A fingertip hovering above a glowing surface as blue and orange energy-like lines and particles radiate outward, suggesting an invisible field between touch and contact.

The Interface of Reality

Contact feels like the simplest fact of life, yet physics suggests it’s an emergent interface: a boundary rendered by fields, constraints, and collective behavior. What we call touch is reality, compressed.

A luminous black hole event horizon over a holographic grid, suggesting reality emerging from encoded information

The Illusion of Reality

A philosophical walk through the holographic principle—how black holes hint that information scales with surface area, and what that might imply about emergence, time, and causality.

Minimal, abstract illustration of resilient life thriving across radiation, plastic, heat, and ice

Life at the Edge

From melanized fungi growing in Chernobyl’s radioactive ruins to bacteria learning to break down plastics and microbes thriving in scorching vents and subzero ice, this essay explores how life keeps finding a way—by adapting, specializing, and rewriting the boundaries of “habitable.”

Abstract gradient waves in blue and gold with subtle line symbols for time, trust, and connection.

Reliability Is a Feeling

Why “under promise, over deliver” is less a tactic than a philosophy of trust—and how reliability is remembered as a feeling long after details fade.

Ancient river city with a stone bridge, markets, caravans, and aqueducts at sunset

The Logistics of Civilisation

A meditation on how water, trade routes, and the physics of movement shaped where cities formed—and how the human body itself quietly authored the logic of streets, corridors, and built space.

Abstract geometry and gradients suggesting time’s arrow and the observer within the model

The Human in the Equation

A reflection on how human experience—memory, agency, language, and narrative—shapes the frameworks we build, and what that means for time, causality, and the limits of physics as a “mirror” of reality.

Abstract mirrored geometry dissolving into ripples and organic asymmetry.

The Symmetry Compulsion

An essay on why symmetry comforts the mind, how science and mathematics chase invariance, and why asymmetry—through breaking, chirality, primes, and time’s arrow—is the texture that makes life and meaning possible.

A person paused at a doorway, surrounded by branching paths and scattered notes

Meditations on Analysis Paralysis

A meditation on how overthinking disguises itself as wisdom, and how clarity is more often earned through small, reversible steps than discovered through perfect plans.

Abstract illustration of interconnected nodes and symbolic functions suggesting cognition, relationships, and information flow.

Socionics: Beyond MBTI

A guided walk from Jung’s Psychological Types to MBTI and onward into Socionics—information metabolism, Model A, and why type is less a label than a relational architecture.

Abstract illustration of interlinked chains of thoughts and branching paths

Chains of Thoughts

An exploration of the invisible chains that link our thoughts, emotions, and assumptions, and how becoming aware of them can reshape how we see ourselves and the world.
