Field Notes

Research in Progress

This is where investigation happens in real time—raw observations, AI conversation transcripts, experiments being tested, ideas half-formed, patterns emerging from noise. Nothing here is finished. Much of it contradicts itself. That's the point.

Field Notes are not blog posts. They're not polished essays with clear conclusions and actionable takeaways. They're documentation of inquiry as it unfolds—including dead ends, course corrections, and "wait, what if..." moments that lead nowhere.

If you want finished work, see the Library. If you want to watch research develop, you're in the right place.
