The body of work
Each publication belongs to the same research practice.
Begin with the protocol, see how it supports an applied biological research program, or explore the forthcoming study of cognition.
Protocol and methods
Foresight v1.5
The published field manual for a protocol that connects evidence, judgment, planning, and execution.
Twenty chapters · three appendices
Make the basis of important work visible.
Foresight begins with an objective and builds a structured record of observations, claims, evidence, inferences, assumptions, unknowns, risks, decisions, and next actions. The protocol keeps those elements distinct while showing how they affect one another.
The purpose is to make complex work inspectable while it is happening and reviewable after decisions are made. The field manual includes verification gates, record templates, field cards, and a daily operating checklist.
Published research series

Publication in progress
The complete first cycle is being prepared for publication.
The series studies cognition as an integrated system. It moves from prediction and motivation through learning, emotion, self-modeling, simulation, concepts, belief, social cognition, extended cognition, causation, and scientific reasoning.
