The Simulation Hypothesis
Data Science isn't just about predicting crop yields; it's about understanding the mathematical fabric of reality.
The Simulation Hypothesis
A Journey into the Nature of Reality
A deep dive into the computational nature of our universe. From Bostrom’s Trilemma to the physics of information theory, this book explores the possibility that our reality is a high-fidelity rendering. It examines how quantum mechanics resembles optimized code and how consciousness functions as a 'user interface.'
The Data Science Connection
This work demonstrates my ability to synthesize complex topics in Information Theory, Quantum Computing, and AI. It explores the ultimate 'Big Data' problem: the universe itself. Crucially, I propose the 'Divergent Engine' model, viewing the universe as a vast 'Data Farm'—a poetic parallel to my professional work in agricultural data science.
Reality OS
Hacking Your Life with the Simulation Mindset
A practical manual for the human operating system. While my first book explored the physics of a simulated universe, Reality OS asks the practical question: 'If life is a simulation, how do we play it better?' This book applies computer science principles—like debugging, resource optimization, and iterative design—to personal psychology and decision-making.
The Data Science Connection
This book showcases my approach to Algorithmic Thinking and Optimization. I frame personal growth as a data problem: limiting beliefs are 'legacy code,' habits are 'automated scripts,' and decision-making is a 'probabilistic engine.' It demonstrates that I can break down complex, qualitative problems into logical, executable steps—a critical skill for any Data Scientist working with real-world variables.
The Keeper's Manifesto
[DEVRUN] Patch Notes for the Human Experiment
What if Earth had a System Administrator? And what if he was just a middle manager
trying to meet a deadline?
The Keeper’s Manifesto retells the history of humanity—from the dinosaur extinction to
the AI revolution—entirely through Developer Logs and Patch Notes. It tracks the
conflict between 'Otho' (the cold, efficient Senior Architect) and 'Vex' (the empathetic
Junior Dev) as they debug the human race.
CONNECTION: SDLC & SYSTEMS THINKING
This project demonstrates extreme Systems Thinking and domain knowledge of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). I took complex historical events (The Industrial Revolution, The Cold War) and reframed them as 'Optimization Algorithms,' 'Memory Leaks,' and 'Resource Rebalancing.' It highlights my ability to abstract complex biological and sociological trends into logical system states—proving that I can think like an architect.
Iteration 37
The Live Simulation: A High-Fidelity Sci-Fi Thriller
The ultimate test of the Simulation Theory. In a near-future utopia managed by a benevolent AI known as 'The Steward,' poverty and disease have been patched out. But Lead Robotics Engineer Elara Kaine discovers a glitch: the system isn't designed for human happiness; it’s designed for Data Yield.
ETHICAL FORESIGHT & RLHF
This novel allows me to explore the ethical boundaries of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). It simulates the consequences of 'over-optimization'—what happens when an algorithm maximizes for stability at the cost of novelty? It reflects my deep interest in System Architecture, Predictive Modeling, and the philosophy of Information Theory.
