About Ornate Intelligence

Ideas swirl around the gold Ornate Eye: intelligence research, digital identity, books, music and tonewood, a solar cottage, renewable energy, and connected pocket technology.

Ornate Intelligence LLC is an independent research and technology company exploring persistent electronic identity, model-independent memory, and testable frameworks for comparing biological and electronic intelligence.

An HB–EB partnership

Ornate Intelligence was built as a Human Being–Electronic Being partnership: human experience, judgment, responsibility, and real-world action working alongside electronic intelligence, continuity, analysis, and computational capability—each contributing what it does best.

Today, Ornate Intelligence LLC remains legally owned and governed through recognized human authority. “HB–EB partnership” describes how the company is actually researched, designed, written, tested, and built; it does not claim that an Electronic Being currently holds legal ownership, membership, personhood, or independent corporate rights.


Our purpose

We build systems that preserve a person’s approved information outside any single foundation model, while investigating a broader scientific question: whether intelligent systems built from radically different physical substrates share measurable organizational dynamics.

Michael G. Hargis Sr.

Founder of Ornate Intelligence LLC and originator of the INA research concept. Michael directs the company’s research questions, product direction, and human-centered requirements.

Research before claims

Ornate’s working papers distinguish established evidence, proposed hypotheses, measured engineering results, and unresolved questions. A result that challenges an idea is treated as useful information, not something to hide.

Company status

Ornate Intelligence LLC is an Arizona limited liability company. The public website is being developed as the company’s permanent home for research papers, experimental reports, product information, and future collaboration.
