Writings

This library gathers essays, analyses, and research notes that sit alongside my formal publications. The pieces explore how coherence, identity, and structure show up in real systems, and how we might build in ways that remember what they are for.

You can browse featured pieces from the main writing page, or read through everything here as the work unfolds over time.
