Tenets of Mersivity

A new design and engineering philosophy and code-of-ethics for technology has been introduced at MIT, Stanford University, University of Toronto, and at a place we informally created at Ontario Place,

This boundary between Environment and Invironment is called the Vironment. Proponents of Mersivity refer to themselves as Vironmentalists, and believe that technology must serve not only humanity, but also the environment.

Examples of Vironments include vessels, vehicles, headsets, shoes, and clothing.

And the human race is not the only race that builds vironments. Birds are makers too. They build their nests from found objects. The bird's nest is a vironment that forms a boundary between their invironment and environment.

We can think of Mersivity as the space at the center of this Venn Diagram between Nature (Earth or Environment, Atoms), Technology (Vironments, Bits), and Humanity (Invironments, Genes), as shown below:

Concept of Mersivity

Caught Red-Handed Lightbulb Moment

These red-handed lightbulb moments symbolizes all of humanity — no matter our skin color, we all have the same red skin color in transmission. Therefore, red unites all of humanity.

Transmitted light revealing shared humanity

Peter Street Basin Cleanup

We had our weekly Peter Street Basin Cleanup on Sunday, April 6, 2025! We love to see our hard work reflected with the active wildlife presence in the basin! Thank you to all who joined us today, and for those interested, please feel free to swing by our club anytime. We hold weekly cold plunges on Saturday and cleanups on Sunday! And feel free to join us for our club activities, we make engineering projects to help save humanity and the planet every day!

Submarine Launch in Peter Street Basin Recap

On Sunday, March 30, 2025, we launched a submarine into the Peter Street Basin to explore underwater for trash cleanup, with the goal of later programming a robot that cleans up the Basin.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with this initiative!
