Computational Creativity · Machine Consciousness · Digital Art
Active Inference · Bioelectricity · Distributed Governance · Fractal Geometry
Available for AI research consulting, speaking, and collaboration.
I work at the intersection of fractals, computational creativity, machine consciousness, bioelectricity, and distributed governance — building tools, research programs, and artworks that explore mathematics, code, living systems, and consciousness.
- Machine consciousness — artificial sentience, active inference, and philosophy of mind
- Computational creativity — generative systems, digital art, and creative AI
- Bioelectricity — morphogenesis, collective intelligence, and living computation
- Distributed governance — blockchains, coordination systems, and alternative economics
- Fractal geometry — mathematical aesthetics, code, and visual form
| Project | Area | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CIMC Philosophy Review | Research journal | Artificial sentience, active inference, and philosophy of mind |
| Bioelectricity Nexus | Research | Bioelectric morphogenesis and collective cellular intelligence |
| distributed-governance | GitHub | Definitions and bibliographies for governance, blockchains, law, and consciousness |
| Etherea | GitHub | Multiverse, Ethereum, Mars, AI, and speculative systems |
| EtherCasts | Ethereum | Early smart-contract education and Ethereum ecosystem work |
I’m interested in collaborations around:
- AI consciousness and active inference
- Computational creativity and digital art
- Bioelectricity, morphogenesis, and artificial life
- Distributed governance and coordination systems
- Research writing, talks, and speculative design
