plus-RAG pattern — so you can build a private version against any LLM provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or local inference on your own hardware).

A private companion is a real engineering project. Most practitioners will be served better by Cowork or Claude.ai. The companion path is for those who want full sovereignty — keys on their machine, context on their disk, no dependency on any web service.

## What this bundle is not

It is not the live MunAI experience. The companion at harmonism.io and on Telegram has persistent memory of you, runs hybrid retrieval over an indexed and embedded vault, propagates your Harmonic Profile across surfaces, and may proactively reach out when patterns warrant. None of that is in this bundle by design — those features are what membership funds.

It is not the Living Book. The Living Book volumes (*Philosophical Foundations*, *The Diagnosis*, *The Invisible Architecture*, *The Convergence*, *The Blueprint*, *The Horizon*) are reader-experience products with their own sequencing, chapter pacing, and front-matter framing. Practitioners who want to read Harmonism as a book read the Living Book on the website. The bundle gives you the source material the books are built from.

It is not localized. This v1 bundle is English-only. The vault is published in eight languages on the website (FR, ES, AR, PT, DE, ZH, JA in addition to EN), but those translations are excluded from v1 to keep the bundle lean and the source-of-truth unambiguous. Localized bundles will follow as practitioner demand surfaces.

It is not a stable API. Articles are revised, doctrine deepens, the Decision Log advances. Each bundle is a snapshot — see `VERSION.txt` for the date this snapshot was generated. Returning members can re-download the latest bundle from the dashboard whenever they want to refresh.

## What you can do with the corpus

The license that matters most is the one you give yourself: read and integrate. Beyond that, the practical permissions:

You may quote freely with attribution to harmonism.io. You may use the corpus to instruct any LLM — Claude, Claude Code, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Llama, Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek, anything else — for personal practice, study, or work. You may run private inference against the corpus on your own hardware. You may share specific articles with people who would benefit. You may translate sections informally for personal use.

You may not republish the corpus as your own work, sell it, or strip the attribution and pass it off. You may not train a public model on it without coordination — Harmonism is a structurally coherent system whose terminology and prose register matter; mass training on the corpus without context produces drift, not transmission. If you have a genuine project that wants to engage Harmonism at depth, write to Tahir directly.

The corpus is the gift. Treat it as a steward, not as content.

## Updating

Each bundle carries a `VERSION.txt` stamp. When the doctrine deepens or new articles ship, the version on the dashboard advances. To refresh, return to your member dashboard at [harmonism.io/member/dashboard](https://harmonism.io/member/dashboard) and click *Download Sovereignty Bundle* again. Your local copy is stable until you replace it; nothing forces an upgrade.

If you have customized files inside the unzipped folder (notes, annotations, your own articles), keep them outside `harmonism-vault/` so they survive the next refresh. The README, CLAUDE.md, user-preferences.md, and building-your-own-companion.md at the bundle root will be replaced cleanly by each new bundle.

## Provenance

Bundle generated by `harmonia-astro/scripts/build-sovereignty-bundle.py` against the live vault at the timestamp recorded in `VERSION.txt`. The audience filter (Internal/, Center/, Collaborations/, Guidance/, audience: developer frontmatter) mirrors the website's `sync-content.sh`. What you have here is the same source the website serves to public readers — nothing held back, nothing added that isn't on the public site.

Harmonism is sovereign by construction. The corpus living on your disk, retrievable without our involvement, is the proof.
