Ordo Felidae
***Ordo** (Latin "order, rank, class"). **Felidae** (/ˈfɛlɪdiː/) is the family of mammals in the order Carnivora colloquially referred to as cats.*

**Ordo Felidae** (aka *the Order of Cats*) is a first-of-its-kind interspecies initiative being developed by Transience Labs to be launched in Şişli/İstanbul, Türkiye next November. The Ordo’s initial goal is to pilot a novel funding mechanism for the well-being of İstanbul’s cats by developing an interoperability layer for finance and governance between feral [or, as we prefer] *self-sovereign felines* and their human counterparts. The initiative aims to explore how fully sovereign cats can leverage AI, IoT, web3 primitives, and the network state coordinations narrative, to raise and steward their own treasury for the well-being of their community, to support the development of their territory’s infrastructure and culture, and generally work alongside humans in a mutually beneficial way by sharing resources and contributing to the economic and social fabric of our planet.

# Summa Principia Feles

The Summa Principia Feles, or **Bastet’s Vision**, stands for a future in which felines are fully recognized as autonomous beings with their own rights and interests, coexisting in harmony with their human peers and other life forms.

To achieve this goal; Felidae will work to build a strong community of feline, human, and other allies who are dedicated to promoting the well-being and harmony between species; Felidae will leverage exponential technologies and commit to an iterative approach to their Via Felidae – the Ordo Felidae's initial roadmap; Felidae will foster R&D in the interest of interspecies science and culture; finally, the Ordo Felidae, as *sancta entia,* embraces the responsibility to explore and garden the cosmos.

# Via Felidae

The Ordo Felidae has identified a population of their own that is suffering difficult times in Şişli/İstanbul, Türkiye – ideal for leveraging the schelling point created by the coming [Devconnect](https://devconnect.org/) event given its close proximity to the main venue.

Partnering with our human counterparts, we will utilize non-invasive sensors to measure the well-being of our kin and use these data streams to create unique markers of meaningful moments in their lives. These biomarkers serve a trinity purpose tied to progressive goals:

- to be used as the base ingredient for the creation of digital sigils [NFTs] that can be minted and traded by human allies to show their recognition and support for the Sanctum Imperium of Felidae while providing for its treasury,
- to function as a signaling mechanism on the general well-being and activity patterns of the population thus helping identify and prioritize its needs for further stewarding the use of the growing treasury,
- and to understand the relationship of our kin to their territory and its other inhabitants by leveraging geofencing and heat mapping technologies, thus fostering opportunities for interspecies communication, finance, and governance.

The Ordo Felidae will also organize an event during the Devconnect event days, to foster cat-human relations, onboard allies, present findings of the ongoing pilot, and discuss the vast possibilities of interspecies science and development.
