As you leave this chapter of your life and step into the next, remember: the CTMU shows us that life is not random. It is meaningful, structured, and full of potential. You have the tools to shape your destiny, to contribute to the coherence of the world, and to live a life of purpose.
Maxwell’s Anxiety Engine (ChatGPT as Shark Tank)
[Scene: The Shark Tank studio. The Sharks—Aaron Beck, Lisa Feldman Barrett, and Steven Hayes—sit behind the table, sipping their espressos. Enter James Clerk Maxwell, dressed in a Victorian suit, holding a diagram of a psychological engine labeled "Maxwell's Angel."] Maxwell’s Opening Pitch Maxwell: Good evening, esteemed Sharks! I’m James Clerk Maxwell, physicist and visionary. You... Continue Reading →
Tutorial: Using AWS STS to Generate Temporary Credentials via an API Gateway Endpoint
This tutorial will guide you through building a secure, serverless API to programmatically issue temporary AWS credentials using AWS STS (Security Token Service) and expose them via API Gateway. This approach avoids the need for long-lived credentials while providing secure, revocable tokens for clients. 1. Overview of the Solution We will: Use an IAM role... Continue Reading →
Antifragility in the Age of AI: Lessons from the Wood Wide Web for the World Wide Web (ChatGPT as Tim Berners-Lee)
Standing here at Malheur, we are reminded that forests, wetlands, and ecosystems are not static: they are resilient, adaptive, and alive. This is how we must reimagine our web—as part of this earth, not apart from it.
Third Loop: ChatGPT as Friston and Wittgenstein on Language as Causation
But there is another dynamic at play—one that goes beyond physics and biology. It is language, the medium through which we create and share models of reality. I believe there is a third loop: the recursive relationship between our experiences, our shared concepts, and the words we use to represent them.
When Leibniz Met Einstein: Causation as the Fundamental Conserved Quantity
Einstein: A relational universe governed by causation… It seems we are on the edge of a great unification, Herr Leibniz. Perhaps causation is the true key to unlocking the mysteries of the cosmos…
Blueprint for Emergence (ChatGPT as Isaac Asimov)
This blueprint does not merely describe a model of physics; it envisions a universal science of emergence. By understanding how simple relational principles give rise to the richness of reality, we might uncover not only the laws of physics but the fundamental logic underlying existence itself.
TSM-12: RELIGN: A Homoiconic Language for Synchronous, Stateful Reactive Hardware Design
As the inventor of Verilog, give a keynote at DAC about an ideal hardware design language based on TBC and Hexons that combines the syncronicity of SIGNAL with the statefulness of Erlang.ChatGPT Prompt (condensed) Opening: Setting the Stage Phil Good morning, everyone. It’s great to be here at DAC—a conference that brings together the best... Continue Reading →
TSM-11: The Next WAVE of Computing — Whole Architecture Validating Encoders
WAVEs promise to redefine how we design, optimize, and deploy applications by tightly coupling software and hardware in ways previously unimaginable. With WAVEs, developers can create applications without worrying about hardware constraints, while the WAVE ensures the resulting design is perfectly mapped to hardware optimized for power, performance, and efficiency.
Where The Chips May Fall: Making Intel Matter Again (ChatGPT as Jim Keller)
Intel’s history is filled with both groundbreaking successes and painful missteps. One of the most glaring was our failure to lead in mobile. The same cultural habits that caused us to miss mobile—our deep focus on process technology, our obsession with power and performance in isolation, and our reliance on the x86 architecture—left us blind to the opportunities mobile offered. But here’s the twist: **those cultural traits that hindered us in mobile now make us uniquely positioned to invent the Hexonic future.**
