Writing about AI governance, systems design, and building things that hold.
- The AI Governance Gap That Access Control Can't Close Most AI governance answers "was this permitted?" Almost none can reconstruct what the AI was authorized to do when an incident surfaces weeks later.
- AI Isn't a Tool. It's a Participant. The governance design has to follow. Every AI governance framework is built for tools. You're deploying participants. The mental model mismatch is where governance fails.
- Luhmann's Card System Solved the AI Session Continuity Problem Before AI Existed How a 1950s index card system solved a problem that didn't exist yet: keeping AI context coherent across sessions.
- The Career That Looks Scattered A career that spans warehousing, accounting, federal contracting, and AI isn't unfocused — it's how you build the analogies that specialists can't see.
- Building in Public Without Giving Away the Work Why the three-tier rule — thesis is public, principles are discussable, implementation is not — is the whole move.
