The thinking
behind the work.
A home for papers, lab notes, computational experiments, and video explanations. Alongside the core research agenda, a wider space for questions still taking shape.
Lab note / Introductory note
From observation to equation
How an unusual observation can become a model without forcing the evidence to fit the first idea.

Room for the unexpected.
Exploratory interests beyond the two core programs. Each is identified by the kind of inquiry it invites.
Theoretical inquiry
Consciousness & mathematical description
What could a mathematical account of consciousness explain, and which observations would distinguish competing accounts?
Read the question brief →Theoretical inquiry
Cryptographic limits
Explore the assumptions behind public-key security and the boundaries of ambitious quantum and privacy-preserving constructions.
Read the question brief →Frontier physics
Black holes & the limits of physical computation
Use thought experiments and explicit physical assumptions to examine extreme conditions, information, and the limits of what could be constructed.
Read the question brief →Frontier physics
Symmetry, matter & the universe
Investigate the relationship between mathematical symmetry and a universe in which matter and antimatter are unevenly represented.

Cosmergence
A personal inquiry into continuity, emergence, resonance, and humanity's place in the universe. A philosophical branch of the notebook.
Read the question brief →Exploratory questions
Unexpected connections
A wider space for questions about perception, sensory jamming, and the relationships between scientific explanation and philosophical traditions.
