Fragmentation

Explored how historical knowledge emerges from multiple, competing narratives rather than singular accounts. Used Foucault's framework to analyze the Silk Roads as a case study in fragmented knowledge systems and decentralized information networks.

Knowledge Architecture

Dove deeper into the history of knowledge systems, how they evolved & what the future holds in the age of thinking machines.

Writing Clarity Mechanics

Explored how sentence-level clarity serves as foundational infrastructure for knowledge work. Analyzed the paradox that simple sentences are harder to write than complex ones—they expose thinking rather than obscure it. Used empirical writing rules (kill empty words, use concrete details, front-load meaning) as evidence that constraints function as cognitive tools for transferring ideas between minds.
