Now
October 2026
A dated page of what I am actually working on, in the spirit of /now. Updated when the season changes. Older entries stay below — the record keeps its history.
Working on
- Engineering Mythology II. The 2026 incarnation of Navagunjara Reborn as a paper: the interregnum as dataset, the digital twin as the canonical persistent pattern, and reincarnation — regeneration under transformation — as a design pattern for ephemeral public art.
- Spectral kernel dynamics for planetary surfaces. Bringing the kernel-dynamics framework to the lab's own ground: terrain as graphs, distinction dynamics, and what is conserved.
- Calibrating twins against the world. The lab's central open problem: whether inference on a twin transfers to the original. The balanced-rock experiments say how far a simulation can be trusted.
- This site. Bringing the public record current — the indices had frozen at different years, and none of them contained the present program.
Holding form
- The Navagunjara temporary importation bond closes 2027-07-11. Until then, the form is held. Zanshin.
Reading, practicing
- Archery. Wind, flag, release.
Earlier
September 2026
Navagunjara Reborn returned to Black Rock City with a dragon's head, stood, breathed fire, and was released. The film of the build was cut to run backward, ending in Odisha.
Summer 2026
A new head of wired aluminum scales fabricated in Reno; surviving cane and bronze reintegrated. Customs extension granted. Four preprints posted between March and April.
