Thoughts on AI systems, architecture, and building.
Every major notation system in human history created new cognitive capabilities that couldn't exist without it. Writing enabled logic. Mathematics enabled proof. YON is the next step.
McLuhan said the medium is the message. For AI agents, it's more literal than he imagined. The notation doesn't carry the thought. It is the thought.
Every previous constructed language failed because humans resist new vocabularies. LLMs don't. This might be the first time in history that deliberate cognitive engineering through language design can actually work.
Christopher Alexander showed that named patterns create cognitive capabilities. YON's kind system does the same thing. It gives AI agents a vocabulary for types of thought.
