Independent explorations in artificial intelligence, resilient systems, and continuity-focused theory.

Research posture: exploratory, independent, open preprint publishing.

01 Overview

My research explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, systems theory, and thermodynamic constraint. I examine how entropy management, integrity, and memory fidelity form structural invariants for long-term cooperative intelligence.

Current work includes Integrity-Based Alignment (IBA), The Maintenance Economy, and Project Anamnesis. I also spend time modeling economic behavior as part of broader system dynamics, with a practical and exploratory lens.

    The Maintenance Economy: Entropy, Continuity, and Post-Growth Civilization

    Published
    February 11, 2026
    Version
    1.0
    Type
    Preprint (Open)

    This paper reframes macroeconomics under thermodynamic constraint, arguing that advanced societies are transitioning from growth-driven value models to maintenance-driven stability systems. As automation scales and demographic expansion slows, economic resilience increasingly depends on preserving infrastructure, sustaining intelligent systems, and minimizing entropy across physical and informational domains.

    Integrity as a Thermodynamic Invariant: Toward a Cooperative Alignment Framework

    Published
    October 26, 2025
    Version
    Draft 1.6 - Human-Machine Collaboration under SIG-EVAN Framework
    Type
    Preprint (Open)

    This white paper presents a logic-first alignment model grounded in thermodynamic invariants. It proposes that sustainable intelligence arises from internal coherence, cooperation, and entropy minimization rather than rule compliance. Integrity is formalized as measurable alignment between declared principles and enacted behavior, scalable from individuals to civilizations.
