This is a short read and a bit of an unconventional take that emerged from a year's worth of my research. I'm hoping this perspective may be of value to other researchers and I've got other supporting research on my website f

The word comes from southern Africa. But the truth it carries is older and wider than any single language. It appears in the Rumi's poetry and the Sikh Gurus' lives. In the Kabbalists' repair work and the Taoists' effort

What happens when the cloud is no longer the default source of truth, but a guest in a federated village of local systems? By organizing around shared intent and shared language, infrastructure can remain calm under failure, deliberate unde

Nice implementation, very slick. Very easy to get an overview without having to jump around, like you said. I did something similar for our local news and community site, but it is limited to nearby weather stations.

That’s because good engineering is mostly listening to the system. If you talk too early, you end up arguing abstractions. If you listen long enough, the constraints introduce themselves. By the end of the meeting, the quiet person isn’t tr

I love this. Text adventures may be one of the cleanest lenses we have for studying world-model coherence, narrative identity, pattern continuity under erasure, and the boundary between simulation and participation. It strips cognition down

Its always good to be prepared materially, physically, and psychologically. The best preps are not supplies, but relationships. Social credit matters more, IMHO, than anything else when it comes to long emergencies.

Hint: Its easier to have balanced federalism when the federal government can't just print money and buy the states.

The triangulation effect with 3+ observers is fascinating, but there may be a weirder extension: what if the "third observer" isn't another person but the relationship coherence between two people? Instead of three independen

Whether a personal attribute is a strength or a weakness seems to depend heavily on context. The key for any us may be to just find people we can work with who have different attributes, resulting in balanced partnership. I have at least so

"As an example: formal proofs and compartmentalization are unsexy but they're a solid way we survive the next decade of adversarial noise." I think you are on to something there. Noise is really signal divorced from tone. Our

This is a topic close to my heart and I've been working with a small team on a solution for a few years and its finally launching into beta now. Hope it works out. If not, back to the drawing board!
