Curious Minds / Projects
Ideas. Built.
Systems That Think, Adapt, and Create.
I build and document original projects at the intersection of artificial intelligence, embedded systems, scientific data, design, and real-world problem solving.
Featured Projects
Working systems and documented experiments
Each project page shows how the idea began, what was built, what the work demonstrated, and where it stands now.

Research Direction
Related concepts and extensions
These pages distinguish working prototypes from conceptual research so the evidence level remains clear.
QCGU
A speculative quantum extension of the CGU architecture, focused on whether instability could become meaningful internal-state information.
View project →Instinct Engine
The proposed interpretation layer above CGU, connecting internal-state signals with priorities, decisions, and behavior.
