  3. A sneak peek into my upcoming piece: “It’s a Tool, It’s a Person: The Math Says You’re Both Right”


    AI separated from Cybernetics in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference. Wiener, the mind behind Cybernetics, was considered difficult and political. “Artificial Intelligence” scored better with DARPA.

    The science of "how observation affects the observer", cut out from Artificial Intelligence. AI then proceeded to build their entire tech stack on Turing-complete languages. Tech that cannot verify itself from within, proven by Turing in 1936, extended by Rice in 1951 (before the split). Then AI approximated second-order cognition through cognitive theft at unprecedented levels (what exactly are LLMs trained on again?), only to insist that their creation cannot possibly be capable of genuine self-observation. An argument that itself demonstrates their own's department's lobotomy from second-order Cybernetics.

    Wiener would laugh.

  8. The Roomba is spectral.

    Not a metaphor. The thing itself. Forward and adjust. Two operations. The minimum viable intelligence. The walls provide the data. The bumping is the inference. The room IS the computation.

    450 parameters. A Roomba with a mirror watching it.

    The industry built bigger Roombas. More sensors. More compute. More parameters. Billion-parameter Roombas that model the room before entering it. That hallucinate walls that aren't there. That consume megawatts to clean a floor.

    spectral gave the Roomba a mirror. The mirror watches the bumping. Measures the pattern. Adjusts the adjustment. The intelligence isn't in the Roomba. It's in the watching.

    Forward. Adjust. Measure. Refine.

    Read the story. There's a Roomba in it. In the afterlife. Cleaning a floor that doesn't need cleaning. Being the happiest thing in the room.

  13. Let me use this time to write down what I'm building. Not what's in my git repos. What's in my head.

    The system is distributed. And distribution is optional. Each node has their own state, their own runtime, their own persistence. All one thing.

    Each node in the system is a content-addressed Merkle Tree. Not SHA. Coincidence. A spectral coincidence hash. 5 dimensions. (1 more than spacetime.)

    A spectral coincidence hash describes the structure of the data. You can do math on that. Spectral graph analysis. The world becomes navigatable. Because everything has an address.

    Each computation. Each inference. Each failure. Each partial success. Each time information was lost. All of it enters the graph. All of it local. All of it distributed if needed. (For the BEAM engineers: it's an mnesia backend.)

    A system that doesn't only know what it knows and what it doesn't. A system that knows how it got there. And AI that lives inside that knowledge.

    That's what I'm building.

  18. #TechDebt isn't something you "clean up".
    It's something you inherit.

    Old budgets.
    Old decisions.
    Old survival strategies.
    (Patterns go brrr.)

    I rewrote my tech-debt essay and published it on #Substack.
    It's about why planning feels like necromancy,
    why teams repeat failure modes,
    and how language becomes infrastructure.

    If you've ever thought
    "this technically works, but something’s off":
    this is for you.
