SourceCodeX (source code + codex) is a theory-building project for the emerging space intersecting the metacrisis, critical political economy, AI alignment and effective altruism. The purpose of the codex is to synthesise concepts from these frames into a coherent totality - effectively creating the equivalent of the LessWrong (1154) & EA Forum Wikis (750) for a new hybrid lexicon.
Through formulating definitions and visualisations of significant abstractions (the metaphorical 'source code'), the codex functions to advance this combinatorial process and the conceptual adaptive system it forms. As well as hosting established concepts from many theorists from across these domains, the site also functions as a medium to introduce a series of my own novel conceptual engineerings that structure my internal world-model.
In time, my plan is to add up to 500 hundred entries. Each entry features a macroconcept - represented by an animation, accompanied by an epigraph and attribution - followed by a glossary of related concepts I have curated (with AI-assisted text). Some of the definitions I have written myself, for others I have taken excerpts from existing literature that already neatly encapsulate the idea. Beyond theory, this site also attempts to be a form of art.
