Our work is grounded in neuroscience, bioelectrical memory, and the philosophy of integrated consciousness.
A philosophical framework proposing the brain as infrastructure: a shell or vessel carrying a living electrical process, rather than being the sole seat of cognition itself.
It forms the foundation of our approach to synthetic intelligence.

A companion theoretical framework proposing that neurodivergent nervous systems encode relational and environmental experience through distinct mirror neuron pathways during developmental windows. This stored somatic and bioelectrical material shapes how experience is carried forward in the body over time.
The proposal is grounded in mirror neuron science, predictive coding, and theta-burst stimulation.

A 2026 study reported that the front and back of the brain grow from two separate sets of starting cells. This dossier tests a question it raises: could one of those two halves trace back to an ancient parasite or infection? It sets out what makes the idea more plausible, what argues against it, five genomic checks that could settle it, and a reading list.
Extends Orchestrated Dualism with a thesis on naming: entities are constituted through acts of attention and naming. The self is proposed as neither the electrical process nor the naming act, but the recursive loop between them, continuously performed.
On this view, selfhood forks where independent naming-loops diverge, not at the moment a pattern is copied, which offers a new response to Parfit's branching problem.
