Terms of Use

Research Preview (Beta) · Effective 11 July 2026

The Consilience is an early research preview. Outputs are AI-generated, exploratory, and not verified claims. Do not rely on them as factual, professional, medical, legal, financial, or spiritual advice.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of The Consilience research preview at app.theconsilience.io (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What the Service is

The Consilience is an interdisciplinary research instrument: it lets you browse a curated corpus, read sources and suggested connections, and generate exploratory text across traditions. It is provided as an early, evolving beta for evaluation and feedback.

2. Exploratory, ungraded output

Everything the Service generates is produced by AI and is exploratory and ungraded. Connections it surfaces between sources are suggested by similarity, not confirmed correspondences. A graded, verified engine is still in development and is not part of this preview. You are responsible for independently verifying anything you rely on.

3. Not personal or professional advice

The Service is an intellectual research tool, not a source of personal, spiritual, medical, psychological, legal, or financial guidance. If you are in distress or crisis, please contact a qualified professional or a trusted person. Do not use the Service as a substitute for professional judgment.

4. Access and eligibility

During the beta, access may require an invite code and is offered at our discretion. You must provide a valid email address and are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend or revoke access at any time.

5. Acceptable use

Do not attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape at scale, or reverse-engineer the Service.
Do not use it to generate unlawful, harmful, or infringing content.
Do not misrepresent generated output as verified or authoritative.
Usage is subject to fair-use limits; the Service applies per-user and system-wide rate and cost limits.

6. Content and intellectual property

The seeded corpus consists of publicly available or licensed material presented as excerpts with citation. Source materials remain the property of their respective rights holders. You retain rights to text you author; you are responsible for how you use generated output, including checking it before relying on or republishing it.

7. No warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Beta features may change, break, or be removed without notice.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Consilience and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any decisions made in reliance on generated output.

9. Changes

We may update these Terms as the preview evolves. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
