The phronesis penrose: an impossible triangle in three tones of pink, its three faces labelled define goal state, compare problem state and realize goal state, running head to tail around an empty centre labelled problem state.

Portfolio.

Everything below is built, deployed and running right now, and every entry links to the thing itself rather than a picture of it. If a link here is dead, the portfolio is wrong — which is the point of showing work this way.

One person: design, code, writing, deployment. The through-line is the same in all of it — a system has a ground state, everything else is displacement, and displacement costs something to hold.

phronesis.worldproduct · design · engineering · writing

The site you are on. A radial wheel as the interface rather than a nav bar — the centre is the ground state and twelve modes radiate from it, all equal, all returnable. Designed, built, written and deployed by one person.

Identity designmethod · brand identity

Building this studio’s own name, mark, slogan and callout turned out to be a method rather than a checklist: four parts, each doing a job no other can, in a fixed order — and two of them the two everyone confuses. Written up, given away, and then made runnable.

the method, and a tool that builds yours
Spectral Grammarml · edge api · engineering

Language structure measured as a graph and read through its eigenvalues. A trained model behind a Cloudflare Worker, serving a live endpoint that the studio’s own tools consume — and corrected in public when the number turned out to reward repetition rather than clarity.

deployed, load-bearing, and its limits documented
Laserbrainsystem · instrument

A living weather field with its own state — heat, moisture, vitality, stress, rotation — that you read, interpret, and speak back to in eight words. Runs as a daemon with an API, and the site reads it three different ways.

shipped, running, and read by /field/knot
The instrumentsinteraction design · browser tools

Sixty-odd things you can actually run: an oscillator you displace and watch return, two fields phase-locking across the internet, a comfort knot, a line you trace to read your own steadiness. Each one makes an abstract claim touchable, which is the whole design thesis in practice.

every one runs in the browser, no account

27 modules and 141 pages reading mind, perception and design through one idea. Written, designed, typeset, priced and sold — and every lesson is free to read in full on the site, because the price buys the artifact and never the access.

74 papers here, plus 65 standalone deposits with DOIs on Zenodo out of 971 records in total. Several exist mainly to say where a borrowed idea stops holding — including this studio’s own.
