PureLand

An open research prototype

A closer look at
your information
practices.

Use a six-step method to examine your control over an information practice and the exposure it can create.

What has been observed
01 / The method

Begin with one
real practice.

Choose an information practice of your own. Work through six steps, in order, and keep a record of what you can and cannot establish.

You may stop at any step. Recording is optional. A stopped run cannot support claims about steps nobody completed.

One run holds two kinds of knowing. Attend works at the sense door, where awareness of your own attention and body can become insight. Read and Trace work on the system, up the ladder from data toward wisdom. The digital and embodied parts of a life are integrating, and the seam between them is what the two tracks are there to show. Why two tracks

IScopeName the practice and its boundary.

Name who the practice affects. Record what evidence exists, and one result that would count against the method.

Before a test
IIAttendNotice your own attention and body.

Run the practice frame before assigning a condition to the system. These are prompts for self-observation, never scores or labels for other people. Attend belongs to the person; a model cannot perform it.

Open the practice frame
IIIReadExamine access in four separate readings.

Ask whether the material is understandable, reachable, adaptable, and traceable. Name the unit, set, denominator, and time window before counting. Keep the four measures separate.

Open the access scorecard
IVTraceFollow what leaves and what returns.

Trace information from each contributor to where it accumulates. Read consent, attribution, and value return separately. Do not average the bands or produce a combined score.

Open the extraction check
VAdaptTry one change and watch its cost.

Record the baseline, the change, the intended benefit, a plausible new harm, the consent the change requires, the observation window, and a review date. Observe the cost as well as the result.

Read the adaptation guidance
VIReportKeep the result within its evidence.

Record what happened, including disagreement or an unmeasurable result. Private learning and refusal may end without a public report. Only cleared reports enter the public ledger. One reply from the maintainer is there for the asking, at no cost.

02 / Current evidence

An open record.
An unanswered question.

PureLand has one maintainer-side, AI-assisted partial dry run and no independent field trial. The current evidence does not show that the method works.

The instruments have no reliability or validity result. Missing evidence stays unmeasurable.

Recorded / FT-001 · 24 Aug 2026

A partial dry run on Alchemy

The assessor examined seven public surfaces, recorded separate access and reciprocity readings, and found a tension between traceability and intentional deletion. One adaptation was executed; follow-up remains open.

The human and independent work

  • Human Attend and affected-user challenge
  • Independent reading and a second reader
  • A predefined agency outcome and completed follow-up
  • Causal effect or attention-sovereignty outcome

FT-001 cannot separate the method's effect from familiarity, time spent, or the extraction check alone.

03 / Use the method

Choose how to begin.

You can keep your learning private. A public report requires its own rights and consent decisions.

Try it privately. Keep nothing. One pass through the same six steps, at the smallest size that still asks the questions. No worksheet, no record, nothing to submit. Start here if you want to know what the method asks of you before deciding whether to record anything.

Read the private path
Self-guided

Run it yourself.

Use a worksheet for the six steps, with links to each instrument. Begin with your own practice and keep the result at the scale the evidence supports.

Open the self-guided packet
With a language model

Keep the human parts human.

Examine your own use of language models with the bounded model-use packet. The model asks questions in step order. Attend stays yours.

04 / The research record

The work behind
the page.

Read the argument, then follow the inquiry into its evidence. Each document has one job. GitHub holds the canonical record and its revision history.

Isaac Rubinstein maintains the project and holds merge and release authority. That concentration remains a project risk.

What informs PureLand?

The synthesis draws on Buddhist practice, evaluation, body-based practice, technology theory, and information systems theory. Its mappings are original synthesis, not Buddhist doctrine, clinical categories, or validated measures. The name establishes no lineage relationship to Pure Land Buddhist traditions.

Permission stays specific

Open work has boundaries.

The repository contains methods, templates, and public-safe records. Participant material stays outside it. Recording, retention, reviewer access, publication, research use, AI processing, and model training require separate decisions.

A repository license does not grant participant permission. Withdrawal may stop future uses the project controls; it may not retrieve copies already distributed.
