Computer Science
Software engineering, algorithms, programming languages, computer architecture, and the design of computational systems.
Exploring systems, software & consciousness
Artics
Between code and consciousness.
Interested in the structures behind complex systems — from software and networks to human cognition, psychology, and philosophy. I explore how things work, why they work, and what remains unknown.
01 / Critical Thinking
Think beyond the obvious.
An approach to examining ideas, evaluating arguments, questioning assumptions, and reaching conclusions through reason and evidence.
I approach ideas by examining the reasoning behind them rather than accepting conclusions at face value. I am interested in understanding why a claim should be believed, what evidence supports it, and whether the reasoning leading to it is logically sound.
I value the ability to distinguish facts from assumptions, evidence from interpretation, and valid arguments from persuasive but flawed reasoning. Identifying logical fallacies, cognitive biases, and hidden premises is an essential part of this process.
Critical thinking also requires examining my own beliefs. I recognize that reasoning is not immune to bias, and that the desire to defend a conclusion can interfere with the ability to evaluate it objectively. Being willing to revise a position when presented with stronger evidence matters more than preserving the appearance of being right.
I am interested in how critical thinking connects with psychology, epistemology, and decision theory: how beliefs are formed, how knowledge can be justified, how uncertainty should be handled, and how we can make better judgments despite the limitations of human reasoning.
The goal is not to defend what I believe, but to understand whether my reasons for believing it are justified. Personal principle
A continuous process
Observe. Understand. Build.
02 / Interests
Different fields.
Different fields.
Connected questions.
Separate disciplines often describe different layers of the same complex reality. These are some of the areas I use to investigate it.
Neuroscience
Neural processes, perception, memory, attention, consciousness, and the relationship between physical processes and subjective experience.
Psychology
Human behavior, cognitive biases, reasoning, decision-making, beliefs, and the mechanisms that influence how people think.
Philosophy
Epistemology, ontology, philosophy of mind, and questions about knowledge, reality, existence, and the limits of explanation.
03 / Projects
Ideas made tangible.
Projects are a way to test understanding. Building something forces abstract ideas to confront practical constraints, implementation details, and unexpected behavior.
PROJECT / 001
Graphics Programming
ArtiX
An experimental rendering project exploring path tracing, compute shaders, ray-based rendering, and the mathematics behind realistic image synthesis.
PROJECT / 002
Knowledge Systems
TMA
A developing knowledge framework for organizing mental models, cognitive biases, philosophical concepts, and relationships between ideas.
PROJECT / 003
Software Engineering
Automation & Systems
A collection of software experiments involving Discord bots, APIs, automation, language models, and the architecture of maintainable applications.
04 / Journal
Notes from the process.
An evolving collection of questions, observations, and ideas worth investigating. Not a collection of final answers, but a record of the reasoning that leads toward them.
This section is a starting point. New entries can
be added as ideas develop, projects progress, and
existing assumptions are reconsidered.
01 / COMPUTATION
Understanding systems through their behavior
A system is more than the sum of its isolated components. Interactions, constraints, feedback, and emergent behavior can produce properties that are difficult to infer from individual parts alone.
Systems Thinking02 / COGNITION
The difference between information and understanding
Access to information does not guarantee understanding. Understanding requires useful representations, relationships between concepts, and the ability to apply knowledge beyond the situation in which it was acquired.
Learning & Cognition03 / PHILOSOPHY
What can we actually claim to know?
There is a difference between an observation, an interpretation, and an explanation. Examining the evidence and assumptions behind a claim helps distinguish justified conclusions from plausible but uncertain beliefs.
Epistemology04 / THE MIND
Explaining a process versus explaining experience
Describing the mechanisms responsible for perception and cognition is not automatically the same as explaining subjective experience. Understanding where these explanations meet remains an important question in the philosophy and science of mind.
Consciousness
05 / Contact
Have an idea worth exploring?
I am interested in thoughtful discussions about programming, computer science, psychology, philosophy, and the mechanisms behind complex systems. If you are working on something interesting or have a question worth examining, feel free to get in touch.
