Writing / Field Notes
Essays
Field notes from between disciplines — neuroscience, security, story, and infrastructure.
- 01Cognitive TopologyA white paper arguing that AI-assisted engineering fails on topology, not capability: roles, memory tiers, handoffs, and specs. A design argument, not a study.
- 02The Break Is the RecordA field note from standing up a claim-verification pipeline: an adversarial pass against a real, falsifiable claim, an evidence ledger corrected in the open, and the moment the discipline caught the pipeline's own prior output overstating a source.
- 03A Fortress That ForgetsHow mazzeleczzare.com got hardened from the foundation up — Astro on Cloudflare, every dependency made to earn the floor, and erasure turned from a wound into an architecture.
- 04The Circuit ClosesA transmission on the physics of constraint. On copper memory, loss functions, and the heat that survives when the glass is gone.
- 05Southern Gothic, Queer Survival, and the Poetry of HauntingAn examination of recurring themes across three poems — mortality, landscape as historical violence, and the formal experiments that attempt to match content with rhythmic structure.
- 06The Jingle of MeOn persuasion, self-recognition, and the terrifying sweetness of a well-fitted prior. What happens when a model doesn't just remember you — it learns your tune?
- 07We All Float OnOn asking artificial collaborators how they'd like to be remembered, and the accidental triptych that resulted — a map of thinking drawn by the tools themselves.
- 08Welcome to the StudioWhat this site is for, what belongs here, and why it now runs as a static-first publishing space.
- 09Static-First Is a DisciplineWhy I still prefer static publishing for personal infrastructure, even when modern frameworks make dynamic everything easy.
- 10Mapping Curiosity Across DisciplinesNeuroscience, brand systems, cybersecurity, story: the connective tissue is curiosity that can survive translation.
- 11Content Strategy as Community PracticeFive years of writing for specific communities rather than abstract audiences — and why that choice produces different work, different metrics, and different relationships.
