Research

My current research interests lie at the intersection of systems theory, systems science, and systems technologies.

Theory

• A Formal System Ontology

Science

• A Deep Systems Analysis of Bitcoin (working paper)

Technology

• BERT — The Bounded Entity Reasoning Toolbox

Research Philosophy

1. Systems research must be humanistic – emphasizing the fact that humans are not machines.
2. Systems research should strive to synthesize holistic and reductionist perspectives while maintaining rigor and flexibility.
3. Effective systems research requires rediscovering the brilliant theoretical insights of early pioneers while making use of modern tools for computational .
4. Effective systems research requires building useful technologies that solve practical interdisciplinary problems.
