Square Root

One design. Every phone. Same proportions.

What I invented is the unit system and the solve. Phones agree on nothing — width, height and aspect ratio all differ — so a screen built for one looks cramped on the next. The usual answer is breakpoints: redraw the design two or three times and hope the sizes in between behave. Square Root takes the other route. You design once against a single canonical phone, and at runtime the framework solves for the root font-size so that one design lands exactly on whatever viewport it finds. Nothing reflows. The whole composition scales as one piece.

The unit underneath it is a 60 pixel block — the smallest square touch research shows a finger can reliably hit. Because every size in the system is a multiple of it, nothing built with it can end up too small to tap: accessibility of touch stops being something you audit for and becomes a property of the grid itself.

LuCipher

A philosophy of system design, and the entire suite that came out of it.

What I invented here is the whole stack of it: the application framework, the bootstraps underneath it, the composition model that lets a fleet of Laravel applications run as one system, the way an install decides who it is before a line of my code executes, and the shared model and view layers every application in the fleet renders through. Not a plugin on top of a framework — the layer the framework sits inside.

I built it to solve my own problem, years before any modern AI model existed: the time lost standing up the same foundations again for every new application, and the drift that sets in when you do. That job never went away, it changed shape. The same structure that once bought back my hours now buys back the machine's — an architecture that explains itself is far cheaper for a model to hold, reason about and extend, so the thing built to save my computation now complements theirs.

Underneath all of it is one idea: Laravel treated as the All Mind — one mind that corresponds to itself, made of multiple Laravels inside the same project. Every application I have built for myself, and the infrastructure of my own companies, runs on it.

The Emerald Tablets

A way of programming, written down — then taught to AI.

What I invented is the philosophy itself: seven laws, the principles of the Kybalion applied to system design, with correspondence as the master law and fractal design as its practice. Long before they were written down they were simply how I programmed — the shape I reached for without arguing about it. Writing them down is what turned a habit into something that can be taught, checked and broken on purpose.

The philosophy then found its stack. Livewire, read the ordinary way, is server-rendered views with reactivity — a nicer controller — and that reading pushes behaviour outward into a store, a script, a seam. I never read it that way. A component is a living object on the server with a persistent identity across requests: it has memory that survives the round trip, it can be spoken to by name, it decides its own tempo, and through @entangle it exists in two runtimes at once — entangled in close to the physical sense of the word. That is not MVC. It is nearer to actors, or to Smalltalk objects sending messages: agents with a role and a character. The TALL stack turned out to be the perfect host for laws written that way.

The phase after that was instructions. The laws are now a Claude Code plugin — a way to point AI models at this style of programming and have them build in it at the highest and the lowest level of an architecture at the same time. It leaves the work sealed and reproducible the way a hermetic build system is, and simultaneously the exact polarity of that, open the whole way through. Which is the point rather than a contradiction: polarity is one axis, and taken to completion the poles reconcile.
