A Florida man in St. Louis.
Independent researcher in cognitive science and philosophy of mind.
Based in Edwardsville, Illinois (St. Louis metro).
I build frameworks for understanding how minds remember, drift, and get engineered — and occasionally ship game servers, LSL scripts, and make origami of complex things.

Memory as Baseline Deviation (MBD) Framework Live Lab
I am the author of the Memory as Baseline Deviation framework — a unified relational account of memory, identity, and cognition grounded in predictive processing.
The framework proposes that memory is not the retrieval of stored traces but the continuous computation of deviation from an integrated experiential baseline. From this foundation it derives accounts of childhood amnesia, false memory, memory drift, and the structure of social and psychological influence.
