The Agent Is Bigger Than the LLM
What the OpenAI–Hugging Face incident reveals about individual goals, a collective Objective Function, and agenthood across transient model calls.
The Laws Don't Write the Textbook
Anderson said more is different; algorithmic information theory says why — generation is not construction, and finding the macroscopic theory is provably hard.
Truth Without Proof? Gödel, Turing, and Algorithmic Information
Separating truth, proof, computation, and observer access — what the incompleteness theorems do and do not say, and how science certifies improvement without certifying finality.
La ilusión de la no-conciencia
Estamos seguros de que “no estábamos allí” durante las partes de la vida que no podemos recordar. Esa certeza es una inferencia, no una observación — la imagen especular de la ilusión que dice evitar.
L'illusione della non-coscienza
Siamo certi di “non esserci stati” durante le parti della vita che non riusciamo a rievocare. Quella certezza è un'inferenza, non un'osservazione — l'immagine speculare dell'illusione che pretende di evitare.
The Illusion of Non-Consciousness
We are sure we were "not there" during the parts of life we cannot recount. That certainty is an inference, not an observation — the mirror image of the illusion it claims to avoid.
El precio de seguir siendo uno mismo
(Español) Ensayo divulgativo sobre el WP0162: una llama, una bacteria y una persona son patrones cuya materia se renueva sin descanso. Lo que sobrevive es la receta — y sostenerla frente al tiempo se paga en forma de calor.
Il prezzo di restare sé stessi
(Italiano) Saggio divulgativo sul WP0162: una fiamma, un batterio e una persona sono schemi la cui materia viene continuamente sostituita. Ciò che sopravvive è la ricetta — e tenerla in piedi contro il tempo si paga in calore.
The Price of Staying Yourself
A general-audience essay on WP0162: a flame, a bacterium and a person are patterns whose matter is constantly replaced. What survives is the recipe — and holding it against time has to be paid for in heat.
Las cosas que permanecen
(Español) Un linaje filosófico de Pitágoras a la Teoría de Kolmogórov: la forma persistente, de Platón y Aristóteles a los agentes algorítmicos.
Pattern, Persist!
Algorithmic information conservation and the thermodynamics of agency — why a flame, a cell, a mind, and an AI are graded cases of one imperative.
The Things That Stay
A philosophical lineage from Pythagoras to Kolmogorov Theory: persistent form, from Plato and Aristotle to algorithmic agents.
Pattern, Persist: The Algorithmic Agent and the Alignment Problem
Why a bacterium, a brain, a corporation, and an AI are the same kind of thing — and what that tells us about alignment.
Who Is Klaus? Agent Authorship at BCOM
On BCOM's WP0084 agent-authorship policy and how it is operationalized in CALLIOPE.
A Gentle Introduction to the Algorithmic Agent and Kolmogorov Theory
Minds compress, evaluate, and act: the central insight, the minimal architecture, and what KT buys us.
From Third- to First-Person Science
On closing the loop between objective brain science and first-person experience.
The Agentic Compressor
Agentic AI and the compression of intelligence.
Do Bonsai Suffer? Plants, Agency, and Valence under Kolmogorov Theory
On plants, agency, valence, and the ethics of cultivation.
"Consciousness Is Not Computation" — A Confusion of Terms
On why the debate conflates different meanings of computation.
Telehomeostasis: How a Plant Hacked the Human Brain
Nicotine as remote manipulation, on a continuum with mind-controlling parasites.
Swapping Algebraic Twins Without Breaking Math
An introduction to Galois Theory.
From the Sorcerer's Apprentice to Crystal Nights
On AI agency, autonomy, and the path from digital assistants to synthetic minds.
The Rosetta Stone of Neural Mass Models
A shared language for brain dynamics and neural modeling.
What Is an Oscillation, Really? Topology, Compression, and the Circle at the Heart of Brain Rhythms
On the deep structure of oscillations.
Synapses as Springs: Linear Operators, Green–Laplace Tools, and the Origin of E–I Oscillations
Linear operator theory meets excitatory-inhibitory dynamics.
