IOTA Life Impact Index
An instrument for tracking what changes in a person's life after IOTA. If we're going to say a new category of human evolution exists, we owe people a way to see it in their own lives, and to see it honestly.
Projects
What I'm building.
A physicist's habit: if something matters, build an instrument for it. These are the instruments I'm building now, most of them with AI as a working partner.
Current
Stage development, with Susanne Cook-Greuter
Can adults keep growing in how they make meaning? Susanne Cook-Greuter built one of the field's standard measures of ego development. With her, I'm writing up what we see in NHU's students, as part of the New Human Assessment: a composite picture of a person's development, physiology and flourishing. A preprint comes first, then a journal.
The IOTA white paper
Inner Organic Technology: A Dormant Innovation of Human Evolution, written with Dr. Michael Cotton. It lays out the hypothesis, the evidence so far, and seven predictions anyone can test. Public release is coming soon.
Worldview Lens
A Chrome extension that reads a piece of writing and shows the worldview behind it: the meaning-making map the author is standing on. It interprets text. It never diagnoses people.
The family tree
A living history of my family's Polish and Ukrainian lines, traced through parish, estate and archive records. I speak what I know or what I've found, and the tree, timeline and research notes rebuild around it in minutes.
Steven OS
My personal, agentic operating system: a knowledge vault, a decisions register and a team of AI agents that capture ideas, research them and draft the next step. Everything lands in staging for my review. Nothing ships without me.
A website I can talk to
This site. The goal is to look at a page, say what I want changed, and see it rebuilt and staged for approval in minutes. Same voice-first method as the family tree, pointed at my public work.
The co-laureate kit
A personal mark drawn from the g−2 Feynman vertex, a 3D-printable commemorative award shaped like the storage ring, a certificate and a short trailer scored to the muon's wiggle.
Why
One method.
Every project here runs the same loop I learned in the lab: name what you want to know, build the instrument, measure, report honestly, refine. The subject changed from muons to people. The discipline didn't.
One thing did change. Muons don't need an ethics board. People do. I never needed an IRB to run a physics experiment, and now I'm training as a principal investigator under one. The research I do now is aimed at the evolution of the human being, and it has to be done the right way: with consent, with care, and with no one used along the way.
