Updates & Plans

Projects (in-progress):

  • Container: I have recently consolidated all of my own research projects and article sequences under the meta-container of Civilisational Mechanics. 

  • Research Institute, Field, Forum & Fellowship: From this foundation, I am currently working on the conceptualisation and coalition-building of the Concordia Institute: a proposed meta-organisation oriented towards human coordination/alignment problems and the generative mechanisms of existential risk ('the metacrisis'). As a counter-hegemonic force informed by critical political economy, the research institute serves to formulate a holistic philosophy of civilisational progress and post-AGI society. The initial primary projects of Concordia would be the Coordination Forum, the Coordination Fellowship and potentially the first Coordination Con(ference) 2026.

  • Blog Posts I & Ecosystem Map: I plan to write Concordia: An Introduction to Coordination (studies), a new collection of writings, to formally establish the field, provide it with a canonical reference material and construct a foundation for further research. Additionally, another project I am setting up is Coordination Compass [link to be added] )(previously conceptualised as The Metacrisis Map): a landing page for navigating the emerging ecosystem and pointing people in useful directions.

  • Blog Posts II: In concert with this, I plan to write additional critical response posts to the Roots of Progress at Disputes of Progress to develop another node in the wider Coordination eco-system.

  • Wiki Entries: Combined with these efforts, I will complete another 30 concept entries at SourceCodex, (bringing the total to 50 overall) to further clarify and communication the novel conceptual adaptive system supporting Coordination (studies).

  • Timelines: Over the next few months, I am also aiming to double the number of timeline entries Molochian as well as create two new interrelated timelines: Pantopica (on the history total of surveillance 'the Panopticon' re Bentham-Foucault) and Leviathan (on the history of state power 'the Megamachine' and 'Goliath' re Mumford-Kemp).  Together this triad will form a Mythos: a history of metamodern mythology.

  • Literature Maps: As a spin-off from Cybersynergetic and a further parallel to Retrochronic (an inspiration-project by another person),  I also plan to create two new literature map sites Xenocatalytic the framing of capitalism as AI and Protomorphic on the replicator alignment problem. 

 


Recent Projects (developed): 

  • I recently created (the intitial 20 concept entries for) SourceCodeX (source code + codex): a theory-building, wiki-style project for the emerging space intersecting the metacrisis, effective altruism and critical political economy: aiming to cohere concepts from each of these memetic systems into a whole that represents this synthesis (effectively creating the equivalent of the LessWrong & EA Forum Wiki's).

  • I also produced (the intial 20 dated-entries of) Molochian a digital cultural artifact documenting the intellectual history (critical genealogy) of Moloch - the god of destructive competition (coordination failure, negative-sum game theory) and means-ends-reversal - the sacrifice of value (the good, the true and the beautiful) for survival and power.
