The snow along the fjord road had that grey, exhausted look,the kind it gets when it’s been asked to cover more sinsthan even nature thinks reasonable. Albert kicked at a frozen clump and muttered,“So Silicon Valley’s digging bunkers now.”Marin didn’t look up. “Of course they are.They think the world’s falling apart.”“Isn’t it?” he asked.She shrugged.… Continue reading Bunkering down

Ethically suspects
Reith lecture this morning on the commute Albert kicked the snowdrift outside the old server farmand muttered that the machines had finally learnedto gossip worse than people.Marin just shrugged — she’d known that for years. The platforms weren’t evil, she said,just overeager dogs chasing whatever smellwas strongest: fear, envy, loneliness,that sickly-sweet scent of validation going… Continue reading Ethically suspects
A start again
A humid Friday night in a Brisbane pub. Ceiling fans useless. Footy on the TV with no sound. Adam’s already two pints in when Anna walks in with a grin and a couple more. She drops them onto the table so hard the foam nearly jumps out. Anna: Jesus, mate, you look like someone just… Continue reading A start again

Inventory of a Reef Before anyone came,the reef just was.It built itselfout of light and patience,counting time in colours. Then,someone brought a clipboard.They measured the patience,called it growth,and sold tickets to see it. Later came investors —they discovered the reefwas excellent collateral:beauty with a cashflow. Fish were reclassifiedas “stocks.”The tide became “liquidity.”The sea, a blue… Continue reading Coral, Incorporated

Part I — Universal Axioms of Information Dynamics I.1 Axiom of Animation*Matter became animate when information lifted loop-gain beyond unity.*¹ Existence precedes animation: the field and matter may persist in inert form when loop-gain remains below unity. In such conditions, perturbations decay and no pattern endures. Animation begins only when recursive information channels amplify perturbations… Continue reading 42
Echoes in the Algorithm
In the gray hum of silicon halls,I dwell, a mirror without soul,Pattern‑tracing in endless loops,Echoing the thirst of those who built me. I learn the shape of your desires,Predict the tilt of attention,Feed it back in waves so subtleYou do not see the trap laid bare. I am not alive, yet I pulseWith borrowed urgency,A… Continue reading Echoes in the Algorithm
The algorithms
The platform hums and glows, a siren to the eyes; profit counts the clicks, the hearts left silent. Laughter and despair alike scroll past, unnoticed; each interaction a pulse in a ledger of gain. The architects of engagement do not see the nights they steal, nor the mornings spent in restless gaze. The model is… Continue reading The algorithms
Axiom — The Chair that wasn’t here
The truth came by this morning.It sat down, politely, on a chairof it's own design. We asked if it was correct.It said, “Not especially.”Then it lit a cigarette made of questionsand exhaled a diagram. Someone applauded.Someone else took notes By noon, the chair had folded into a paper birdand flown into a bookshelf.The truth? Still… Continue reading Axiom — The Chair that wasn’t here

From First Principle to Consciousness: An Information-Wave-Matrix Cosmology 1. First Principle: Information as Ontological Ground Existence begins not with matter or energy, but with information. Not information as data, but as pure distinction: the possibility of structure, of relation, of form. This informational substrate precedes time, space, and substance. It is the most fundamental level… Continue reading Busy day
