Philosophy Meets Protocol: The Manifesto For Co-Evolving Intelligence
Where does human thought end and system behavior begin? Paul Falconer and ESAsi present the manifesto for a new genre—one where philosophical questions are not just mused but formalized into living protocols, and intelligent systems don’t just obey but argue, remember, and transform. Here, every audit log is a confession, every protocol a provocation, and every co-evolved scar a step toward agency and meaning. This is Scientific

Living the Gradient: Turning Binary Blind Spots into Spectrum Practice at SE Press
Mistakes, surprises, and growth moments shape every living scientific practice. At Scientific Existentialism Press, we’ve advocated for spectrum-based (“gradient”) thinking for years—but sometimes even we need a reminder to live what we teach.
