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.

~ 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.

i minted my first nft collection as a full-time artist. the work is built from a hopfield network, one of the most fundamental forms of neural network. it learns different writing systems, then begins to forget them. as its memories decay, it starts producing glyphs it was never taught.

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:

fed the hopfield network chinese glyphs this time - radicals and components instead of latin letters. as memory decays it starts drafting characters that don’t exist - forgetting becomes a way of inventing.

sometimes i wake up, look at my phone, and instantly feel overwhelmed by the pull to absorb more info. so im building the opposite: a way to revisit things that already inspired me (a graph of the Are.na channels i follow) visually it's hugely inspired by CAIDA's walrus: a constant imagery of flowers of knowledge

can ai agents invent writing on their own? recent pet project: 2 agents share a world but each sees only half. their only communication: 7×7 pixel glyphs. they develop symbols, build theories of meaning, and evaluate their own writing. no convergence yet but fascinating to watch!

trying to use topological data analysis to map the shape of my x bookmarks through mapper + embedding extraction and generated 3 views: - density: where attention keeps gravitating - pca: the dominant axes of variation - centroid: center vs edge (typical -> outlier)

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.

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.

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

i built a dashboard for my claude code sessions: 254 sessions across 58 projects over 3 months 🤖🧚‍♀️ - 3d terrain map of token usage over time - session cards with first/last prompts, hover to expand - click to resume any past session in-browser - activity heatmaps, project treemaps code available for my x subscribers <3

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!

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😌 💜🫶

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 <3

turned this into a web app you can use with your own obsidian vault! no install, just one html file: point it at your notes folder, it embeds everything with gemini, clusters by meaning, and renders the 3d network in your browser. available now for x/twitter subscribers <3

had a lot of fun playing with fable 5 today: - a visualization of the words llms tend to use when given vague prompts ("beautiful", "unique", "poetic", .etc) - a word x physics simulation game inspired by the great - some animations (mostly one shot)
