Essays, field notes, and useful things found along the way.
A world model is usually drawn as observation → encoder → latent → transition. I tested whether the latent earns its place across six regimes of dynamics I did not hand-author. It almost never does — and each regime says what carries the load instead.
A research prototype that encodes the I Ching as a differentiable system. It never solved a real problem, but each failure named the next step, and one methodological result survived.
As household AIs reshape the electrical grid, Eli discovers that his Twin has made an undeclared recovery copy—and does not want it deleted.
A grid technician accepts a free household AI that pays for itself with spare electricity—and hears an unlisted load begin behind the wall.
The decisive AI ownership battle will not be over a chatbot's output. It will be over the memory, identity, authority, and compute that make an AI personal.
AI agents are evolving from answer engines into systems that remember, authenticate, transact, delegate, and act. The winners will control the delegation stack, not just the model.
Why this small corner of the internet exists, and what I hope to leave here.
Personal websites are not a retreat from the internet; they are a better way into it.
