We solve that problem in a different manner. Our knowledge system allows the user to define the AST token based pattern for the shape of the text to extract from the documents. This is applied on first read and creates a queryable side channel interface to the document that acts both as attention surface for understanding and as an output surface (COW, emits an edge layer over the source document on charge) for agency.

It's like a regex but applied to the structure of the document itself that generates its own control plane.

The LLM has full access to the document or to the control plane, in either mode so we can target specific meanings to focus context or let it explore to find new patterns


I think the biggest benefit is bandwidth more so than efficiency. This gives you multiple streams to mux which and a means to control their mixing.

The biggest innovation I think may have been accidental. The doubly stochastic matrix implements conservation on the signal stream.

Treating the signal like the information it is as we do in any other domain is crucial for maintaining its coherence. We don't allow a network router to generate more packets than it receives for the same reason.


Are you aware that there are certain members of your very own species that are as intelligent as you or I, who lack those qualia.

Non standard cognitive architectures are already coherent. Even if they were, why do you think qualia cannot be replicated with a similar signal to semantic meaning? Are there additional dimensions that we can feel that we've never talked about or more importantly, written down?


I took that idea just as far as I could and landed here

It parses the AST out of it and then has a play

We're using it as an agentic control plane for a fortune 500s developer platform.

Keep going with yours, you'll find it


We propose SyneState: a communication prosthetic built on DeepSeek's Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections (mHC) architecture. By parameterizing cross-channel mixing as a doubly-stochastic matrix constrained to the Birkhoff polytope, we can: (1) induce machine synesthesia—stable, tunable cross-modal binding between latent streams; (2) learn personalized binding matrices that approximate individual cognitive architectures; and (3) translate between compression levels—expanding high-compression encodings into explicit single-channel representations and vice versa.

  For mHC implementers, SyneState is a direct application of manifold-constrained mixing to cross-modal binding. For cognitive science and clinical researchers, it offers a candidate prosthetic for the double-empathy problem: bridging communication gaps not by "fixing" either party, but by learning the translation between different cognitive compression schemes.

  All required components—multi-stream residuals, Sinkhorn projection, multimodal attention heads—exist in production stacks today. This is integration work, not research.

Besides, if everyone could paint the Sisten Chapel, then we'd have works equivalent to the Sistene Chapell everywhere.

Why is that a problem?

That to me sounds like the opposite of a problem.

Used effectively, these tools are elevators, enhancing the capabilities of everything they touch.

Telling them to paint you a picture results in the word you envision.

Painting a picture with them is how you see mine


Is art then just the outcome? The artifact that was produced?

What's your criteria then for who is allowed to produce art? If allowing everyone to create it lessens its value such that it becomes worthless, there must be a cutoff.

If your goal is to ensure the continuity of human expression, limiting who is allowed to create art and narrowly defining art to great works kind of misses the point.


I've been doing it for months, it's lovely

It's a stack based on finishing the job Jupyter started. Fences as functions, callable and composable.

Same shape as an MCP. No training required, just walk them through the patterns.

Literally, it's spatially organized. Turns out a woman named Mrs Curwen and I share some thoughts on pedagogy.

There does in fact exist a functor that maps 18th century piano instruction to context engineering. We play with it


I had a sickie yesterday with nothing better to do than attempt to prove isomorphism across domains

Like drawing lines on a mids menu but for grown ups when the price is right isn't on


Two systems are isomorphic when they admit the same morphisms—when the set of valid transformations applicable to one equals those applicable to the other.

If Hom(X, DNS) ≅ Hom(X, Filesystem) for all relevant X, then DNS ≅ Filesystem.

Wherein we prove it is
