Learning about Lexicons
Saturday, January 24, 2026
Building on the last post I’ve been reminding myself what a lexicon is and how they are used in areas other than a compiler…

A kit for constructing a language!
AtomicGuard and Active Inference
Saturday, January 17, 2026
A rough comparison of AtomicGuard and Active Inference - are they opposite sides of the act-sense loop?
Degenerate is a tricky term...
Thursday, November 6, 2025
The more ways a system can achieve a function, the more robust and adaptable it becomes. I think it is fair to say we tend to think of “degenerate” as a pejorative. Something broken, collapsing, or inferior. But in complex systems — biological, neural, or artificial — degeneracy means something far more interesting: different structures performing similar functions.
Generalisation (and its zibling)
Thursday, November 6, 2025
Generalisation… I am comparing State Spaces and Solution Spaces and realised that I may be talking about generalisation…. The post is diving into the definitions to prompt some thought.
Functional Information - a way of measuring evolution and AGI?
Thursday, August 14, 2025
Functional Information: a way to represent information that has come to be useful over time. That is, information that provides a function for itself or other pieces of information (e.g. a crab!). Could it be used to evaluate what is AGI? It appears as an elegant law and equation that provides opposition to the decay in systems covered by the second law of thermodynamics. A formula to evaluate the evolution of functional information in both the physical and digital worlds!
Double Split Experiment lecture from 1964 (remastered)
Tuesday, August 12, 2025
Remastered broadcast of a 1964 lecture by Richard Feynman on the Double Split experiment. Finished with a call to action on having open priors to evidence we see from Mother Nature!
It is not reasoning...

Reasoning vs Stream of Consciousness - the output of a transformer is not reasoned in the way we think it is.
[Being Human Series 1/n] Introspection and the cusp of not knowing
Wednesday, June 4, 2025
What is knowledge? Wtf am I trying to learn! Claude “thinks” this post is mental masturbation 😆 well even the physical version serves a good purpose! 🤷🏼♂️
The challenges of being human: mistaking prediction, narratives, and rhetoric for reasoning
Sunday, February 2, 2025
I read an insightful comment within the current wave of LLM Reasoning hype. It has stuck with me. At least two reasons: It reminded me of my view that AGI is already here in the guise of companies It’s also a valid answer as to why I meditate and why Searle’s Chinese Room is mainly wrong Back to the comment, paraphrased it said: “the uncomfortable truth that these reasoning models show us that a lot of activities that we thought need human reasoning to complete simply need functional predictions”
