Project Atlas
A navigable archive of executable futures. Each entry is a coherent, decision-ready conceptual artifact. Browse by timeline, maturity, or search by keyword.
Invention Atlas, Not Portfolio
The interface must optimize for directional influence and clarity — not persuasion, sales, or personal branding.
Project Lifecycle as a Quality Gate
A simple, explicit lifecycle prevents an invention archive from decaying into a gallery of unfinished thoughts.
Architecture as Time Horizon
Labeling ideas by time horizon prevents feasibility bias and lets concepts age without devaluation.
Field Notes → Crystallized Artefact
The system should preserve raw intuition while forcing it through constraints into a decision-ready artifact.
Quiet Interfaces for Infrastructure
Critical systems should communicate state through calm, continuous signal — not alarms and dashboards that train people to ignore them.
Atlas Navigation as Research
Browsing should feel like orientation in a map — filters as instruments, not e-commerce faceting.
Manufacturing Paradigms as Aesthetics
A product's form language should reveal its manufacturing constraints — making honesty a design advantage.
Non-Social Signal Metrics
Replace popularity mechanics with research-grade dimensions that reward clarity, internal consistency, and feasible pathways.
Restricted Layer as Relationship
Selective access should feel like stewardship and context-building, not a paywall.
The Interstellar Ship as an Institution
Long-horizon vehicles should be designed as governance systems first, machines second.
Plexus Hero as a Cognitive Symbol
A lightweight, optional 3D plexus can signal 'living system' without turning the site into a demo reel.
City-Scale Soft Interfaces
Urban systems can be guided by ambient cues that shape behavior without coercion or surveillance.
