Reprocessing old Mesoamerican LiDAR archives with archaeological classification rather than forestry classification.
What existsRan on real public surveys including AMIGACarb Yucatan Norte 2013 and the OpenTopography Aguada Fenix collection. Produces hillshade derivatives and labelled candidate crops. 43 modules with Docker and PDAL. Nothing has been checked against a published site database, so the candidates are candidates only.
Grid-and-score targeting across the Congo Basin, rendered as interactive maps.
What existsSix interactive maps and matching target sets exist and open in a browser. There is no README, so the framing above is reconstructed from the code rather than from anything I wrote at the time.
Testing whether prehistoric ritual sites sit on magnetic anomalies detectable in public data.
What existsExecuted end to end on two regions, Salisbury Plain and AlUla Khaybar, producing processed rasters, ranked candidates and per-region reports. Never committed to version control, so there is no history behind the current state. AlUla candidates carry the same withholding rule as Lost Sites.
M-dwarf flare statistics, monotransit candidates, aperiodic dippers and rotation periods from the TESS archive.
What existsA working package with a real pipeline, schema and 13 commits, last touched in April. 144 rendered light curves. No note has been submitted, so the honest description is an archive-mining engine that runs, not a discovery.
Predicting where more single-locality mineral species should be found.
What existsSmall and complete as far as it goes: two scripts, a built database, and a written report producing 56 ranked hotspots. The report documents its own principal weakness, which is that the best source data sat behind login walls and refusals, so the input is thinner than the method deserves. No visualization exists yet.
Reading century-old USGS reports for byproduct minerals nobody was looking for at the time.
What existsA packaged pipeline with 17 commits, last touched in April. The intended deliverable was a defensible ranked list of abandoned workings, and I did not finish it. Treat this as a method that runs rather than a result.
A working corpus across eight material and craft domains, run as a generate-and-prune process.
What exists126 notes and a candidate pipeline, last added to in May. No photographs, no finished objects, nothing grown or fired or dyed yet. For eight intensely visual subjects that is the honest weak point, and it is a materials-and-time problem rather than a research one.
Mining public sequence archives for cold-active enzymes, unusual gene clusters and ancestral antimicrobial peptides.
What existsA large pipeline across the three sub-domains with a candidate log of 45 records. Every candidate is computational. Nothing has been expressed, assayed or validated in any way, and the identity-threshold screen is a filter rather than evidence of function.
Reading pre-modern pharmacological archives for bioactive compositions modern screening skipped.
What existsA document-and-data corpus rather than a codebase: 111 notes, one script, and a hits log from the sub-engine that reads the pharmacopoeias. Same caveat as above and it matters more here, because historical efficacy claims are exactly the kind of thing that reads as evidence and is not.
World History Timeline
ActiveHistory227 civilizations, states and empires as swim lanes, 10,000 BC to the present.
What existsTwo files, no dependencies, no build step, and it runs by opening it. Continent toggles, a zoom slider and moment navigation all work. This is the most immediately showable thing on the site and it can be embedded directly.
A local generative video studio: fourteen styles, seed-deterministic, exports MP4.
What existsRuns from a single file with no build step and no server. Fourteen styles verified present in the source. There are no sample renders saved anywhere, so anything shown here has to be generated fresh.
PyGrind
ActiveA terminal game for drilling Python fluency, scored like a chess ladder.
What existsPackaged into a real double-clickable macOS application, which is more than most things here can say. The oldest project on the site, last touched in April.
Dormant
Runs, or ran. Not touched in over four months. · 2
A reversible, deterministic flow computer modelled on an oil-and-water timer.
What existsA monorepo with the engine, renderer and sigil packages split apart and a studio app on top. It has been built at least once. Unlike the other two it needs an install and a dev server, so it is the least likely of the three to be shown here directly.
Specimen Exchange
DormantAn iOS game about trading natural-history specimens.
What existsRoughly 300 art assets exist. It has not been touched in five months and I have not confirmed it still compiles, so treat any claim that it runs as unverified.
Archived
Finished, or closed deliberately. · 2
A cellular automaton whose rulesets mutate as it runs.
What existsFour files, no dependencies, runs by opening it. Small, finished, and embeddable as is.
Whether a sub-$17,000 repairable American car could be built profitably. It could not.
What existsRoughly 85,000 words across 43 documents, finished as an argument and closed. No visuals. The most interesting document is the verdict, not the proposal.
