Writing
Essays, by
category.
11 pieces across 4 categories. Concepts and arguments, not proprietary code. Each category carries a thesis; each essay defends a piece of it.
Category 01
Language
N'Ko, the Manding languages, and what a writing system does inside a machine learning system.
Writing Systems as Infrastructure
3 piecesThe script is not packaging. It decides what models can represent.
Why N'Ko?
A script invented in 1949 to prove a point, and why it matters to machine learning in 2026.
The 10 Sigils
An inscription system: N'Ko characters as a notation for motion.
The Error Rate Is Not Neutral
Character error rate depends on the orthography you measure in. For N'Ko, that changes what the number means.
Sound and Tone
1 pieceTone is lexically contrastive in Manding. Dropping it is not a rounding error.
Category 02
Agents
Autonomous systems that account for their own work: harnesses, rewards, and typed composition.
Harness Design
1 pieceReliability lives in the structure around the model.
Reward and Trajectories
1 pieceIf you don't score your agent's work, you are guessing.
Skills and Composition
1 pieceA skill library you can't typecheck is a folder of prompts.
Category 03
Motion
The body as a signal source: pose, performance, and motion as a first-class input to computation.
Motion as Computation
2 piecesMovement carries structure. Structure can be computed on.
Trajectory Geometry
1 pieceThe same scalar language can describe bodies, conversations, graph paths, and agents.
Category 04
Practice
Research is a daily discipline, not an event. How the work stays honest and current.
The Absorption Loop
1 pieceFive verdicts, one rule: every judgment must be falsifiable.
