an industrial research lab

An industrial research lab for experimental interfaces, protocols, environments, and artifacts.

We design, implement, and evaluate systems that make complex work more inspectable, augmentable, replayable, and evolvable.

signal field

systems under inspection

The graph is a navigable atmosphere for nearby problems, projects, substrates, and methods. It is meant to be explored, not read as an org chart.

investigations

current lines of work

Layers

User-controlled meta-apps over the web.

Layers are independent apps that run on top of existing websites, with their own domains, permissions, identity, data, UI, communities, and economic models.

A layer can transform, annotate, filter, augment, audit, explain, automate, or socially recontextualize the page underneath.

instagrate-me

Machine-readable domain observability.

A governed surface for seeing what machines try to discover about an organization, then publishing and monitoring the metadata they need.

instagrate-me.sudoscience.dev ->
/llms.txt, .well-known, MCP, OpenAPI, brand truth, policy, delegation, and drift.

EZAF

User-owned execution across web surfaces.

Websites can request work, but users own review, routing, execution, and release.

ezaf.sudoscience.dev ->
EZAF explores local protocol-handlers, request manifests, continuations, and explicit control boundaries.

DESH

A hypermedia-native developer environment.

DESH treats commands, docs, state, provenance, replay, examples, workflows, artifacts, and system transitions as graph-backed, event-sourced objects.

desh.sudoscience.dev ->
A structural interface over systems, not another hidden text stream.

Structured attachments

Portable artifacts with affordances.

Attachments that carry data, schema, behavior, provenance, and executable handles across email, decentralized social protocols, documents, WASM, MCP, GraphQL, and other introspectable systems.

Documents that can be inspected, replayed, and acted on without losing their shape.

Webpoke

A poke with a hint, then a ranged pull.

Webhooks should not deliver truth in flight. A signed content-free poke plus a cursor-owned ranged pull turns every delivery failure into latency instead of corruption.

webpoke.sudoscience.dev ->
aka Restoring Truth and Sanity to Webhooks: GET /changes?since=cursor, heartbeat floors, offset-based multi-consumer fan-out, and the consumer runtime providers never shipped.

Unfiled

Code is a graph, not a filesystem.

The disruption as forcing function: declarative, intentional speech pushes API boundaries to where they always belonged. Functions, tests, scenarios, CQRS/ES, components, event models, and C4 constructs become top-level objects.

unfiled.sudoscience.dev ->
Folder trees demoted to projections; diffs made semantic, in the spirit of opral/lix.

method

design -> implement -> evaluate

We study systems by building them.

design

Design shapes the interaction.

implement

Implementation exposes the constraints.

evaluate

Evaluation turns use into evidence.

01websites monopolize interpretation

02domains leak machine-readable truth across many places

03shells are text streams over hidden state

04documents are inert even when they contain structure

05workflows disappear into logs, chats, and tabs

06organizations cannot replay how systems changed

07protocols are hard to evaluate in practice

collaboration

bring a system worth making inspectable.

Collaborating with builders, labs, standards groups, institutions, and communities working near interfaces, protocols, environments, provenance, evaluation, and machine-readable surfaces.
