In 2026, I have positioned myself as a Systems Thinker and Author with focus on AI and future of

interdisciplinary study — bridging technology, evolution, coordination systems, and the
future trajectory of intelligence. I write not to predict the future, but to understand the constraints
that shape what remains possible.
