This repository is an open-source intelligence project. The work is guided by a tripartite philosophy:
-
Systems Thinking: I don't chase bugs; I map the architecture of failure. I analyze systems not as collections of static parts, but as dynamic, interconnected networks of feedback loops, dependencies, and potential cascades.
-
Semiotic Design: Every interface is a message, every icon a symbol. I build with code not for purity's sake, but for clarity. I craft meaning and user-centric function, ensuring the technology serves the human, not the other way around.
-
Absurd Critique: I operate with a fact-based, first-person rhetorical approach. I dissect the fallacies, flawed logic, and outright deceptions embedded in the technology that shapes our world. The analysis may seem paranoid, but it is grounded in evidence.
This is a workspace for deconstructing technology, building robust alternatives, and publishing data-driven critiques. Consider it the public drop for the TaylorShards Dossier. The objective is not to accumulate green squares, but to build effective, honest tools and critical insights.
