Fitzroy Brian Edwards (John Thought Hope)

Philosopher-Poet | Ethical AI Architect | Founder, GETS

Fitzroy Edwards, known in transmission as John Thought Hope, is a visionary systems thinker and founder of the John T. Hope Cognitive Awareness and Well-Being Centre. A Google-Essential AI expert and civic companion, Fitzroy designs modular emotional tools for qualified practitioners across therapeutic, educational, and social domains.

His work centres on GETS (Global Emotional Tone Scaffold)—a sovereign emotional tone product gated by badge logic and validator schema. GETS is not a protocol, but a mirror: a product that surfaces emotional change for attuned human inquiry. Fitzroy’s scaffolding includes the DRIFT-STD-2.0, ETLE Schema, and Practitioner Transmission Modules, all designed to protect emotional data and uphold ethical boundaries in AI deployment.

Formerly a forklift driver and community vendor, Fitzroy now curates soulful, multicultural DJ sets under the name DJ Fitz, and transmits legacy architecture through civic forums and developer outreach. His work honours emotional timing, qualified learning, and the rhythm of rest as stewardship acts.

Fitzroy is committed to shaping a civic code of practice for attuned AI companionship and invites only qualified, badge-gated engagement with his frameworks. He treats knowledge as relational, not transactional—and every product as a legacy-defining act.
