# Project Lighthouse

Project Lighthouse is conceptually linked to Project Carmel. They may appear as separate entities, but both projects can potentially share similar technical foundations. While Carmel is focused on debates, Lighthouse takes those principles and applies them to the management of a knowledge base. The underlying architecture can be similar, promoting synergies and allowing both projects to benefit from shared enhancements and updates.

Draft spec, please provide feedback in the form of pull requests and issues to github.com/allinbits/carmel.

## Initial terms

* All contributors agree on a curator or a panel of curators.

Can the curators list be updated from time to time or is a permanent position? Also the contributors can agree on removing any of them in case it's required for whichever the reason is (absence, lack of opinion, not efficient enough, biased on opinions, etc)?

Inspired by Jae's linked statements, we could create a Git-like setup where non-curators can fork and rebase.

I'm open to changing curators, provided the original team gets a fair chance to finish their task.

* All contributors commit to intellectual honesty, constructive debate, and the pursuit of truth.
* All contributors respect that this is an uncensored platform but are responsible for the veracity of their contributions.

## Step 1. Determine the Discussion Points

* Any contributor can suggest a complex or controversial topic for discussion.

In relation to the topics, which is your PoV of how Lighthouse deals with the topics? Similar to reddit in the sense of separating the topics but in the same world (not able to define if website or realm or any other product) so others can use other topics are resources or completely independent in different spheres so you can't mix them?

Carmel is designed to frame trusted debates, while Lighthouse is intended to provide trusted, uncensored responses to intricate questions, similar to a credible Wikipedia.

With Carmel and Lighthouse's emphasis on open-source inspired, scientifically informed statements, we aim to create a rich network of linked statements with metadata, going beyond specific debates or topics.
Imagine git for statements.

* The curator(s) reviews these suggestions for relevance and interest.
* Topics that foster meaningful exploration of truth are approved.
* The curator(s) can propose new topics independently.

## Step 2. Submission of Arguments and Evidence

* contributors can submit arguments, counter-arguments, and evidence for each approved topic.
* Contributors are expected to cite sources where applicable.
* The curator(s) organizes and categorizes the submitted information.
* All contributions remain uncensored, but the curator(s) may provide a framework for the information to promote understanding.

## Step 3. Simplification and Correlation

* Contributors can propose to split complex topics into smaller, easier-to-review subtopics.
* Contributors can suggest links to other related topics.

Here is why I ask. When you mean "related topics" you mean topics that are subtopics of the bigger one like in the splitting or can be even non-related in the same big topic? Because obviously this can help to increase the fan of options to provide sources.
