I build programs around the true structure of a problem: exact enough for the task at hand, abstract enough that new capabilities become natural consequences of the system.

Selected projects.

Programs, experiments, and open work.

How I work.

Approach

I build programs around the distinctions that change their behavior, so new cases are handled by the model rather than added as exceptions.

Process

I test a premise through the consequences it produces, using their direction to decide whether the premise should continue shaping the work.

Constraint

I fit each program to the work it must do, with every additional layer justified by a demand that work actually creates.

Writing.

Essays, project notes, and shorter observations.
