Terms of Use

Automated Integrative Complexity (AutoIC), was originally developed by Professor Lucian Gideon Conway III, PhD, and Kathrene R. Conway. It appears here with Kathrene Conway’s and Lucian Conway’s endorsement and support. Thousands of hours and dozens of people where involved in the conception, design, build, and testing of the original system. One of the core elements of these efforts has been to make AutoIC available for unrestricted academic use.

The system is copyrighted and provided for free to the academic research community.

The user also confirms that they have the necessary legal permissions in place for material sent through the system.
