epistemic perspectives

Informing engineering from the cognitive sciences

Projects

This page contains those projects of mine that are sufficiently developed to go forth into the world.

I want these ideas to see the light of day and to flirt with others’ minds. These interactions will either obviate their weaknesses or make them stronger–both of which represent progress.

Feel free to cite these projects and papers, to comment on them, and to offer your thoughts and criticism.
