An options library: these pages compare approaches without selecting one. Nothing here is an approved Maha position, a personal commitment, or a declaration of candidacy.
Public questions. Clear choices. Accountable answers.
Policy choices that affect everyday life
Understand the issue, compare options, and see what would justify changing course. 8 briefs separate evidence from proposals and identify who could act.
No position here has been personally approved, and four further questions are withheld until their current legal and empirical baselines are refreshed. Existing Maha proposals are identified separately.
What issue do you want answered?
Search available options briefs, existing proposals and methodology—not the unresearched candidate map. Search stays in this page and is not sent to a server.

Existing proposals and philosophical background
The five published proposals remain at their existing URLs. Their publication does not make their factual claims, cost assumptions or legal mechanisms independently reviewed.
- Nutrient Density Standard — Metric, transition design and budget score unresolved.
- Chemical Reciprocity Act — Current GRAS/pesticide rules, substance-specific evidence and legal mechanism require review.
- Algorithmic Transparency and Cognitive Liberty — Harm measurement, authority and fiscal design unresolved.
- National Soil Restoration Corps — Offsets are proposed, not demonstrated savings; conservation and labor outcomes need evidence.
- Community Sovereignty Compact — State authority, federal preemption and rights conflicts require legal design.
Read the philosophical context—not a legislative commitment
Maha’s existing Saturnian and ecological-statecraft framing emphasizes limits, long horizons and ecological wellbeing. These are attributed values and metaphors, not empirical proof of policy effects.
The Maha Principle is retained as a book reference. Its web edition currently reports publishing maintenance; no legislative position is inferred from it.

AI-assisted source inspection and drafting; no independent expert, legal or budget review; no personal position approval.
