AI Governance as Accommodation Design

A Pedagogical Framework for Human-AI System Architecture

A whitepaper applying special education pedagogy to AI system architecture. Rather than constraining behavior, accommodation design asks what both systems in the room actually need: the model's processing constraints and the human's.

Input Inversion

Why Unstructured Human Thinking Produces Better AI Output

A whitepaper challenging the foundational assumption of prompt engineering: that quality AI output requires structured human input. Three years of applied evidence demonstrates that raw, unstructured thinking produces better results when purpose-built tools handle the translation.

Lens Extraction

Decomposed Evaluation Through Practitioner-Derived Criteria

A whitepaper proposing lens extraction: a protocol for extracting named practitioners' evaluative frameworks, codifying them as testable criteria, and running multiple lenses independently against the same work. Where they disagree is where the maker's judgment is needed.

Order of the Ætherwright

Symbolic Structure for Creative Work

A symbolic operating system for creative method. Glyphs, a living Codex, and daily ritual that makes the practice explicit enough to defend.

PressWorks

Terminal-Native Print Production

Terminal-native print production. Models plate-by-plate press logic as composable shell operations: CMYK separation, halftone screening, registration offset, grain, color manipulation. Built by a 20-year Adobe user who stopped thinking in Adobe's UI.

A Different Kind of Harness

AI as Cognitive Prosthetic Through Mutual Accommodation

A whitepaper proposing that AI is most productive as a cognitive prosthetic: an extension of the practitioner's thinking through mutual accommodation. The model extends cognitive reach. The practitioner directs cognitive intent. Purpose-built interfaces handle the coupling.

Semantic Flattening and the Case for Human-Marked Importance in AI Memory

Why Machine-Scored Memory Systems Erase What Matters Most

A whitepaper arguing that semantic importance in AI memory is a relationship between content and intent, not a property of content alone. Presents Savepoint Syntax as human-marked semantic hierarchy and contrasts it with machine-determined approaches.

Sovereign Design Engine

Headless Design Pipeline for Print-Ready Output

Headless, code-driven design pipeline. Source images and metadata in, print-ready PDFs out. No Adobe, local-first, offline-capable. Powers Photogeography posters, Versagrams prints, and Deep Cuts book spreads.

This Site

How this site was compiled by hand from a three-year corpus using the tools described on it. The build log for a craftsman's workbench made of AI tools.

Voice Governance

Generation Constraints vs. Post-Hoc Filtering in AI-Mediated Writing

A whitepaper arguing that voice constraints applied during AI text generation produce structurally different output than the same constraints applied as post-hoc filters. Presents a forty-rule voice protocol developed over three years of applied practice.
