After 25 years in delivery and governance I took time to explore why I burned out: Incentives and organizational culture compromise foundational elements of our information technology; it's a self-defeating cycle inching us at a micro level towards failure and at a macro level systemic collapse because incentives trace back to the nature of fiat capital and way it is governed.

I also took time to assess my own Identity and Call to Adventure. The output are these projects - an attempt to explain the relevance of emergent crypto-currency protocols to the broader world

The First of two series, Sine Qua Non explores emergent technologies (Blockchain and AI) from a philosophical and abstract perspective and explain why they are critical to resolving a recurring issue in governance - technical and social debt. Capital should always have a price and in the 21st century should be able to move at the speed of light between authenticated parties where factors allow trust to be credibly and neutrally established.

The Second series, E Pluribus Unum explains why the failure of money, the foundational technology for civilization, is tied to the atrophy and capture of communication networks over time by those that command capital decisively as capital centralizes. (A potential salve lies with Proof of Stake Blockchain technologies - a more in-depth survey is planned in a future series - these are inherently organic to Agile/DevOps

A Third series Regnum Dei (currently being elaborated) builds a framework for understanding aspects of productivity using mythology and symbols. These are expressed as a framework for building systems that receive and process transactional data with maximal yield  (productivity) known in PoS parlance as maximum extractable value or MEV. This output is expressed in real terms (digital or elemental capital) and notional (tokenized capital)
