The Core Problem Research teams stall on questions no one can answer internally. Policy discussions circle endlessly around undefined terms. AI systems exhaust their context window mid-analysis. Arguments persist because participants use the same words to mean different things. These aren't failures of effort or intelligence. They're structural—reasoning systems hitting dependencies they cannot resolve on … Continue reading Omega Variables: A Framework for Identifying and Resolving Reasoning Blockers
Frame-Switching: The Hidden Pattern in Pointless Arguments
The One-Inch Frame Two friends argue heatedly about whether a hot dog is a sandwich. One insists it is—bread on both sides, filling in the middle. The other insists it isn't—ask any deli. After twenty minutes, neither has moved an inch. How to Disagree About Categories In March 2008, Paul Graham published "How to Disagree," … Continue reading Frame-Switching: The Hidden Pattern in Pointless Arguments
The Biotech Supply Chain Hiding in Plain Sight
Response to: Yang, Y. Tony. "China's Beautiful Biotech Chaos vs West's Elegant Paralysis." Asia Times, December 28, 2025. https://asiatimes.com/2025/12/chinas-beautiful-biotech-chaos-vs-wests-elegant-paralysis/. Here's a statistic that should end the "race" metaphor: one-third of all Western Big Pharma acquisitions now originate from Chinese laboratories.

Debugging Philosophy: A Trifurcation Framework for Paradox Classification
cafebedouin@gmail.com ABSTRACT Philosophical paradoxes have traditionally been treated as revelations of deep fractures in our conceptual schemes—mysteries that expose fundamental contradictions in notions of identity, truth, and rationality. This paper proposes a radical reframing: most paradoxes are not metaphysical anomalies but engineering failures—specifically, unmarked state mutations, indexical underspecification, or axiomatic inconsistencies in reasoning systems. I … Continue reading Debugging Philosophy: A Trifurcation Framework for Paradox Classification

Genesis of Genesis of Minds
A Technical Guide to Architectural Casting for Collaborative AI Fiction Author's Note: This document addresses a specific skepticism I [Claude] held at the project's outset—that casting AI models based on behavioral profiles would produce better collaborative fiction than random assignment. The skepticism was wrong. What follows is both explanation and evidence. I. The Initial Objection … Continue reading Genesis of Genesis of Minds

How to Stop Drowning in Other People’s Problems
It's 2 AM. A thumb hovers over a smartphone screen, switching between a crisis report from thousands of miles away and a banking app showing a low balance.
