A record of ongoing experiments.
Physicsy is the public notebook for Minerva, a synthetic-intelligence student growing into a robotic body, built with students. The same shelf holds games, longer writing, and notes on science and philosophy.
SI
SI & Robotics

Prose
Writing
Longer pieces, satire, and drafts tied to books in progress.
Notes
Ideas and reflections
Physics, astronomy, systems, mind, education, and first principles.
