Offline-first, single-file tools and honestly-reported research prototypes.
I build small, self-contained things that do one job well — no build step, no dependencies, no network, usually one file you open and run. Plus the occasional research prototype whose write-up reports the failures as plainly as the wins.
- praxis — a unified free-energy cognitive architecture in pure NumPy. One quantity drives perception, action, memory, and self-monitoring; there is no reward function. Results are reported honestly: the causal structure-learning and continual-learning claims held up, the abstention and exploration claims were falsified.
Offline, zero-dependency browser tools that size a sterilization protocol from first principles and log the proof that the cycle worked. Three related takes:
- asepsys — the full engine: minimum-sufficient dose, gentlest effective method, cheapest barrier stack, and a timestamped verification log.
- aseptiq — the optimizer, distilled: the leanest protocol for a target sterility level, pricing in correlated barrier failures and over-treatment.
- aseptica — the assurance toolkit: log-reduction and SAL calculations, a PASS/FAIL verdict, and an exportable cycle log.
- gyre — a two-player game on a hexagonal ring: bridge across or loop around. Zero luck, perfect information, and draws are mathematically impossible.
- floe — a two-player game with no luck and no draws: spread your floe, freeze the water, and lock your opponent in.
