God and the auditor
The introduction and detailed designs in one free book.
Explore →01 / Philosophical inquiry
For me, philosophy begins with the distinctions that shape a decision. What is the actual situation? What do we know about it? Which part is an assumption? Whose purposes are being served, and who takes responsibility for the consequences? These questions belong inside the work itself.
I explore how values, knowledge, and action can be brought into a coherent process. A useful explanation should help someone see what to examine next, what would count as a result, and what new experience might require them to reconsider.
02 / Practical design
My practical interests include woodworking, digital manufacturing, and the organization of small enterprises. In developing these project concepts, I work through the connection between the intended product and the people, equipment, materials, time, and resources needed to produce it.
I pay particular attention to the complete working cycle: how a request becomes a task, how the work is carried out and checked, and how the organization restores its capacity for the next task. This is where abstract design meets maintenance, coordination, and the everyday conditions of useful work.
03 / Human judgment
I approach AI as a medium for organizing inquiry and testing ways of working. In BOIS and the M1/M3 designs, I make evidence, assumptions, open questions, memory, and responsibility explicit. The aim is to help people understand the basis of a decision and remain active participants in making it.
I am also interested in cooperation that creates value for its participants. A worthwhile system should produce something useful while preserving people's ability to think, choose, learn, and continue their work.
04 / Work to read and use
God and the auditor brings these questions together in an introduction and detailed system designs. MaOS explores a related set of questions through a settlement-management game: limited knowledge, competing needs, and decisions whose consequences carry forward.
I share the book freely so that others can read it, question it, try its ideas, and develop applications of their own. The work continues through new editions, practical trials, and conversations about what the ideas make possible.
