The Archive

---

I tend to follow the general rule that once I release a work into the world, that version becomes the final version. No edits, no retroactive tweaks, just a permanent snapshot of where I was, and what I did, at the moment of release. I have followed this rule for years. But then... The Theory of Existence canon came to me, and… let’s just say, it sweet-talked me into making exceptions. 

With every new insight, finding, and discovery, I found myself compelled to revise—not to erase, but to progress—to refine evidence, add new findings, sharpen interpretations, improve writing quality, and make the formatting so beautiful you forget you're reading a scientific papers halfway through the second page. To stay true to myself, though, I made a compromise: Whenever I revise a work, the original version will live here. 

The Archive exists for transparency, accountability, and to publicly document everything I get wrong. Dear reader, I do get many things wrong, like sometimes my arguments do not align well with the data, or sometimes the math does not work out, or sometimes I miss critical nuance. However, instead of hiding those versions, I’m preserving them—typos, mistakes, wild guesses, and all—so you can see the evolution for yourself. 

So you can see that mistakes and errors are required for discovery and success in intellectual pursuits. So you can see that even wrong ideas help, they get the job done! So… go ahead. Look through the old drafts. Then, go enjoy the shiny, rewritten, and reharmonized versions across the rest of the site 🎉
