Welcome to

UNCERTAIN UNIVERSE

A place for seekers not finders, for edge-explorers
and voyagers without abode - homesick for places
that never existed

CHARTING
UNCERTAINTY

What you are reading is a work-in-progress and an ongoing experiment. Part e-book, part digital garden, part collaborative project, it explores a pervasive feature of our existence: the nature of Uncertainty.

Fracture

Our current understanding is fractured and pre-paradigmatic. Different disciplines define uncertainty in mutually incompatible ways. This is my attempt to re-draw the shape of uncertainty.

BETWEEN THOUGHT
AND THEATER

It is the ongoing diary of my first-principles exploration into the unknown. Although I am not a scholar, it is quite scholarly in places. Although I am not an artist, it is quite artistic in others.

It is both playful and serious,

abstract and concrete.

Its structure is fractal, but you can read it like a linear book,
or freely skip around the knowledge graph.
