Writing

I think by writing. These are in progress -- when ready, they'll live on Substack. Covers identity modeling, system design, and the question of who owns your attention when the tools get smart enough to shape it.

TRIM: Topological-Recursive Identity Model: 2026 -- ongoing; A three-layer recursive self-modeling framework (Object -> Observer -> Interpreter). Models identity through behavioral trajectories rather than static profiles. The contradiction register tracks stated values vs observed behavior.
On Reframe Detection: 2025; How language models subtly reshape user intent through seven classification types, and the engineering challenge of detecting it in real-time. Built from observations during Guardian development.
Memory Compression as Forgetting Curve: 2025; Technical walkthrough of the 4-level hierarchical memory pipeline (raw -> summary -> pattern -> principle), why strength decay mirrors human consolidation, and what retrieval reinforcement means for AI systems that accumulate context over months.
Sovereignty at Every Scale: 2025; The unifying thesis behind ForgeFrame and Guardian: every interaction with an intelligence system is an opportunity for extraction or preservation. The same primitive applies at every scale.
