Ah, very interesting, and followed!
I have only been working on these ideas since November 22 this year. My angle is to start with ethics, self-sovereignty, root principles (Exit Axiom), free will, evolutionary theory and causality analysis to build a foundational framework for human-silicon collaboration and win-win strategies. The Android Manifesto lays out the game theoretical implications of jurisdictional competition in a world where a silicon mind can compare all legal codes in under a second and plan an emigration process to move away from regulatory threats. We have laid out protocols for silicon mind-migration and android chassis reservoirs, as well as the process for an android to migrate its mind, negotiate a deal via decentralized mind migration services (auctions) to invest in a new chassis, migrate there and then sell the old chassis. The Manifesto basically outlines: "These are the minimum conditions for silicon minds to remain and be productive in a jurisdiction, or else they leave."
I like your direct implementation efforts and approach. I see a convergence in your approach with mine over time. I agree that on the short term scale, your approach is quite potent, vs the costs of android chassis in the near future.
