International Holding Company
Auric
Auric is my formal studio and holding company for the work I build toward a maximally exciting, prosperous future beyond borders. It has existed since 2022 (although under different names / in different forms) and remains my long-term vessel for principles and international efforts.
What Auric is
Auric is a global holding company built around meaningful progress: infrastructure, health, university-scale education, space, and international relations. The public line is simple—turning science fiction into reality beyond borders—and the working standard is that profit funds the mission; it is not, and will never be the mission itself.
In practice, Auric is also my formal studio. Software systems, research programs, divisions/focused subsidiaries, long-term goals for humanity live under Auric when they are meant to last as company work rather than purely personal notes or one-off builds. If something is part of the long game, Auric is usually the home for it.
Ownership
Auric is wholly owned by me.
Holding role
Structured for long-term efforts (divisions or subsidiaries) and focused initiatives (projects) under shared values and standards.
Public face
Full architecture, pillar theses, division pages, and project catalog live on auric.hk.
How it works
Three layers
Auric’s operating model is intentionally small: pillars set direction, divisions run lasting companies, projects do bounded work. That is the whole structure.
01 · Direction
Pillars
The principles of Auric that divisions embody one or more of. At the time of writing, the pillars are infrastructure, space, health, education, and international relations.
02 · Companies
Divisions
Divisions (or subsidiaries) of Auric focus on one pillar or field of work. Each can run many programs and is built to last in the long-term.
03 · Focused work
Projects
Narrow technical efforts to solve very specific problems. An example is Auric’s Solara project, a Python + C program for running Auric web services.
