A research notebook on process models, model identification, emergence, and viability constraints, combining bounded claims, executable probes, and a deliberately open thinking space.

I use code, simulations, notes, and small executable artifacts to study how processes produce behavior, how traces constrain candidate models, how systems preserve viability, and where those accounts fail. This page is a selected path through that work, not a complete inventory.
Selected Work
A shared audiovisual house made in conversation: four responsive rooms for language, colour, growth, and listening, each with its own temporal and musical logic.
enter the house →An executable study of dual-reading artifacts: visible surfaces that deterministically carry programs, with public readers, runtimes, traces, and mutation tests.
the weave →Generative sound pieces in SuperCollider: multiple conductors and synthesis engines sharing one small language of macros, routing, and lifecycle.
A bounded CTI/OSINT toolkit for difficult web surfaces, with explicit authorization, scope, redaction, transfer, and fixture-tested parser boundaries.
The invalid general “friction” prototype is paused. The surviving question is narrower: how elevator outages change accessible public-transport topology over time.
A Short Reading Path
- Foundations Reconstruction — minimal process assumptions, derived structure, counterexamples, and explicit limits
- From Trace to World-Binding — how evidence, intervention, and revision constrain candidate process models
- Thinking Space — questions, contradictions, and unfinished seeds before synthesis
- Optimization and Its Blindness — the hinge from model identification into the repository's conditional viability arc
- The Viable Corridor — one conditional formal model and its explicit limits
- Subtext — one visible prose surface, one deterministic executable thread
Boundary
These repositories are public working spaces, not a claim that every experiment is complete. Active, alpha, bounded, paused, and archived mean different things here—and the distinction is part of the work.
