Frequently Asked Questions
Is a centaur a horse with a human head?
Mythologically, yes. Here: a system where human wisdom and AI capability merge. Neither dominates.
Don't centaurs have limitations?
Yes—that's the point. Centaurs aren't perfect. But they're better at most tasks than humans or horses alone.
How is this implemented?
Digital Twins, Constitutional governance, and Cognitive Twin Engines embody the centaur model.
Does this require special training?
Not much. If you can use email, you can use a centaur system. It's designed to be intuitive.
