Start Here (English Edition)

English edition. The full framework is currently published in Japanese; this page and S1 are the first English translations.

SOVREN Framework is not a philosophy you only read. The first thing you build is S1: your own information system.

Understand it in 30 minutes

There is really only one thing to understand:

Before AI defines who you are, hold your own Ontology yourself.

“Ontology” here is not academic jargon. It means your own external map — of how you decide, whom you work with, and what you have done — kept in plain files on your own machine, in a form AI can read.

Try it in a day

Create a small working folder on your own PC. The top-level name can be anything (this handbook uses myproject).

myproject/
  ├── inbox/          raw notes and voice memos land here first
  ├── ontology/       your own map
  │   ├── concepts/       one theme per file
  │   ├── people/         one person per file
  │   ├── organizations/  one organization per file
  │   └── relations/      how concepts connect
  └── actionlog/      what you did, day by day

The first three files to create:

File	What goes in it
ontology/concepts/my-judgment-axes.md	The criteria you actually decide by
ontology/people/your-full-name (me).md	Your role, interests, where you are now
actionlog/YYYY-MM.md	Actions, decisions, and their results

Tip: name your own files with your real name. Create the file that represents you as Your Name (me).md, not me.md. Do the same for your company: Your Company (my company).md. As people and organizations accumulate and you have AI analyze the whole system, this keeps it clear who the owner is.

Using it with a team

For teams, read S1 plus S6 and S7 (currently in Japanese). The goal of a team Ontology is a shared, AI-managed map around which members can move autonomously.

Using it in a business

Business owners start with S1, then S2 and S3:

• S1: organize your judgment axes and relationships (this is the English page you can read now)
• S2: choose the market you will fight in
• S3: design how your voice reaches people

From S4 onward the framework moves into business, organization, and capital design. Those skills are published today in Japanese.
