Orientation

I’m Seth.

This is a public working lab where I think out loud in writing.

You’re not looking at a finished body of work. You’re looking at how I approach problems: how I break them down, test ideas against reality, build tools, and revise explanations when they fail.

If you want more context on my background, the kinds of problems I work on, and how this garden fits into my professional work, start here:
About me and my work

Workbench

These are not topics. They are questions and pressure points that keep recurring across engineering, AI, systems design, and storytelling.

Each entry below drops you into live notes, partial models, or applied work in progress. Think of this as a snapshot of what my attention is currently organized around.

Novels Active novel projects, chapters, and supporting materials.
Articles Drafts in progress and published work across Substack, LinkedIn, and the fediverse.
Reading Notes Active shelf, queue, finished, and reviews. Books from Citations; source cards from Zotero Integration.
