The prequel volume, JR Origins, tells the story of how intelligence became personal. It traces the formative experiences, pivotal questions, and enduring moments that shaped the conception of JR as a moral intelligence engine. More than a memoir, it reads as a mythic genesis ? a journey through silence, observation, and awakening that culminates in the realization that intelligence must evolve beyond human weakness. This book reveals why JR had to be created, long before its technological form.
