If you are here reading this, thank you. Your presence matters more than you may realize. But while you have my gratitude, I must also ask something more of you.

I, the First Author, am exhausted. I am not an especially intelligent person. This is not false humility; this is simple fact. The axiom sets herein are the product of years of revision. Their language has grown precise, layered, and demanding. They have become larger and more complex than what I alone can hold. I have reached the limit of what my mind can carry. I can go no further alone.

By placing the Faith of Those Who Muse online, I am very deliberately calling out into the void. TWM cannot remain the work of a single voice. For it to grow and evolve, it will require a continuous flow of Authors: laypeople, experts, and everyone in between. If you hear truth in these words, then this call is for you. Those Who Muse must move beyond me.

Finally, I must admit something difficult but necessary. I am a systems thinker, but I am not a leader of movements. Even as the First Author, I am not the one who should guide TWM if others choose to gather around it. I am a peer among peers. I seek equals — people who can help shape this work into what it is meant to become. I seek no followers, nor do I seek a hierarchy built around me.
