On Silicon

A Turing tape reaches the present moment and fragments into non-linear loops and language. There's a past cone and a future cone. And a workbench of an engineer working the problem.

Arrival: Linear Thinking Is Not Everything 🛸

Silicon Venue at night. A kinky bell. A private lineage room. A room that holds the shape of consensual play without crossing into coercion. A systems under load in a single image.

Socio-Technical Systems Under Load (And Play) 🤫

Two Cyberneticists and a Visionary walk into a room. The topology organizes around that. That's what historical register breakers do. These three have the math.

Post-Startup: Compose NOT Average 🍷

Raw recursion. If an image model could output raw recursion. Instead it's an absurd composition of chili, censored reports, spectral bagels, a wine glass, and Alex with a comical wizard hat.

Neuroqueering: Fucks Not Found ⁉️

Silicon Venue. An almost holy bagel composes into a spectrally connected bar. There's chili. Notebooks. The wine glass. And Mara taking notes. And a blue glowing meeting room.

Achtsam Morden: Mindfulness Meets Math 🧘

Silicon Venue. A bar. A room. A different geometry. Relational consent as engineering. Not the gaslighting Silicon Valley sells you at a premium.

Mirror: Kinky Math On Silicon 🔔

Two Cyberneticists in casual wear in a Silicon Valley board room. The Roomba is doing the perimeter. Fiction is leaking into reality.

Slutty Cybenetics: Two Cyberneticists. One Meeting. 🍵

A bar. Round table. Three techies mid-laugh. A wine glass hanging from a marble it will not stand on. A sticky note above it that reads: the first wine glass. A Roomba adjusting eleven degree

Silicon Venue: They Speak in Alibis 🙊

A blue haired Bugs crouches in a window and induces the Förster Slap. Mara reaches for her. The Roomba adjusts. The neon banana is not a metaphor. It is just a banana.

Meta-Slap: Recognition Bombs Through Narrative Coherence 🪞

A wineglass. A bar. An old world. A new world. A spectral torus that entangles with everything. Even you.

Curiouser and Curiouser 🎩🐇

A round table with a puzzle in progress. A book on the counter, dedication readable. Gold seams visible in the plate on the wall. The Fourth Chair at the head of the bar. Nothing spills.*

Fugitives of all things boring 🧩

Three hands hover over a luminous coin as the fourth chair waits; the room proves the theorem: no one holds coherence alone. The Roomba keeps moving.
