FreeWillWave is open
A worldwide social experiment that makes a deeply personal choice visible: to be free and to respect the freedom of others.
FreeWillWave officially opened on 21 June 2026. Since then, humans from several countries have already chosen to take part. Each one receives a permanent number, appears in the worldwide progression and can watch the Wave grow in real time.

The Wave in real time
The essentials
FreeWillWave asks one simple question:
How many humans will freely choose to be free — and to respect that same freedom in others?
Each person answers only for themselves. By joining the experiment, they make their choice visible, receive a permanent chronological number and become one of the humans counted in the Wave.
FreeWillWave is neither a political party, nor a petition, nor an organisation to belong to. It does not ask participants to share a common ideology. It simply offers each human the chance to make a personal decision and to make it visible alongside the decisions of others.
Next step
A symbolic moment for a worldwide wave of freedom and respect.
What already exists
FreeWillWave is no longer a project waiting to launch. The site is open and the Wave has begun to take shape. Today it is already possible to see:
Humans from around the world joining freely.
Active countries, and growing.
Live visualisation of the Wave.
Every answer feeds the worldwide Wave.
An observable worldwide experiment
Most ideas about freedom stay abstract. FreeWillWave tries to give them a visible form.
Each registration adds a real person to a world map. Each new country makes the experiment more international. Each number marks a unique place in the story of the Wave.
The project lets a collective question be observed from strictly individual decisions.
Nobody answers on behalf of a group. Nobody decides for the others.
Each human answers only for themselves.
Next step: the first Fibonacci Wave
On 1 August 2026 at 11:23 UTC, FreeWillWave will launch its first monthly sequence inspired by the Fibonacci series. The progression follows the rhythm:
1 · 1 · 2 · 3 · 5 · 8 · 13 · 21…
Each new group is formed from the two previous groups. The human principle stays deliberately simple:
One person invited per day, for two days.
Each participant passes the Wave on to two other humans, and then their part is done. They can simply watch the progression or keep helping freely.
Why Fibonacci?
The Fibonacci sequence gives the propagation a clear, visible and easily understood rhythm.
It also separates two figures: how many new humans enter the sequence each day, and how many humans have entered in total since it began.
In a perfect theoretical progression, the cumulative total could reach the scale of the world population in less than two months. This is not presented as a prediction. It is a simple measure of how far an individual action, repeated by a growing number of people, can travel.
Voluntary and limited participation
FreeWillWave does not ask participants to stay constantly active. When a person enters the Fibonacci sequence, their mission is limited:
- invite one person on the first day;
- invite another person the next day.
After these two invitations, they have done their part.
Their number stays permanent and their presence keeps counting in the Wave. They can then:
- watch the rest of the experiment;
- keep inviting freely;
- support the project;
- talk about the Wave;
- take part in the Biathlon;
- or do nothing more.
There is no obligation to continue.
The Biathlon
Beyond the Fibonacci sequence, members can help the project grow through two forms of action.
Introduce FreeWillWave to other humans and invite them to take part in the experiment.
Send energy to the Wave, in the various forms offered on the site.
The Biathlon makes these contributions visible at the individual, national and worldwide level.
It does not measure the value of a person. It simply shows the actions that help the Wave move forward.
What each participant receives
Each person who joins FreeWillWave receives:
- a permanent Free Human number;
- a chronological place in the Wave;
- a personal profile;
- a country and a language tied to their participation;
- a personal invitation link;
- a tree showing the humans who arrived through their lineage;
- access to the worldwide evolution in real time.
The number is not a rank of value. It simply marks the order in which humans joined the experiment.
The creator

Serge Brocteur
Serge Brocteur is a Belgian analyst-programmer and the creator of FreeWillWave.
After several years of reflection on free will, individual responsibility and the creation of collective realities, he chose to use what he knows how to do: analyse, program and automate.
FreeWillWave is the system he built to turn a philosophical question into an observable worldwide social experiment.
He is the first participant of the experiment: Free Human #1.
“I am not asking anyone to think like me. I simply offer each human the chance to answer one question for themselves: do I choose to be free, while respecting that same freedom in others?”
— Serge Brocteur, creator of FreeWillWave
Other available quotes
- “FreeWillWave does not try to define freedom for others. It lets each person make their own choice visible.”
- “This project begins with an individual decision, but it becomes observable when a great number of humans freely make the same choice.”
- “Two invitations, two days, and then everyone is free to watch the Wave grow.”
- “The site does not only show an idea. It shows the humans, the countries and the real progression of the experiment.”

Short description
FreeWillWave is a worldwide social experiment that invites each human to make a personal choice visible: to be free and to respect the freedom of others. Each participant receives a permanent number and joins a Wave whose evolution can be followed in real time across countries, languages and invitations.
Medium description
FreeWillWave is a worldwide social experiment created in Belgium by Serge Brocteur. The project invites each person to answer one simple question individually: do they choose to be free while respecting that same freedom in others? Each participant receives a permanent Free Human number and appears in a worldwide progression visible in real time. On 1 August 2026, the project will launch its first monthly Wave based on a progression inspired by the Fibonacci sequence.
Boilerplate
FreeWillWave is a peaceful, voluntary worldwide social experiment created by Belgian analyst-programmer Serge Brocteur. It makes visible the number of humans who personally choose to be free and to respect the freedom of others. Each participant receives a permanent chronological number and joins a Wave observable in real time through a world map, countries, languages and invitations. From 1 August 2026, a monthly sequence inspired by the Fibonacci series will invite each selected participant to pass the Wave on to one person per day, for two days.
