systems lab / frameworks / emergent futures
Oumo Systems is a studio where engineering, imagination, and synergy converge to build better coordination mechanisms for complex futures.
We integrate all axes; from speculative narratives to protocols, to explore realities worth arriving at beyond here and now — sometimes in fiction, sometimes in code, sometimes on paper.
Focused on systems-oriented research and design initiatives concerned with complex socio-technical structures.
To explore emergence, coordination, governance, and failure modes across computational, institutional, and cultural domains.
Relae
Relationship-first social layer — contextual integrity over algorithmic noise. Blindfolded away from the hype train, built from the bottom up.
→ ("just relate without the Tea")
Clericus
Smart recursive drafting assistant for large format drafting from pre-compiled coupus. Spinoff → Legalus (East African Law drafting and analysis tool).
→ prototype (closed alpha/coming soon)
Games
• Karata — Ugandan staple matatu-strategy card game → /alpha/
• Polygrid Chess — hexagonal variant → [Play Store]
PAAS — Polycentric Autonomy-Audit System Demo
Core framework for participatory meritocracy + anti-fragile governance and epistemic democracy in fluid collectives. Simulation + implementation prototype.
→ prototype (in progress/coming soon)
DXN
Deepspace Extensible Network — solar orbiting duplex mesh for enabling reliable blindspot free and self reparable routing for deepspace comms.
