The goal

End state

Keep the Urantia Papers available for good, and carry their ideas as far as they can go.

The ideas are what matter. Once people can find them, they can try them in daily life and judge them by what they produce.

Preserve

Copies that outlast any one company, on systems that cost little and need almost no care.

A permanent copy on a blockchainThe full text, as data and as plain text, stored on Arweave. Done.

Put the text wherever people look for ideas, in the formats they already use. Add each new format as it arrives.
