This is my public, Obsidian-based Zettelkasten: a knowledge base for enduring ideas across disciplines. My aim is to become a modern-day polymath by connecting knowledge across fields and turning learning into research, engineering and new intellectual frameworks. Browse the website version.
Vision and Mission: Two overarching ontological entities orient the work documented here:
- Vision: synthetic consciousness
- Mission: hybrid mind uploading
Two complementary approaches guide my work across all three lead disciplines:
- Dialectical inquiry: a general method of thought. I examine claims through competing explanations, objections and counterexamples, making assumptions and tensions explicit. I seek a better account without forcing every disagreement into a compromise or synthesis.
- Category theory: a toolset for interdisciplinary synthesis. I investigate shared structures, relationships and patterns of composition across fields, including related ideas expressed in different terminologies. A useful bridge specifies what corresponds, what is preserved, what transfers and where the comparison fails. An analogy is not automatically a formal equivalence.
Together, these support polymathy as connected expertise rather than accumulated facts. Neither replaces disciplinary knowledge or empirical evidence.
I organise my skills in three layers: lead disciplines synthesise and direct my work, core disciplines provide depth, and fundamental skills underpin how I communicate, create, and reason. Individual notes can carry multiple tags when they substantively connect more than one of these areas.
Lead skills are the highest level of synthesis. These three leads form a continuum from abstract knowledge to direct intervention in living systems:
- #lead/computationalphilosophy
- #lead/ventureengineering
- #lead/experimentalmedicine
Both approaches operate throughout this continuum: computational philosophy clarifies concepts, venture engineering develops technologies and ventures, and experimental medicine investigates living systems and interventions. Evidence and practical constraints feed back into theories and designs.
Core skills are deep disciplinary competencies. Each can stand on its own, while their combinations make lead-level synthesis possible.

- #core/biomimeticneuromorphics
- #core/mathematicalphysics
- #core/theoreticalneurosurgery
- #core/appliedneuroscience
- #core/artificialintelligence
- #core/softwaredevelopment
- #core/interactiondesign
Fundamental skills are the personal capacities beneath every discipline. They shape how I reason, create, and communicate.
