Research

Experimental systems work that may inform future infrastructure, operating systems, and adaptive learning systems.

Long-term systems

Bastion

Bare-metal x86-64 operating-system, runtime, and controlled language work for deterministic execution, service supervision, and auditable operation.

Empirical series

NN-Revival

An ongoing empirical series revisiting pre-backprop neural architectures under modern experimental controls — pre-registered predictions, multi-seed runs, and frozen result artifacts. Three papers so far: weightless neural networks (WiSARD and SDM), CMAC, and Cascade-Correlation.

Methodology note

Provenance over behavior

Why behavioral validation alone cannot distinguish a genuine computation from a relay, and what provenance-based testing looks like in practice. Generalizes beyond neural systems to any evaluation of AI, agentic, or simulated systems.
