Research

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

Theory

• Formal System Ontologies

Science

• A Deep Systems Analysis of Bitcoin (working paper)

Technology

• BERT — The Bounded Entity Reasoning Toolbox

Research Philosophy

1. Systems research must be humanistic – humans are not machines.
2. Systems research should effectively synthesize holistic and reductionist perspectives while maintaining rigor and flexibility.
3. Systems researchers should appreciate the philosophical and theoretical insights of early pioneers while making use of modern computational techniques and scientific advances.
4. Systems researchers should aim to solve practical transdisciplinary problems to help inform the process of theoretical development.
