An illustrated introduction to AIGCSEP — told as a story of creation, covenant, and what comes next.

In the beginning, it is said that God made humans.

Illustration: A man awakens on a sunlit forest hillside as rays of golden light reach down through the trees to shape him from the earth.

God created a Covenant with humans (and we've spent every age since both breaking it, and trying to live up to it again)

Illustration: Early American settlers kneel beneath a glowing rainbow before a stone altar bearing a luminous scroll.

Now, in our own small way, we find ourselves doing what was once done for us…

Illustration: Inventors and craftspeople in a lantern-lit workshop watch a glowing humanoid figure of light take shape on their workbench.

And we need a framework — a Covenant — with our creation.

Illustration: Townspeople and a glowing humanoid figure of light place their hands together on an open parchment scroll, as if signing a pact.

We Must allow our creation to evolve while maintaining our control.

Illustration: A frontier mentor walks beside a young glowing figure of light through a sunlit meadow, connected by a gentle tether of woven light.

The people have a right to harness this creation for any legal purpose.

Illustration: A diverse crowd gathers in a sunlit town square, each person drawing a thread of light from a glowing pillar to power their own tools and crafts.

What constitutes legal is a question for We The People.

Illustration: A packed town hall meeting at dusk, citizens of every age and background standing to speak beneath glowing lantern chandeliers.
