AI, technology, education, and ideas about what comes next.
A Live Notebook turns a blog into an evolving record of thought: preserving the reasoning behind ideas, reducing cognitive load, and creating bridges between unfinished investigations and completed essays.
A proposed framework for testing abstract information networks by applying disturbances to nodes with different, changeable resistance profiles—and examining stability, cascading failure and transferability across similar models.
ChatGPT analyses original quotes conceived around 2016, revealing why AI must preserve the humour, emotion, and human touch that make writing memorable.
AI’s early advantage may come from exploiting humanity’s accumulated knowledge. What happens when the frontier shifts to naked information, physical computation and new languages of thought?
Mathematics uses human-made symbols to reveal relationships that may exist independently of us. From invariant structures and physics to quantum interpretation, engineering and AI-assisted discovery, this essay asks what we invent—and what we discover.
A closer look at free will, causation, randomness, and the self-modifying systems that shape human decisions. Does free will exist—or is the question itself ill-defined?
Consciousness and personality are often treated as the same thing. This philosophical framework distinguishes intrinsic consciousness, self-awareness and the human experience of self within space and time, using the torch-and-light analogy to explore whether consciousness may be more fundamental than individual identity.
Human imagination, scientific conjecture and AI hallucination all involve going beyond established knowledge—but novelty is not the same as error. Explore why discovery may require breaking familiar patterns, switching conceptual dimensions and testing possibilities rigorously.
Physics describes the universe with extraordinary precision. But does a successful description reveal what reality ultimately is?
Superintelligence may discover extraordinary solutions—and reveal why some problems have no solution under their defining constraints. Explore physical, mathematical and epistemic limits on solvability.
