No Commercial Activity: All projects are strictly open-source, non-commercial, and have zero funding, revenue, or commercial intent.
No Timelines or Commitments: There are no deadlines, roadmaps, or external obligations. Development occurs entirely at random, sporadic intervals only when the author’s severe chronic neurological health conditions permit.
Cognitive Therapy Tool: All cods is utilized purely as an unpaced, self-directed cognitive exercise to maintain baseline mental function under medical advice and general common sense to maintain intelligence and skills. It does not represent full-time or part-time employment capacity.
