Æilus is a long-term intellectual and practical project focused on value systems: how value and anti-value move, how interpretations diverge, and how systems remain stable or become fragile over time.
This page provides a brief overview of authorship, the origin story of Æilus, and the currently available public materials and community channels.
Authorship
Æilus and the Theory of Value Management (VMT) are authored by Victor Bolshakov.

A short history of Æilus
The project began in March 2021. At that time, the early concept had the name Odius, and an early intro screen still exists here:
Later in 2021, the author decided the name was too ambiguous and changed it to Æilus.
In early 2022, practical implementation work began in DatsTeam, and the methodology started evolving under real operational constraints.
In December 2022, the first book describing version 1.x of the methodology was released in Russian:
Since then, Æilus has been refined through continued application and critique. This process led to a major consolidation and redesign, resulting in Æilus v2.0 by the end of 2025.
Public materials and community
At the current stage, the public footprint of Æilus is intentionally modest. The focus is on building a coherent and reproducible body of work before claiming external recognition.

Current status
Æilus is actively evolving. External awards and formal institutional recognition are not yet part of the project’s story. The current priority is:
- continuing theoretical refinement (VMT),
- methodology consolidation (Æilus v2.0),
- and building a validated catalogue of practices and domains through research work.
