- Permissionless IntelligenceMost countries can't build a gigawatt AI campus, and most operators can't rent one. Open models are now good enough that they don't have to — what's missing is a network anyone can join, run a node on, and provide AI to. Notes on building Tenzro, and why it matters for small nations and independent operators.July 2, 2026
- The Gating of IntelligenceWhen access to the most capable AI models becomes conditional, gated, and revocable overnight, the case for verifiable and distributed systems stops being ideological and becomes practical.July 1, 2026
- Who Does the Agent Answer To?AI agents can now hold money and spend it — the payment rails arrived this spring. Identity, liability, and governance are being retrofitted afterward, and that order is backwards.June 16, 2026

- VestigimA music catalog has priced two things for a century — masters and publishing, both records of what an artist already made. Vestigim maps the two layers nobody has held as assets: how an artist decides, and how they sound. Living models of artistry that machines can read.March 27, 2026
- Furcate: Decentralized Edge Intelligence for the Era of Physical AI and World ModelsFurcate is a base-layer framework that turns everyday edge devices into verifiable intelligence nodes for physical AI and world models.February 24, 2026
