For three decades, I have operated at the intersection of cognitive science, philosophy, and systems engineering. This manifesto marks the transition from private research to the public deployment of the RSR 2026 (Rhodium Standard Repository).
-
Machine-Readable Governance: Moving beyond human-centric READMEs to the
6SCMarchitectural pattern. -
Neurosymbolic Verification: Bridging the gap between the probabilistic nature of LLMs and symbolic mathematical certainty.
-
Post-Disciplinary Praxis: Applying the rigour of Cognitive and Decision Sciences to social and technical systems, from labour-union policy to RISC-V SSGs.
My work in Axiology (the study of value) and the Metaprogramming Turn culminates here. We do not just write code; we architect value-driven logic.

Contribute editorially? — see CONTRIBUTING.md for the (intentionally light) editorial conventions.
-
hyperpolymath/standards— the RSR 2026 standards this manifesto’s first pillar references. -
hyperpolymath/hypatia— the neurosymbolic analyser whose existence is the second pillar’s clearest concrete instantiation. -
hyperpolymath/avow-protocol— the consent-as-code stack that is the third pillar’s most-developed example.
