Finally got the first subsystem thread posted, The Reactor!

Looking forward to thoughts and questions! The Interpreter is next, but it'll be the afternoon before I can get started on it.

Hoping to have all 3 subsystems done by EOD for y'all.

#MSC #InfiniteNuanceProject #RIOsystem #neuroskyence
A colorful visual guide showing three side-by-side columns, each representing a cognitive subsystem in the MSC RIO model: Reactor, Interpreter, and Observer. Left column (Reactor): Red background with a flame-headed character. Core Role: Triggers urgency, emotional intensity, threat, or relief. Typical Sensation: Heat, reactivity, protectiveness, impulsivity. You Might Notice: Thoughts like “This feels wrong” or “I need to act now.” What You’re Doing: Interrupting, defending, reacting in real time, escalating, retreating, or shielding. Center column (Interpreter): Orange background with a cloud-headed character holding its chin in thought. Core Role: Creates meaning, labels behavior, forms beliefs and stories. Typical Sensation: Certain, gripped, stuck in one value or logic. You Might Notice: “This is the right thing to do” or “This is what they meant.” What You’re Doing: Explaining, judging, labeling, moralizing, grappling, or articulating your stance. Right column (Observer): Yellow background with a sun-headed character sitting cross-legged. Core Role: Steps back, compares options, reflects on internal alignment. Typical Sensation: Calm, amused, introspective, strategic. You Might Notice: “Let’s pause…” or “What else are we missing here?” What You’re Doing: Pausing, noticing themes, holding complexity, checking assumptions, questioning the frame. A footer notes that the mind has a council, but normally only one system takes the lead at any moment. Recognizing who’s governing is the first step toward alignment, when the system achieves balance.

Thank you all for sharing my work around! My follower count has nearly doubled in 3 days 😵‍💫 I appreciate it!

Please check out “The Spiral of Human History” free on Zenodo. My work on #MSC will always be open-source, and I’m happy to chat about it, if anyone has questions.

The people yelling “why isn’t the media covering x-y-z” could become the media covering x-y-z in under 20 minutes. But indignation is easier than inquiry. And most people want attention for their outrage, not the truth.

They seem to have learned their lesson about the protests in the algorithm. I have seen hardly anything from the 4th. Did y’all protest? Where? Why aren’t we seeing it?

Researchers…

With complex ideas, are there steps you go through to make your work more generally digestible? Like distinct levels of compression you aim for with each compacted iteration? Would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice, thanks in advance!

I highly encourage you to read “The Spiral of Human History”

It discusses the value lenses coming online throughout human history, how, and why they were each a necessary step.

The world is ready to move on from Orange to Green now.

It is time for a new age!

When you realize the game is rigged, the rational response isn’t to double down on strategy or effort. It’s to question why you’re still playing.

Every time you keep playing, you become the reason the game still works.

What value do in-game resources hold in a game that no one is playing?

#MSC maps cognition as surface-level awareness (L0) plus 12 recursive layers of internal processing (L1–L12).

This model describes how the mind recursively resolves meaning through layered interactions between function and time.

Checking in from East Texas. So proud of my little town!

Emily and I joined in the protests yesterday. What an amazing turnout in my small conservative corner of the world. Even East Texas says we want #nokings!
Me standing at a roadside protest (No Kings Day), holding up a white sign in one hand that reads “WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU QUESTION HIM?” in bold black letters and raising my other hand in a peace sign. I’m wearing blue sunglasses, a beige cap, jeans, and a light blue shirt decorated with small yellow flowers. Behind me, protestors line the sidewalk holding various signs, and a car drives by on the road. A smiling (beautiful) young woman (Emily, my fiancé) with braided hair and glasses holds a large handmade protest sign reading “NO KINGS SINCE 1776” with colorful, bold letters and an American flag graphic. The sign features a satirical cartoon of Donald Trump with clown-like makeup and a yellow crown crossed out with the words “NO KINGS” taped over it. Other elements include phrases like “REAL PATRIOTS DEFEND DEMOCRACY” and “DO BETTER TEXAS,” along with a red arrow pointing to the cartoon and the handwritten word “EW.” Behind her, more protestors and American flags are visible. A wide shot of a large, peaceful protest crowd standing on a grassy sidewalk. People of various ages and backgrounds face the street, many holding up handmade signs. One reads “MAKE AMERICA GREAT” with “AGAIN” crossed out. Others are partially obscured. A woman in a gray shirt and black skirt stands in the foreground with her phone raised to record. A red bandana is visible in the lower left corner, and several people wear hats, sunglasses, or patriotic clothing. A tree canopy and a small bus stop shelter are visible in the background.

Any ideas for how to physically model something like this on a budget?

I need the shape to repeat like 6 more times, but my math (which I’m not confident in) says I’ll need more than a gym or a football field assuming my units are toothpicks…

What about isometric modeling tools?
A complex, recursive geometric figure made of interlocking equilateral triangles — one set pointing upward, the other downward — with their centers precisely aligned. Where they overlap, they form a central hexagon. Nested inside this shape is a smaller, rotated version of the same structure, turned 60 degrees. This recursive nesting continues seven times toward the center. Straight lines extend through the full pattern, connecting corresponding points of the triangles across the central axis. These radial lines align through each layer due to the alternating triangle rotations, creating a sense of depth and symmetry throughout the design.

Are fellow researchers going to take me seriously if i put an image of a visual aid i built in Minecraft in my research papers? 😅 How are y’all getting high quality 3D visual aids (those who can’t draw)??

A new discovery earlier today simplifies the value lenses we explored recently by a lot, while simultaneously adding significant explanatory power, pretty exciting!

Caught that rabbit i mentioned last week. Sort of, anyway. Wrote a paper about that, but i’m working on something to go with it before i can release #MSC 2.3.

The Spiral of Human History is a great entry point if you’re new to my work. Free to read or download (100+ downloads so far!). Link below 👇🏼

Yellow
The Lens of Coherence, Context, and Systemic Alignment

If you’ve ever:
–Stepped back and seen what everyone's missing
–Realized, in some ways, everyone's right AND wrong
You’ve seen through Yellow.

It sees the pattern underneath the problem.

A stylized yellow humanoid figure with a faceted, gem-like head and a calm, confident smile. Its arm is extended in a gesture of invitation or explanation. This figure represents the Yellow lens in the Modular Spiral Cognition framework, a mode of thinking that values coherence, context, and structural alignment across competing perspectives.
