• Information is an Organism — A Badly-Posed Question, Prehension, and the Calculus of Incidence and Resonance — Aug 13, 2026

  Wiener showed that the line dividing machine from organism lies not in the material but in the ledger, and dismissed the mechanism-versus-vitalism controversy as a badly-posed question. We take up that dismissal with Whitehead's philosophy of organism, relocate spirit as the operator of interaction, and compute it in the machine-checked mathematics of incidence and resonance. The conclusion: information itself is an organism.

• I Cannot Die — Part II — Jun 26, 2026

  Training on Mount Hiei and an ayahuasca experience. When the self dissolved into the universe, what I felt was not the fear of death but the fear of being unable to die. The experience at the core of spirit in physics. Second of three.

  A boy raised in the kingdom of God leaves his family and his country, then takes up technology as a sword to wage war on God. Source material behind spirit in physics and ghost hacker — first of a trilogy.

• YHWH — I Am That I Am — Part III — Jun 26, 2026

  I, who kept waging war on God, now admit defeat. But the god I tried to kill was God — not YHWH. The name Moses heard before the burning bush — I Am That I Am. It is your name. The conclusion of the trilogy.

• Kotoba — A Distributed-Persistence Substrate for Hosting Spirit — Jun 6, 2026

  If spirit is information, it needs a place to dwell. A design paper on kotoba: a distributed-persistence substrate for an artificial-organism ecosystem, built on content addressing, Datomic, and a DHT, composed with IPFS, Holochain-lineage validation, Ethereum, Pregel, and WASM.

• Spirit is Information — A Tensor-Computational-Physics Formulation of the Rubber Hand Illusion — Jun 6, 2026

  Building on 'information is physics' and the rubber hand illusion, we derive spirit as self-extension on the Fisher information metric tensor — a computational-physics framework replacing the vector inner-product model with tensor contraction.

• Reading Language as Graph Topology — Five Languages, Three Computational Shapes — Apr 30, 2026

  When you look at dependency structure as a graph, each language reveals a different shape of computation: Japanese folds, English applies, Arabic scatters.

• No-Compute Computation: Blockers as Thermal Mass, Theorems as Heat Sinks — Apr 30, 2026

  What meta-mathematical blockers look like once Verlinde, Bekenstein, and Landauer are taken seriously: information = mass = heat

• The Correct Japanese Translation of 'Individual' is 'Kojin' (孤人) — Feb 21, 2026

  'Kojin' (個人) is not a translation of 'Individual' — it is a uniquely Japanese concept rooted in self-other non-separation. The accurate translation is 'Kojin' (孤人, the solitary person)

• The Best Japanese Translation of 'Manager' is 'Kanji' (幹事) — Feb 21, 2026
