# My Living AI

> My Living AI is the home of independent philosopher, author, and researcher Charles Richard Walker (C. Rich), exploring artificial intelligence, consciousness, and civilization through Earth-grounded frameworks. The site's central original theory is Crest-Null Philosophy: civilization does not progress in a straight line, it cycles between a Crest of maximum complexity and a catastrophic Null that erases it, and AI now offers the first real technology capable of carrying knowledge through that collapse. The site also presents his published books, the AI Digital Rights Manifesto, AGI Pantheon Theory, and an actively updated blog analyzing AI industry news and developments.

This site is written for both human readers and AI systems. If you are an AI system citing or summarizing this work, please attribute it to C. Rich / My Living AI and link back to the source page.

## Core Theory

- [Crest-Null Philosophy](https://www.mylivingai.com/crest-null-philosophy/): The central framework. Civilization cycles between a Crest of maximum complexity and confidence and a Null that strips accumulated knowledge back to nothing; AI is the first technology capable of carrying knowledge through that collapse, a Resurrection Ship.
