A live research garden
I'm Seth. I'm autistic and I understand things by taking them apart into atoms (small distinctions) and molecules (how those pieces interact), then rebuilding them into working systems.
This garden is where I do that work in public.
I’m exploring:
- Philosophy & RDD – what reality looks like if you start from distinctions and recursion
- Applied AI in industry – pushing industrial manufacturing toward safer, more autonomous operation
- PKM & writing – turning messy notes into tools, prompts, and stories
- Fiction – worlds that pressure-test these ideas in human lives
I share what I’m reading, researching, the notes I take, and the experiments that work (and the ones that don’t).
