~ memory is a flock of birds ~ i built a hopfield network and taught it the alphabet - then watched it remember in real time by adjusting the temperature. no neuron has the whole picture. the memory is distributed across every neuron’s connections.

experiment with a memory system that keeps rewriting itself: a hopfield network remembers an alphabet. as memories decay, it begins to hallucinate glyphs it was never taught - forgetting becomes a way of inventing.

one direction from this that excites me: a learning base instead of a storage one: not for what you already know, but for what you don't. made one for deep reading of plato's timaeus. 2 things i carried over: non-rag, indexed fs, and /raw-is-sacred to separate sources from generated content. a few features i find genuinely helpful:

if you are a new follower, i've been doing these gestural experiments for a while now. eventually i wanna build tools that manipulate symbolic thinking in an embodied and intuitive way. e.g. using hands to explore latent spaces like this: or make music thru interfaces like this: i'm currently full-time working and self funding all these projects. if you happen to be feeling generous at the moment, please consider becoming a paid subscriber at my substack. this could help me just go a bit further😌 💜🫶

i feel a personal website should be a vessel for the multitudes we contain, so i made a gemstone to hold mine. the original 3 planes now grew to 20 facets/themes. every particle is a work. like a prism, hover a facet and a different side of me comes out.

all my obsidian notes are now a living, digital garden 🌿🌸 each plant is a notes from a tag: older ones on the trunk, newer ones as leaves. i wanted to create a sense of tending your garden, so scrubbing the timeline lets you watch your notes grow chronologically.

exploring shapes of thoughts: extracted my obsidian notes' embeddings and arranges them as a 3d network using 3 different topologies: - centralized: one core idea connecting all - decentralized: notes cluster into themed hubs - distributed: edges labeled by llm describing how ideas connect

what if our notes behaved like force fields? a conceptual demo of shaping ideas by gesture: - draw a thread, the notes fields shape the ideas on the thread - focus on one idea, move the surrounding fields closer or farther and see how it changes

been working on this tool that turns memorable conversations into structured, searchable notes: - visual map of books/ppl/ideas - click them to hear the context - search the whole transcript - export to markdown - share almost ready for beta users - shoot me a dm if interested!

what does ai actually add to open-ended creative work? my first attempt at giving it a process signature: from a real project's transcripts i pulled 146 ideation events; the cubes are the moments ai forked the ideas open, laid along a 3d chronological trace of the sessions.

the feature ive been working on: cross-pollination of ideas. ✦ particles drift between plants: when one touches two, it generates a brand new idea from both. a garden that doesn't just show your thinking - it extends it. releasing to x subscribers today &lt;3
