First Principles First

First Principles First (FP1) is a research and design lab mapping the transition from the Anthropocene to the Novacene.

We develop Agentic Economics, an approach to markets and governance where value is tied to verifiable uncertainty reduction and system coherence, not speculation and extraction. Think living markets, Markov blankets, active inference, and decision-grade measurement.

On this channel you’ll find Briefings for the Novacene and The Transition Dialogues, long-form conversations with builders and researchers across AI, cognition, biotech, cybernetics, governance, and emerging forms of intelligence.

If you are building or investing in high-stakes systems, this is for you.
