Essays on AI, and shorter field notes from the lab.

The Substrate Problem

Methodology

A behavioural claim about “LLM agents,” measured on a single model, is mostly a claim about that model.

Reflection Is Not Control

Agents

Making an agent narrate its failures is an interpretability win, not a capability one.

Make the Model Commit

Reasoning

Free-text reasoning is cheap and ungradeable. Make the model emit something a solver can falsify.

Reading the Failure Logs

Craft

What I actually look at when an agent fails.

Against the Fake Demo

Practice

Why this site ships negative results and unfinished prototypes.

The Map Is Not the Prompt

Spatial

Converting continuous 3D coordinate space into flat textual coordinates strips away the spatial hierarchies LLMs need to reason.

Limits of Procedural Solvers

Craft

Why pure rules-based generators produce "too clean" worlds and how we seed structural chaos.
