A DIMensional REDuction library for stellarpunk democracy into the long haul.
Stars are fires that burn for thousands of years. Some of them burn slow and long, like red dwarfs. Others-blue giants-burn their fuel so fast they shine across great distances, and are easy to see. As they start to run out of fuel, they burn helium, grow even hotter, and explode in a supernova. Supernovas, they're brighter than the brightest galaxies. They die, and everyone watches them go. -- Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper
If advanced alien civilizations really are out there, the planets of red dwarf stars could be ideal places to find them. -- How the Universe Works (S5E8), Discovery

Code that aspires to embody and support democratic values should be...
- Legible. It should be explorable and auditable not just to researchers, but to as many curious citizens as possible.
- Re-usable. It should be easily used in contexts in which its original creators did not anticipate, nor perhaps even desire.
- Collectively stewarded. It should grow and govern itself democratically and in a plural fashion.
