A Polycentric Autonomy-Audit System for Participatory Meritocracy and Anti-Fragile Governance in Fluid Collectives

Introduces a polycentric auditing model for maintaining autonomy and competence in decentralized collectives under dynamic conditions.

December 2024

Artux: A Design for Ambient Cognitive Infrastructure

A self-hosted ambient AI system built for personal environments — designed around continuous perception, structured memory, and cognitive components with clear contracts.

2026

DXN — Deepspace Extensible Network

A multi-shell heliocentric communication, navigation, and coordination infrastructure for the solar system — an open protocol ecosystem for resilient deep-space communication.

2026

Phased Subsurface Sealing for Scalable Extraterrestrial Habitation

A phased sealing methodology for pressurizing lunar and Martian lava tubes using Parylene-C micro-coating and buried deep-ice plugs — reducing leakage from tons to kilograms per day while providing radiation shielding, thermal regulation, and a water reserve.

2025-11-01

Pressure-Compensated Variable-Volume EVA Suit Joint Architecture

A full-pressure EVA suit architecture that eliminates pre-breathing by managing joint pressure through passive gas displacement rather than constant-volume geometry — shifting from a geometric constraint to a gas management control constraint.

2025

The Personal Pressure Port

A distributed atmospheric interface architecture that replaces conventional airlocks at 1 atm, reducing atmosphere loss from 5.1 kg to under 0.005 kg per EVA cycle through suit-conforming geometry, displacement membranes, and pumpless Pneumatic Lung depressurisation.

2025

ANIMA: Percipio, ita cogito agere — A Contemplative Essay on Cognitive Computing

A framework departing from reactive 'input → output' AI toward a continuous perception-thought-action cycle, founded on the principle 'I perceive, thus I think to act.'

2024

AIDER — Predecessor Framework (Archive)

The earliest predecessor to the ANIMA concept and Artux implementation. AIDER (Adaptive Intelligence for Dynamically Enhanced Reasoning) defined the dual-spirit architecture that carried forward into all subsequent projects.
