I study reasoning, reliability, and intelligence in AI systems.

My work spans token-space search in language models, validation layers for agents, and formal foundations for cognitive intelligence.

Research programs

Token-space search and decoding

I study language models through token-space structure, decoding dynamics, and controllability. The focus is reasoning diagnostics, decoding behavior, topology-aware analysis, and token-level interpretability.

Agent reliability and governance

I study validation layers, safety constraints, auditability, and governance mechanisms for agentic systems. This includes reliable execution, verification layers, provenance, policy enforcement, and agent safety infrastructure. NjiraAI appears here as public-facing governance infrastructure.

Foundations of intelligence

I study formal foundations for intelligence, cognition, and artificial minds. This line includes interface-plane intelligence measurement and recurrent state-transition models of cognition.

Selected public research

RUINES / interface-plane intelligence measurement

Define intelligence on an agent-environment interface plane using relevance partitions and regulation of predictive uncertainty.

Abstract

WoI / Wheel of Intelligence

Model cognition as a recurrent state-transition loop over a shared state contract with seven core operators and governance patterns.

Abstract

RUINES abstract

Intelligence is defined on an interface plane between agent and environment. Measurement is expressed through relevance partitions and regulation of predictive uncertainty.

WoI abstract

Cognition is modeled as a recurrent state-transition loop over a shared state contract, with seven core operators and governance patterns.

Research directions

topology-aware decoding
