Hi, I’m Timothy Karsch, an independent researcher in St. Louis, Missouri. My current focus is the Time–Constraint Theory of Entity Freedom — a formal framework that treats real autonomy (for people, organizations, and AI) as the leftover resource after intrinsic obligations and external burdens are satisfied. I’ve open-sourced the Moral Dilemma Simulator and audit tools so the ideas can be tested and extended. Looking for collaborators and funders who want to move from theory to measurable progress on AI autonomy and governance.
