The Ora book trilogy
Three volumes in development, written alongside the Ora system itself. Each volume is independently readable; together they cover what the system is, why it works, and what its release does to the world.
- Volume 1 — Natural Language Programming. The technical-but-accessible volume on how natural-language frameworks operate as the source code for cognitive automation. Domain experts as the contribution surface; the inversion of conventional open-source contribution; the framework specification as the unit of cognitive infrastructure. The companion book to the Ora launch.
- Volume 2 — Reliable AI Automation. The architectural argument. Why drift, forgetting, and hallucination are architectural problems rather than capability problems; why bigger models do not fix architectural problems; what the adversarial review pipeline, framework discipline, mode dispatch, and persistent state actually do; honest treatment of where the architecture helps a lot, where it helps somewhat, and where it cannot help.
- Volume 3 — The Transition: The Post-Release World. The civilizational essay. What the public-domain release of cognitive infrastructure produces; the four phases of the transition (acute disruption, restructuring, new equilibrium, mature transformation); the bifurcation between convenience and sovereignty markets; the long-form analysis underlying the launch essay at ora-ai.org/launch-essay.
The American Jesus trilogy
A novel trilogy in development. The premise concerns a contemporary American Jesus figure whose return is not a triumph but a sequence of recognitions about what the culture has become. Long-form fiction that the founder has been working on alongside the analytical work.
Mira and the Human Nexus
A novel project on the relationship between human cognition and the architectures we build to extend it. Different register from American Jesus; closer to speculative literary fiction than to theological-realist fiction. In development.
The cosmology paper
A standalone physics paper in preparation. The work sits outside the AI/cognitive-automation focus of the rest of the corpus and addresses a foundational question in cosmology directly. To be released as a preprint when ready.
The Hard Problem dossier
A five-part analytical dossier on the Hard Problem of consciousness, completed 2026. Treats the problem against the framework of Contact-as-Feeling, Thought-Feeling unity, and observational standing as constitutional commitments. Part of the philosophical foundation behind the AHI reframe — see the AHI argument page.
Methodology essays
Shorter analytical pieces produced as the Ora system has developed: on framework design, on the four-layer governance model for the knowledge library, on the chokepoint-elimination logic of the Foundation's mission, on the relationship between cognitive automation and contemplative practice. Will be cataloged here as they are published.
Standalone tools
Single-purpose tools that wrap one analytical framework in a focused, browser-accessible interface — paste an input, get a structured output, no install required. They ship at their own pace as each underlying framework matures into a single-purpose surface.
- Propaganda Analyzer — audits a media artifact for the structural devices of persuasion engineering.
- Framework Classifier — routes a question to the analytical framework (or combination) best suited to it.
- Values Articulator — a structured MindSpec interview that elicits the visitor's own values.
- All standalone tools — the hub, with what "standalone" means and what is coming.
