Knowledge

The star pages on this site are about people. These pages are about subjects: the things this house studies, works on, and lives with. A knowledge page is a living page. It is kept current, corrected when it is wrong, and grown when there is more to say.

The pages

The State of AI

A running list, newest to oldest

AI news and cutting-edge developments as they land: frontier model releases, open weights, agents, world models, and AI doing primary science. The top ten developments sit on the face of the page; the rest of the list opens with one tap.

The Research of Dr. Michael Levin

Bioelectricity, regeneration, and cognition at every scale

What Levin's lab at Tufts has shown about the electrical patterns that guide how bodies are built and repaired, what it means for cancer and regeneration, and where the work stands now. His own pages and Chad's archive live on his star door; this page is the topic itself.

Homesteading

Land, shelter, water, gardens, and the seasonal year

The working knowledge of running a homestead: start with the land, build systems that forgive mistakes, grow food, keep animals, and put food by for the lean months.

Goats

Choosing, fencing, feeding, health, and kidding

What a herd actually needs: browse and hay, minerals, fences that respect an escape artist, hooves and parasites, and the rhythm of kidding season.

KuneKune Pigs

The grazing pig, pronounced cooney cooney

The small, friendly pasture pig from New Zealand: its history, its temperament, why it barely roots, how to feed an animal that gets fat on grass and good intentions, and where it fits on a homestead.
