🧠 TPOCo Milestone: Preprint Published + New Visual Blueprint!

In just two weeks since sharing the draft Wikipedia article on TPOCo, we’ve hit a major milestone — the full TPOCo white paper is now publicly available on OSF Preprints! 🚀

🔍 Why a Preprint?
Wikipedia does not accept original research — and as many of you know, TPOCo is just that: an original interdisciplinary framework. To make this work visible, citable, and open for collaboration, we published the full paper as a preprint, complete with flowcharts, diagrams, and theoretical grounding.

💡 Core Insight (from the paper):

“Cooperation is the coordinated formation of a group, the joint effort to combine individual potential energy, gain a shared energy source, and structure the distribution of that energy among participants — working in specialized roles — enabling them to live, grow, reproduce, and repeat the process. No individual can achieve this alone.

This principle has operated for billions of years inside every cell of fungi, plants, and animals. It governs interactions between specialized cells within these organisms—and in some species, like ants, wolves, or humans—it also operates between organisms, extending into the complex, energy-sharing structures of human society today.”

🌐 New Visual Identity!
To support the paper and future outreach, we’ve also created the first TPOCo infographic blueprint — a minimalist pictogram showing how energy flows through cooperative systems. It’s modular, scalable, and will guide future visual storytelling across micro (cells), meso (teams), and macro (societies).

🧩 Stay tuned for future updates:

• Visual versions with ants, cells, and human teams

• Posts exploring organization, communication, specialization, and fairness

• Forum invites for feedback, ideas, and collaboration

🙌 Thank you to everyone who's followed along. This is just the beginning. TPOCo is a living framework — and your input is part of its evolution.
