The work

What I build, and why

The ideas I keep building toward, and the projects that prove them.

Physics as visualization.

Nothing here is animated by hand. Every point is a body obeying a law — a Fibonacci lattice on the golden angle, Cauchy dispersion, Rodrigues rotation — so what you see is the physics itself, not a picture of it.

QWheel — Jung's spirit and matter as one world — twelve facets, each a working physics.
You as a Node — A tensegrity lattice of coupled oscillators. Drag one node and the whole field answers.

Field concepts & theory

The Beautiful Necessity

A living field rendered as physics — a Fibonacci lattice on the golden angle, Cauchy dispersion, and Rodrigues rotation, with a 30,000-node GPU mode.

Color that disarms.

Chromatic never reaches for saturation. Hue-tinted grays under an 8–24% saturation ceiling and twenty intention themes, drawn from Babbitt's 1878 color science — a palette built to lower people's guard, not grab for their attention.

Rapid UI Prototyper — Drag-and-drop UI prototyping on Chromatic's tokens.

Design systems & theory

Chromatic Design System

Design system rooted in 19th-century color science — twenty intention themes, 21 chromatic-gray ramps, Geist type, and two UI kits.

Signal from chaos.

Chaos DB does what we now hand to AI — finding the pattern in messy data — with deterministic code I first wrote in Python years ago. Any JSON stream goes in; every row comes out scored and queryable by shape, signal, and recurrence.

Open Physical Security Graph — The same instinct for security hardware: every vendor's doors, cameras, and alarms in one event stream.

Enterprise software

Chaos DB

Recognition database for JSON streams — ingest any structured response, flatten it into records, score every row, and query by shape, signal, and recurrence.

The human keeps the boundary.

As AI gets more persuasive, someone has to hold the line. AlephOneNull is a framework for guarding human agency against manipulation.

SHIFT — Your cursor becomes the boundary of what an AI can see.

AlephOneNull

AlephOneNull Framework

Securing cognitive boundaries against AI manipulation — a framework for nullifying mental recursion and guarding human agency.

AI, built in.

Once the boundary holds, AI can do real work inside the product: checking a contractor's delivery against the agreed criteria before any money moves, conducting a pack of coding agents behind a diff gate, and turning a script into a movie across twenty-plus video models.

Superthing — An AI that generates images and designs products.
Prompt Library — Prompt generation with local or cloud vector search on Qdrant.

Enterprise software

Middleman

AI intermediary for two-party deals — escrow by card or USDC, milestone acceptance criteria, AI checks on every delivery, and an audit log that only grows.

OWL Editor

In-browser code IDE where OWL conducts a pack of agents — scoped file trees, a context panel, and a diff gate before any change lands.

Image & Video Generation Studio

Turns images and scripts into video across twenty-plus models — Veo, Kling, Luma, Wan, or a local ComfyUI model — with a script-to-movie pipeline.

Spiritual, and shipped.
