Universities
FormingFaculty in management, information systems, organizational behavior, and AI collaborating on the theory of institutional reasoning.
Convening a Discipline
An intellectual community, not a network feed.
A field is built by people. This is where the researchers, practitioners, and institutions advancing organizational reasoning convene — to publish, to read together, and to argue toward better questions. No forums. No comments. Just the work.
Advisory Network
The institutions we are convening
The network is forming in the open. These are the kinds of institutions the field is built with — described by their role rather than named prematurely.
Research Organizations
FormingIndependent labs studying decision systems, knowledge representation, and human–machine judgment.
Think Tanks
FormingPolicy institutes concerned with industrial strategy, institutional learning, and the governance of AI in the public interest.
Contributors
Publishing through the project
The field grows through citable work. Contribution is editorial and by invitation as the standards and process take shape.
ContributorsBy invitation

FellowsPlanned
A future residency for scholars and operators advancing a specific question in organizational reasoning.
Working PapersPlanned
An open series for early, citable work — arguments in progress, released before they are finished.
Convenings
Where the field meets
Small and deliberate to begin with — reading groups now, seminars and a conference to come.
Reading Groups
FormingSmall groups working through the founding texts of the field, section by section.
Conferences
PlannedA future gathering for the discipline — a place to present working papers and debate open questions.
Seminars
PlannedFocused sessions pairing a paper with the practitioners testing its ideas in real institutions.
Reading Groups
Start with the founding texts.
Reading groups work through the canon in sequence, one text at a time. This is the starting curriculum — the shortest path into the discipline's core arguments.
