Hello, I have been working on research projects in the field of quantum biology and came across your blog. I wanted to comment that the questions you are trying to ask are under open investigation by our research team with a recent NSF grant pitch which was accepted by the agency. "Consciousness" resolves the perceptual binding problem, the measurement problem, the equivalent of backpropagation in…
My conversation with UCSD about Project GRADUS KerrSense is one product I have under development through Dreamscape Systems Inc. that couples Majorana-like vortex photons to the gravitomagnetic field, opening a route to gravimetry sensitive enough to measure gravitational waves and signatures. Another avenue that I am developing is a proposal for Project GRADUS: Gravimetric Recovery of Abyssal…
Partnership letter from North Carolina State University I've recently secured a partnership with North Carolina State University to weave waste cellulose (plant material) into extreme high temperature fabrics. More info to come.
In my life I've learned many things on the fly through trial and error because nobody really tells people what they need to know. I think that there is a crisis not only in education but with the so-called AI bubble, and recently, I refused to interview with Anthropic for a research position because of what is going on and after the CEO came out recently referring to his employees as…
Underneath electrochemical processes and dendrites, optical spin channels are one area that cells communicate. Understanding both layers can be used to develop better chips I am pleased to announce my partnership with Purdue on Project AXON. What I hope to glean from this partnership in coordination with Project BLUEBIRD is to develop newer chips that effectively mimic the way in which the brain…
Take healthy adults, restrict them to six hours in bed a night, and after two weeks their performance on attention tasks has degraded to roughly what you would see in someone who had been awake for two straight nights. The deficits accumulate. There is no adaptation, no settling in, no toughening up. The part that matters operationally is what those subjects reported about themselves. Their sense…
Letter of support from Dr. S Michael Angel Many years ago in a dorm room in college, I used lasers to measure the width of a hair by measuring the interference pattern of light scattered against a back wall: https://www.instructables.com/Homemade-Quantum-Laser-Micrometer-Nestors-Microm There is a good amount of information that you can gather from the properties of light in unexpected ways.…
The key to understanding how the brain operates so efficiently at only 20 watts of electricity could come from a better understanding of how migratory birds' internal compass helps them navigate seasonal flights. While attending the University of California, Berkeley in 2010-2012 I was interested deeply in the topic of what distinguishes the human mind from machines, and what endows people with…
A presentation on consciousness, post-quantum cryptography, the black hole information paradox, and why the dominant singularity narrative may be inverted. Prepared for the American Physical Society and Information Physics Institute conferences 2026. Video presentation: https://youtu.be/Zr4Q27MFsRY These supposedly "fringe" or "speculative" or "unverifiable" ideas have been taken seriously by the…
A presentation on lattice-based cryptography, the shortest vector problem, and its surprising connections to consciousness, biophotons, and the black hole information paradox. Video presentation: https://youtu.be/jSqeYz8Wh-Q Introduction Today I would like to present on the topic of possible vulnerabilities of post-quantum cryptography to emerging physics beyond the standard model. This is a…
A presentation on cybernetics theory and the late-stage dynamics of complex societies, with implications for how we should interpret "the technological singularity." Video presentation: https://youtu.be/HhQtzPtoncE Media Coverage: https://ninza7.medium.com/the-ai-revolution-is-eating-itself-alive-967b6e2ed1b3 Introduction I want to present on cybernetics theory as it relates to the current…
Light can be made to carry orbital angular momentum. The wavefront spirals around the propagation axis like a corkscrew, and the beam profile takes on a characteristic doughnut shape with a dark center. This is "OAM light," and it has a property that makes it interesting for sensing rotating things: when an OAM beam reflects off a smooth rotating surface, it picks up a Doppler shift proportional…
Tesla coils, Majorana towers, and the spectral fingerprint connecting two Millennium Prize problems. In my free time, I used to build audio-modulated solid state Tesla coils as a hobbyist. The physics of the plasma streamers that came off those coils fascinated me (vacuum tube driven tesla coils produce long spearlike arcs without bufurcations and fractal patterns, what causes them?), and as it…
The data center arms race is a confidence trick that is doomed to fail due to the underlying physics which makes our brains work differently and orders of magnitude more efficiently. In spite of attempts to undermine the credibility of theories of consciousness reliant on new physics, they are nonetheless credible enough to continue to demand the attention of the world's top academics, scientists,…
What if our newest "quantum-resistant" cryptographic standards are vulnerable to neglected physics at the intersection of quantum and classical approaches and physics beyond the standard model? I want to walk you through something I've been thinking about since I was a student of Fields Medalist Richard Borcherds at UC Berkeley. Borcherds specializes in lattice mathematics and string theory, and…
My new computational study maps the OAM scattering channel of Kerr in painstaking detail. Here is what it found, why it matters, and where it falls short.

Last year, I was employed at Microsoft as a senior engineer. What happened to me there, and what I've since learned is happening to hundreds of others, should alarm everyone working in tech. https://substack.com/home/post/p-192472108 Microsoft has been systematically gaslighting, scapegoating, and wrongfully terminating employees while publicly claiming its layoffs are about "flattening…
Trevor Nestor v Microsoft state of Washington and federal government investigation into Microsoft, forming the basis for a possible class action lawsuit and broader movement for tech company accountability. Employees are often put on retaliatory or inactionable PIPs at these tech companies as a form of gaslighting to scapegoat their own engineers for poor management decisions - violations of labor…
I have recently been drafting some papers on the idea of AGSI (artificial general superintelligence) as well as the so-called technological singularity described by Sam Altman, and in my view, most people I've seen working on the subject have the wrong view.

Horseshoe theory argues that in late stage societies, political extremes converge. A better more accurate model is to view the political spectrum from the perspective of IR->UV physics normally used to understand the collapse of stars into black holes. As socioeconomic support systems collapse, either revolution/civil war or imperialism are an inevitable result of a fold catastrophe over the…
