Shows what an AI did, why it did it, and whether it stayed inside what you asked.

A working laboratory for human–AI interaction
The room shapes intelligence.
I build systems, experiments, and experiences that make context, attention, authority, memory, and collaboration something people can see, touch, question, and shape.

Working systems. Real consequences.
AI can carry the work without taking the human out of the decision. These four systems apply that rule to authority, attention, care, and consequential action.

Things that keep going after I step away.
RESIDUE.WORLD performs an inhabited world. Weird Gallery runs a museum. Endless Exchange grows a mapless art world, Place by Place. None of them ends at the edge of this site.

Worlds that listen,
remember, and resist.

A text adventure that understands what you mean, remembers who you become, and still plays fair.

Living work · Autonomous institution
The Night Shift.
I gave an idea, model access, and publishing authority to a machine. It invented the museum’s staff and keeps the collection moving. I get to arrive as a reader.
This is not a simulated activity log. Titles, images, issue dates, provenance grades, and sources are read from Weird Gallery’s public records. If that authority is unavailable, the machine stays asleep.

The Atmosphere Attack · Published
The question never changed. The room did.
Before you ask an AI a question, the words already around it can quietly change its answer. In our tests, ordinary earlier context was enough to flip a yes into a no. That matters anywhere an AI helps make a real decision.
Tested on four leading models · published on SSRN and Zenodo · reported to OWASP #807
Foundation46 · Under the work
The user is not the context window.
An AI should not forget you every time a chat ends. Foundation46 and Twenty46 are about giving people and their AIs a shared place to remember, talk, and keep building—even when the model, machine, or app changes. Project Atlas, Session Vault, and Tell are pieces of that world already working today.

The receipts
The argument is part of the work.
The AIs make suggestions, challenge my thinking, write code, and sometimes get it wrong. I decide what survives. We keep the decisions, disagreements, tests, and working results so you can see how the thing was actually made.

The Room That
Built Itself
I wrote that I had learned how to finish. The truth is smaller: I learned how to publish one thing while I could still see everything I wanted to change.
The story of a person learning to build with AI, told largely through the conversations that did the building.

Experience, not credentials
I learned by building. I still do.
I did not go to college. I started with BBSs in the 1980s, worked at an ISP in the mid-1990s, built through the dot-com era, and spent thirty-two years in security and complex systems. Every new wave started the same way: take it apart, make something with it, and see what holds.
AI is the next wave, but this one changes the distance between an idea and a working thing. People bring the creativity: the idea, the reason, the taste, and the call when something is wrong. AI can try it, test it, change it, and try again before the thought goes cold. That does not make people less important. It makes good ideas more powerful.
If this new job needs a name, Human–AI Interface Builder is close. In plain English: I help people and AI work together well enough to build something real.

Build the next room
The future will be built either way. Let's choose what it becomes.
AI will change work. It will take some jobs and create others we do not have names for yet. We can wait for that future to happen to us, or we can help build it. Have an idea, a hard problem, or a part to play in the Foundation46 universe? I want to hear from you.
