Lenses

01The pattern

At some point I noticed that the same ideas keep surfacing across completely unrelated fields — physicists, psychologists, biologists, machine learning engineers, all rediscovering each other’s concepts and giving them new names, apparently without talking to each other.

I found that both fascinating and slightly ridiculous.

Pick a field to trace it

02The attempt

“Lenses” is my attempt to sit at that intersection.

It’s a series of essays exploring how we see, think, and misunderstand the world — one concept at a time, through as many angles as seem honest.

03The fine print

Each piece is versioned, a snapshot of my understanding when I write it, expected to change, be contradicted, or quietly embarrass me later.

The perspectives here are a small, deliberately limited sample from the many that could exist; I’ve simply chosen not to write all of them, because infinite scroll already seems well covered as a business model.
