Six provinces, one garden — hover to trace the paths between them

AI

agents & memory

Agents, memory and the machines we are teaching to think — and the machines that are teaching us what thinking is not.

Programming

the craft

The craft itself: code as prose, systems that survive contact with humans, and the discipline of the workshop.

Literature

the canon

The canon and the margin — books that shaped the way this garden reads, and the slow practice of reading well.

Philosophy

the questions

The questions underneath: attention, time, meaning, and what a good life for an engineer looks like.

Systems

architecture

Architecture in the largest sense — from a single function to the invisible infrastructure a civilisation runs on.

Cognition

the mind

The mind — memory, learning and forgetting, whether the mind in question is made of neurons or silicon.

The map is never finished. New plants appear, paths are worn deeper, and a few old ones are let go — which is only to say that the garden is alive.
