Free Life Planner (FLP)

A Virtual Secondary Social Safety Net

The Free Life Planner is a comprehensive artificial intelligence system designed to help alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, and other "wicked problems" through systematic life planning and resource coordination.

Overview

The FLP represents a revolutionary approach to social assistance, functioning as a "GPS for one's life" that provides intelligent, personalized guidance for navigating complex life challenges. Built on the principle that free software AI can be uniquely positioned to help vulnerable populations, the system leverages the zero-marginal cost property of software to create a scalable solution for global humanitarian needs.

Core Philosophy

The system is built on several key premises:

Technical Architecture

Digital Twin Technology

FLP creates comprehensive semantic simulations (digital twins) of users' real-world situations, then uses formal methods to prove safety guarantees and prevent harmful outcomes. The system employs:

Planning Systems Architecture

“` World State → Planning Domain → Temporal Plans → Validation → Execution Monitor ↑ ↓

← Feedback Loop ← Plan Monitoring ← Real World Effects ← “`

The system maintains continuous synchronization between the digital twin and real world, enabling dynamic replanning when circumstances change.

Real-World Applications

Homelessness Scenario

The system has demonstrated effectiveness in helping homeless individuals by:

  1. Resource Discovery : Locating food pantries, shelters, and services unknown to users
  2. Contingency Planning : Creating flowchart-like plan trees with backup options
  3. Real-time Adaptation : Adjusting plans when resources are unavailable
  4. Information Gathering : Using user feedback to update resource databases
  5. Progressive Assistance : Guiding users from crisis to stability over time

Example planning output: “` Plan computed: Time: (ACTION) [Duration; Cost] 19.2500: (RIDEBUS USER BUS-71D-51 CULMORE-AND-DERRY HELMSHIRE-AND-BROOKS) [D:0.0000; C:1.0000] 19.2500: (BUYGROCERIES USER FORBES-AND-MURRAY) [D:1.0000; C:1.0000] 20.2500: (RIDEBUS USER BUS-71D-52 HELMSHIRE-AND-BROOKS CULMORE-AND-DERRY) [D:0.0000; C:1.0000] “`

Development Status

FRDCSA Project Integration

FLP is part of the larger Formalized Research Database: Cluster, Study and Apply (FRDCSA) project, which has spent over 20 years collecting and integrating AI software systems. The project includes:

Release Timeline

FLP 1.0 : Currently in development with release planned within 2 years

FLP 2.0 : Major refactoring for enterprise deployment

Technical Implementation

Core Technologies

Integration Capabilities

The system integrates with numerous external services:

Philosophical Foundation

Humanitarian Mission

The project is driven by a deeply personal mission to prevent suffering and save lives. As the founder states: "When I was a kid my sister died at an early age in unknown circumstances. That was a tragedy that so hurt our family that I was left with a latent resolve to do my best as often as possible to prevent it from happening again to my family or yours."

Free Software Ethics

Following the philosophy of "loaves and fishes," the project embodies the principle that freely shared knowledge can be multiplied infinitely to serve those in need. The GPL licensing ensures that:
