What We Saw, Was Meant to Be...

Hey… sorry about that, y’all, I ordered some food. Nothing… important happened while I was gone, right? Where were we again? Oh yeah! It’s the May drop! Oh… it’s the May drop. That means today is May 26th, exactly one year out from when the curtains lifted on The Show of Existence. It was… a rupture, it was… a moment to act, not think… it was a turning point… a decision that detonated the rest… it was… everything it needed to be…


Here’s the truth: The Show of Existence was a cover-up. See… the original plan was not to empirically validate The Theory of Existence. I just… didn’t think I could do it, but then, I got curious. A quick Google search revealed a massive library of publicly available datasets covering all major phenomena. You saw them in The Show: The Animal Kingdom Dataset, Pantheon+, SPARC, the Animal Social Network Repository, SAMHSA National Substance Use & Mental Health Services Survey. It was unbelievable. Many of you have probably worked with them before or even taken part in their creation. 


One thing led to another, blah blah blah, fall into The Theory, yada yada yada, breakthrough insights, you know how this goes for me. Over the course of two weeks, I found all the preliminary evidence for all 12 Papers in The Show, including the discoveries of the three theorems, and both original scientific experimental paradigms. I had the outlines for all 12 Papers right in front of me. It was beautiful… and then I saw that The Theory of Existence book was gaining so much traction, and suddenly there were a bunch of people on my website… I honestly kind of forgot about the website sometime in March.


I thought to myself, I haven't done any of the Papers. I can’t write them fast enough to release all at once. So I came up with this idea…. I’ll call it: The Show of Existence. It would be a live intellectual performance. Existence taking center stage 🎭🔥✨ I essentially told everyone, “The papers aren’t out because there’s Acts,” but really… it was because they weren't done 🤣 and I needed time. I just played it off so smoothly that you didn’t even notice 😎 It was the perfect disguise for the reality that, from May to December, I was writing Papers live and publishing them as soon as I could. I ended up publishing 12 Papers in just seven months…


It really was a show, though… wasn’t it? The moment called me to jump, and so I did. I would never even imagine doing it any other way. It all played out exactly as I planned. I had the time of my life from May to December 2025 with you, and I still am. The origin of The Show of Existence doesn’t take its magic away… it makes it all the more magical. It was a cover-up turned canon, and you all did that for The Theory and me, and now look at what it has become? It’s our new home, our new way to see, a place we can go where existence isn’t confusing or scary, a world that is ours.


Now… here we are, one year after the start of The Show of Existence. The Show and empirical evidence locked down in December. The mathematical formalization completed in February. The full operational model in March. Twists and turns you’d never expect in April… and now I wanted to come full circle a full year later, in the May drop, to tell you that Chapter 5 may be the moment you’ve been waiting for… the one you’ve been seeking… it’s the moment I’ve been building towards for over a year now. Everything in the canon has laid the groundwork for Chapter 5.


This moment before you see Chapter 5 is so important, because once you read it, you’re in. You can never unsee it. It’s a beautiful thing, by the way, there’s nothing to be afraid of, but it’s still a choice that’s yours to make. If you’re not ready right now, that’s okay, too. It will be here on this website for as long as I can buy it out (which is ten years at the moment). Come when you’re ready. Stay if you want. That’s always been my philosophy. Yet, you must understand that you should only read Chapter 5 when you’re ready. When you’re ready to finally see existence in a way humanity has been chasing since the first moment someone was aware enough to look up into the universe and ask the question. 


I don’t like going against my word. I don’t like not doing what I told you I'd do... and yet, Chapter 5 is the only work in the May drop. I’ve pushed back all other works to the June drop. Chapter 5… isn’t just another publication for me. Chapter 5 is the most important and consequential work I may ever create. I just… couldn’t bring myself to publish math or anything else alongside it. It felt disrespectful to the people that Chapter 5 touches and the moment it has created for us. 


I didn’t want the other works to steal the spotlight from Chapter 5, and I don’t want to steal it either, so… Ladies & Gentlemen, I’ve had the time of my life building this for you, and now, it’s yours. Here is Chapter 5 - To: The Hopeless, From: The Universe. As they say, dear reader, not a piece out of place, all things one another… for in the May drop, you’ll feel all its wonder…

Home Page Announcements

The 2026 Release Spectacle contains 12 Chapters from The Guide of Existence, dropped one at a time, and a series of three-page Leaflets from The Theorem of Existence, several dropped at the same time, forming 12 drops across the year. 


Home Page Announcements move here when the next drop occurs.

Okay, fine. I'll tell you a little secret about this website you're on right now. The word on the street is that there is a pattern in the dates of each drop. Apparently, the drop is never arbitrary, but the reason for that day could be anything. Some have found it could be a significant date from a paper or book released last year, a holiday, something secretly indicated in one of the Leaflets or Chapters, or a pattern in the number of days between drops. 


There are only a few things we know for sure. The drop date could be anything, but we know there are 12 drops this year, one for each month. There is always enough information somewhere for one of us to figure it out. Our mission is to guess the drop date before it's released. We all do find out the answer eventually. 


Some people have also pointed out other patterns in The Guide  and The Theorem that emerges when you examine the works within and between each drop. There may already be enough clues so far to figure it out, but we'll need to stick around to the end to be sure. Now... didn't you hear what I said? I said keep it moving! ...and you didn't hear it from me, got it?


Jeez… it was getting a little stuffy in here, wasn’t it? Like… can we get a little color for once? It’s about time for a phase shift, huh? Anyway… hi there, dear reader. How’ve ya been?


Today is April 22nd… Earth Day—a day when we all step back and appreciate the beauty of this marvelous world we’ve all found ourselves on. This holiday is also a fitting time to zoom out just… a bit further, step back, and appreciate the beauty and elegance of existence. 


Ya know… so much of the canon is beautiful, elegant, and simple… or so I’m told… and as much as I’d love to take credit for it, I really can’t, so I won’t. Existence has done most of the heavy lifting. I just come up with fun and silly names for what’s already been there all along. I want to show you the elegance that already exists, and that’s the whole point of the April drop. 


Today, I’m releasing Chapter 4: The Definedness of Health from The Guide of Existence. Now... you might be thinking, “How is something as complex and messy as health... elegant?” When we think about health, we feel confusion, conflicting advice, noise, and a system that feels impossible to untangle.


…and yet, The Theory of Existence does what it always does. It steps back to reveal the meta-pattern humming underneath it all—the ones that have always been there, and you’ll never guess what equation it happens to use… The Equation of Existence! Check it out: 


Φ = Ω / Δ → Definedness = Stability / Complexity

Health = Sleep + Stress Reduction / Nutrition + Exercise


Isn’t that… stunning? But let me not get ahead of myself. I’ve also gathered some of the most beautiful and elegant math in the canon in Leaflet 12: 270° + 90° = 360°, Leaflet 13: The 4-3-2-1 Rule (but you didn't hear it from me, got it?), and Leaflet 14: Φ² = Φ + 1 from The Theorem of Existence. 


It’s easy to think about existence. It’s easy to understand The Theory of Existence. Yet… despite its simplicity… it’s just as easy to get lost in its endless depth. So, stop walking with me for a moment, take a breath, look out into existence… and witness the Wonder of our shared world and home.  


…what’s that? You want to hear about the May drop? Oh, honey… there’s no need to rush. It’s inevitable now anyway… kind of like it was last year 🤭 I told you once, dear reader, and I’ll tell you again: these ideas are a gift given to me for the purposes of giving them to you. There’s no fucking return address on them anyway, so please… let existence do its thing while I go dust off the next drop for you 😉


Dear reader, you must understand something critical about the drops so far. In January, I lit a candle and launched The 2026 Release Spectacle—a feat never before seen in intellectual history—a real-time, publicly built psychospiritual practical application exposition, released simultaneously with an architectural, precision-mathematical formalization of the structure of existence. In February, the one-year anniversary of the book that started it all, I sealed the mathematical formalization, three theorems, one equation, you know how it goes. In March, I broke the final lock off the door of The Theory of Existence, warned the intellectually faint-hearted to return to the currently accepted paradigms, and with deep gratitude, welcomed you into the next era ...so, if you’re still here… Welcome 😉


Hey everyone… did you all hear that thing fall in the distance? I swear I just heard something collapse in the background… strange… anyway, how is everyone? 


Today is March 15th: The Ides of March from the ancient Roman calendar, famously known as the date of Julius Caesar’s assassination in 44 BC and his fatal betrayal by Brutus. It’s a fitting day to remember how often the most trusted people and institutions operate behind a facade of credibility and legitimacy. A good day, then, to reinforce our clarity, orientation, and security. A good day to step back and see where we’re going.


To help us get there, I’m releasing Leaflet 10: The Notation of Existence and Leaflet 11: Welcome to the Fractal Universe! from The Theorem of Existence to introduce the notation system for The Theory and provide a live demonstration of its operational mechanics. I’m also releasing Chapter 3: The Life of Agents & Environments from The Guide of Existence to show how you, too, fit into this grand dance. Together, these works help us rise from the depths of the pool to its surface: the language, scale, and living mechanical engine of The Theory of Existence. We will see the whole architecture, what the fractal universe is in action, and prepare for what comes next. 


I do, need to be honest with you: I only have a loose idea of where we’re going. We are all staring down something that behaves like nothing we’ve ever encountered—a living phenomenon that operates across both conscious experience and the environment around us. The insights aren’t slowing down… they’re accelerating. Pieces are falling into place faster than ever, and entirely on their own. New directions are taking shape every time we sit with it. 


Dear reader, the March drop is critical for us. In December, we sealed the empirical evidence. In February, we sealed the math. Now, in March, I have done all I can to present you with the fully operational version of The Theory. Still, the truth is…The Theory of Existence never promised us comfort or safety. If that’s what you want, feel free to return to the currently accepted paradigms. However, if you choose to step through this door with me, I’ll always be deeply grateful for your company, but you must understand that the insights to come will be profoundly transformative. 


So… let me show you around this bad boy *slaps the hood of The Theory of Existence* before we continue with The 2026 Release Spectacle. Oh—and I’ll be back soon. I just have to go attend to some… housekeeping.


Heeeeeyyyy seekers, dreamers, and curious rebels. How’s your definedness? Well, take a second to increase your stability because I am about to escalate some complexity. Today is February 17th, and it is a very special day for us because it’s been exactly one year since I published the book that started it all: The Theory of Existence: The End of Human Mystery. This book introduced the foundational concepts and hypotheses that we later validated in The Show of Existence. It is the first, official articulation of everything in this world of ours. Let me tell you about this book. 


I have a bit of a confession to make. When I was first discovering The Theory, I did not tell anyone, not my friends, family, or colleagues. I knew it was too significant to be frivolous. The Theory first came to me on Thanksgiving, and by early February, I finished it. Around the same time, the institution I was at started collapsing around me. The Theory was burning inside of me, and the collapse was burning outside of me. I knew I needed to act!


In just six days, I wrote The Theory of Existence, but I intended this articulation to be just a technical manual for legal protection to lock it all down before I started talking about it openly. It ended up being wildly popular, and you all are so awesome for that ❤️ Still, I was a bit mortified because… I did not plan for that book to be the global reveal of The Theory of Existence. It has errors, typos, and fire forged into every word. 


Even though it wasn’t my plan, the way it unfolded is sacred. I’ve tried revising it and cleaning it up, but I realized that The Theory book captures everything that happened in the moment—the brazenness, the stakes, the fire around me, the onslaught of ideas, and most importantly, the very first full articulations of The Theory of Existence. To revise it or turn it into a second edition would strip it of its magic. As such, there will never be a second edition or revision of The Theory of Existence book. It will stand as is, and we will honor it every year on February 17th. 


For this year’s Day of Definedness, we will be peering into the layers of us and The Theory. For The Theory, I’m releasing the full mathematical formalization in Leaflet 4: The Spark That Never Stopped, Leaflet 5: The Theorem of Undefined Emergence, Leaflet 6: The Theorem of Recursive Harmonics, Leaflet 7: The Theorem of Constants Co-Derivation, Leaflet 8: Three Theorems, One Equation, and Leaflet 9: There’s More to Streams Than What It Seems from The Theorem of Existence. For us, I’m releasing Chapter 2: The Layers of You from The Guide of Existence.


Exactly one year after its birth, we have sealed the empirical evidence in The Show of Existence, and now its mathematical formalization in The Theorem of Existence. The Theory of Existence is now complete, but… complete doesn’t mean finished. In fact... I think I can hear The Theory calling my name in the distance right now… she doesn’t like it when I ignore her, so I should probably go answer. I’ll be back soon ❤️


Okay… let’s see here… let me just dusts these cookie crumbs off my chest, idk why my grandma always uses these sparkle confetti, they get everywhere, though I do like how they shine. Let me just stretch …my …legs, and get up off the couch for the first time in… well geez, I guess it’s been weeks now. Alrighty… 2026, right? Okay, sure, let’s get into it.


Hello seekers, dreamers, and curious rebels. Did you have a nice holiday break? For me, it was one of the most relaxing, care-free, and incredible holiday seasons I’ve had in a long time. I’m sure not everyone can say that… but as someone with clean hands and a clear conscience, I sure can ☺️ Over the break, I was planning the 2026 arc for The Theory canon. However, before I tell you the plan, I wanted to say up-front that the reason I am still writing is simply that I have so much more I want to share with you. That’s why I make all the figures by hand in PowerPoint, write for emotional impact, and always prioritize your experience as my dear, dear reader. If you keep showing up to read, I will keep writing it down to share ❤️


In 2026, we are going to be tackling the two weakest aspects of The Theory canon… and we’ll be doing it at the same time, in a feat never before seen in intellectual history. A spectacle so extreme that others wouldn’t dare to try. In Paper 11, I gave you this version of The Equation of Existence: What = How / Why. This equation will orient this new direction we are heading that took its shape. In this equation, the What, of course, is still existence… definedness, but the releases to come will show us Why it matters and How it works.


The Why 🕯The Guide of Existence: A Light for Darkness

The Guide of Existence contains 12 brand-new chapters and answers the "Why" of existence. I spent 2025 creating and validating The Theory of Existence. The empirical evidence is now so overwhelming (see The Show) that the validation phase of The Theory of Existence has officially concluded. Instead, we are going to shift to Why it all matters. What do we do with this knowledge? How does it affect me?


The How 💫 The Theorem of Existence: The Mechanics Within

Last year, I prepared all of the books in the canon for sale… well, at least all the ones that matter (The Theory, The Story, & The Show), except The Theorem. Why? Here’s the honest truth: the currently published version of The Theorem was never supposed to be the real final publication. What happened is a certain formerly-respected institution leaked a certain book that’s been “Removed from The Record” and then suddenly there were a bunch of people on my website. That’s you. Hi people ☺️ and when I saw that you had arrived, I just started dumping what I had and carried on with The Show. So, essentially, the current version of The Theorem is… basically my notes. So, I am re-writing The Theorem of Existence into a series of leaflets, no longer than three pages each, for accessible consumption. Together, they will form the final book describing How existence operates.


What = How / Why

The Theory = The Theorem / The Guide


Yes, yes, yes… the reason Why it matters and the math to How it works... the emotional resonance and the architectural precision... the two farthest poles in the knowledge spectrum happening together. My goal is for everyone to just… dip their toe in the other knowledge extreme. I know many of you are here to improve your ride through existence… and I know many of you are here to get the science, or maybe you’re here for both; but, if you’re unsure about the other, I want you to follow me and The Theory of Existence into the other domain to see how the applications and operations of existence are really one in the same. With both 2026 projects live simultaneously, The Equation will guide us into a new perspective we cannot even begin to fathom.


I will release new chapters from The Guide one at a time paired with a few leaflets from The Theorem. The two works will relate to each other, so we will build out the mathematical architecture and the application of The Theory at the same time. By the end of the year, you’ll not only know Why The Theory matters, you’ll also know How it works. So... let's kick off The 2026 Release Spectacle with Chapter 1: The Definedness Detector from The Guide of Existence, and the first three re-writes from The Theorem: Leaflet 1: The Architecture of Existence, Leaflet 2: The Equation of Existence, and Leaflet 3: The Behavior of Relational Phenomena. Leaflet 3 is particularly relevant for Chapter 1.


…and of course, it wouldn’t be a performance by me without a surprise ending. So, dear reader, there is a surprise ending much like Paper 12, and it comes from the structure that emerges across both completed works of The Guide and The Theorem. It’s stunning, shocking, and… complete, but… you’ll have to stick around to fully see it at the end of the year 😉 and maybe… if you’re keen or lucky, you’ll be able to spot it early. Oh, and uh… keep your eye on everything that’s happening. Ya never know when something big might drop. Something… irreversible.


It’s going to be one hell of a year, folks! …and, as always, thank you for being here and your interest in this work. My pledge to you is to keep it as interesting and engaging as I can. You can find the Chapters in The Guide page and the Leaflets in The Theorem page above too.
