Putting the "I" Back into BI
Semantic Webs of Meaning: Building Contextual Knowledge Graphs for Deduction and Integration (set for mid-September 2026 publication) is about the critical role of knowledge graphs in an era already overflowing with data, software, business intelligence, and remarkably capable AI. Much of what people and organizations actually know still remains implicit—in the meanings of things, the Continue…
This blog describes the Time Molecules process for the analysis of adversarial situations. That includes frauds, competitive games such as Texas Hold em Poker, and any other situation where imperfect information is the key asset. Beyond sheer skill, good adversaries rely on stealth, sleight-of-hand, misinformation/disinformation, information overload, mimicry (impersonation), etc. Adversaries…
Today, May 15, 2026, is the launch of the Spring 2026 Refresh/Update of my book, Time Molecules, is available. This is not a new edition of the book, but a significant expansion of the material I ve placed in its supplemental GitHub repository and this blog site. The refresh expands on the core ideas, strengthening the Continue reading Time Molecules 2026 Refresh/Update
Abstract AI agents are not just about producing answers—they are executing processes. If those processes emit events for each step, they can be studied the same way we study human and enterprise workflows. By capturing and analyzing these event streams, we can reconstruct the context behind agent decisions and understand how AI-driven systems actually operate Continue reading AI Agents, Context…
Abstract In The Assemblage of AI architecture, System 2 is modeled after the deliberate reasoning processes described in human cognition. But rather than focusing on psychology, this article examines what System 2 produces inside an AGI system. The outputs are not merely answers to questions but structured artifacts such as stories, plans, procedures, and models. Continue reading The Products of…
In the conclusion of my last blog, Chains of Unstable Correlations, I wrote: When you work around experts long enough, you notice that experts sometimes (usually?) forget what isn’t obvious to non-experts. Conversely, people in the field often see things experts overlook because they live inside the operational texture of the system. After a conversation Continue reading An Interlude Before the…
Introduction Like it or not, competition is arguably the biggest force affecting how things in our world work, in terms of both evolution and society. Without competition among genes, at the least, life on Earth wouldn t be as it is today. And for better or worse, societal competition at various levels (individual, tribes/cities, countries) wouldn t Continue reading Chains of Unstable Correlations
Abstract This blog introduces the Explorer Subgraph, a navigational knowledge structure designed to support System ⅈ (the ⅈ as in the imaginary number). I introduced System ⅈ a few weeks ago in my blog, System ⅈ: The Default Mode Network of AGI. The Explorer Subgraph is a background, always-on layer of intelligence that operates below conscious Continue reading Explorer Subgraph—The Dynamic…
Abstract: TL;DR Preface—The System ⅈ Origin Story For my AI projects back in 2004, SCL and TOSN, the main architectural concept centered on how I imagined our conscious and subconscious work. In my notes, I referred to the conscious as the single-threaded consciousness . The single-threaded consciousness made sense to me because we have just one Continue reading System ⅈ: The Default Mode Network…
