In Laws of Form, I began with the mark: the act of drawing a distinction. / Yet the mark itself presupposes something deeper-- a prior domain in which no geometry is given. / Here I present a successor: The Laws of Formless, a calculus that precedes the making of form…
Alright, you clowns. You've spent a hundred years polishing spacetime like it's some sacred crystal. Minkowski this, Markov that. But nature—real, messy, experimental nature—keeps coughing up data that doesn't fit your pretty, memoryless picture…
Here we explore a hypothetical construct, the diaphorum, motivated by a playful challenge from theoretical physicists: can one imagine a structure so basic that geometry, causality, and quantum texture all emerge from it?
To enable all people to create, transmit, and preserve knowledge in ways that remain freely chosen, universally accessible, resistant to domination, and aligned with truth and integrity.
A cooperative, distributed means for creating, propagating, and safeguarding knowledge through minimal agreements, mutual trust, and maximal autonomy.
DNS was our spice. Not the spice of Arrakis, that intoxicant of prescience and navigation, but a quieter compound: the powder of continuity, the dust of impersonal order, the sacrament of modernity. Today, we scatter its ashes.
MIDS---Merge / Integrate / Dogfood / Ship---forms a lightweight philosophy for decentralized development: a way for many autonomous contributors to create coherent products without heavy process or centralized gatekeeping. Each step defines a distinct layer of responsibility, with pronouns that map the flow of agency from individual to collective.
WYSIWID makes behavior inspectable via structure. / WYWIWID makes behavior inspectable via history. / You don’t infer truth—you log it…
In science, unanchored agentic AI risks becoming its own form of vibe coding—speed without accountability. Spec Science is the alternative: structured, reproducible, and grounded in Research Objects (ROs).
The myth of superintelligence assumes that if we amplify reason, we capture mind. / That is the apple we are offered: shiny, perfect, Platonic. / But the worm inside — the actual worm — reminds us that intelligence is not reducible to reason. / It is inseparable from life…
