yesterday i shared a peek at a new model: a map of self → world. a path from a kinetic surface to a timeless core.
but why build it?
because the surface is where modern life traps us. that high-speed momentum is emotionally entangling, forcing a speed that isn't my own.
this is why i’ve seemed distant. the surface doesn’t just feel far away. it is.
the map is a clock. time and distance run differently at each layer:
outer ring = reactive speed.
inner rings = intentional depth.
core = timeless values, aspiration future. (ie. the Garden)
an hour on the surface travels a different distance than an hour at the center.
energy is required to travel distances. for me its a finite resource.. and the commute to the outer rings is long, and the return journey costs the same. so my focus is fixed on the garden.
my quiet is not anti-social. it's pro-synthesis.
the goal is to traverse these layers intentionally, because the longest journey is from the surface back to your center. 🙏🏼

[since we all move in circles, an hour on the surface (e.g. messages,media) travels a different distance than an hour at the center. (the Garden = limbo in Inception)]
this is why i’ve seemed distant. the surface doesn’t just feel far away; it is.
the commute there is long, and the return journey costs the same finite energy. so i’ve been fixed on the center, tending to the garden..
my quiet is not anti-social. it's pro-synthesis.
the purpose of this map is to traverse these layers intentionally, because the longest journey is from the surface back to yourself.
i experience time and energy as a single fabric. the speed of the outer rings creates an emotional entanglement that isn't my own pace.
my goal is fixed on the center: the garden. so my quiet is not anti-social. it's pro-synthesis.
the longest journey is from the surface back to yourself.
yesterday i shared a peek into a new architectural model: an intuitive map of self → world.
it’s designed as a path from the kinetic surface to a potent, timeless core. but why build it?
because our modern world traps us on that surface. we live in the "kinetic present"—a browser with too many tabs open, where our brain pays the rent.
this map is the architecture of consciousness. and it’s also a clock. it reveals why time runs differently on each ring:
outer rings = high-speed, reactive, mainstream.
inner rings = slow, intentional, discerning, but hidden.
axiomatic core (“the garden”)= timeless values, unchanging (as within so without)
an hour entangled in messages is not the same distance* (key word here) as an hour in or closer to the garden (i.e. the equivalent to limbo in Inception)
this is why i’ve been quiet. why i find digital communication so difficult.
we (you/me/singular) experience time and energy as a single fabric. the high momentum of the outer rings pulls at the threads, creating an emotional entanglement that forces a speed that isn't my own.
my goal isn't for or against people; it's fixed on the center: to tend to the garden (i.e. a future that not yet exist but held in belief)
so i’ve been living in the inner rings, intentionally. it's a slower process. (again, not the fastest person here..)
it’s not anti-social. it’s pro-synthesis.
the longest, most important journey is the one from the surface back to your own center.

because i think our modern world traps us on that surface. we live in the "kinetic present"—a browser with too many tabs open, where our brain pays the rent.

it reveals why time feels so weird: time runs differently on each ring. outer rings = high-speed, reactive. inner core = slow, changeless.
an hour spent in your inbox (outer ring) is not the same distance (key word) as an hour spent in deep thought (inner core). in this way, time is both linear and topographical.
and its the reason i’ve been in ring 1-2 for a while now.
the goal is to traverse these layers intentionally. the longest, most important journey is the one from the surface back to your own center.
