Research
Research programs, not side projects.
Ongoing research programs. Each is a different cut at the same question: what does it take for an AI system to genuinely persist?
A lab program is a long-lived investigation: a central question, an evolving approach, and open problems stated plainly. Some of this work is early-stage; the thinking behind it is not.
Program 01
LoomDB
A graph-based temporal memory engine with formal stability guarantees.
Memory as a nonlinear dissipative dynamical system over a mutable directed graph — not a passive vector store. Activation saturates asymptotically, stability grows sublinearly, and sub-stochastic edge weights guarantee bounded signal under arbitrarily long horizons: repeated stimulation and cycles cannot explode the state.

Program 02
EPCG
Emergent Personal Cognitive Graphs — a category-theoretic foundation for persistent agents, with an empirically validated memory access model.
EPCG models persistent cognition in four categorical layers — semantic memory, relational memory, executive supervision, and an orchestration endofunctor. Its first falsifiable claim is already validated: flat retrieval (`retrieve(query) -> top-k`) is the wrong interface for agent memory. The Memory Access Model decomposes recall into four typed operations and beat flat retrieval by 50+ percentage points in blind generalization spikes (p < 10⁻⁷).

Program 03
Y2K Sensory
Maximalist Y2K aesthetics unified with neurodivergent accessibility.
A dual-layer CSS architecture isolating decorative animation from functional UI, with cognitive presets for ADHD and Autism. An exploration in making ambitious visual design that doesn't punish the people using it.
