Welcome to Recursive Realities, a dispatch from the shifting layers of time, systems, security, and self.

This is where I think in public — about code, cognition, automation, life, science, memory, and the deeper structures shaping tech, society, and the self. Expect writing that weaves together:

  • Cybersecurity and control — real-world stories, threat modeling, power analysis

  • Time modeling — my work on UTMS, and what happens when we stop using clocks

  • Automation and agency — scripting machines and unscripting ourselves

  • Quantum strangeness and logic puzzles of identity

  • Post-Soviet ghosts, recursive memory, and the politics of systems

I don’t write for clicks. I write because there’s something urgent and unspoken under the surface — something worth naming, mapping, or resisting.


🧭 Who’s this for?

If you’re the kind of person who:

  • Installs Arch and breaks it for fun

  • Thinks time is broken (and maybe the calendar too)

  • Writes scripts to reclaim autonomy

  • Sees cybersecurity as both a practice and a metaphor

  • Wonders how much of yourself is compiled code you didn’t write

…then you’ll feel at home here.


📬 Why subscribe?

  • You get full access to essays, notes, thought experiments, and time hacks.

  • All posts go straight to your inbox (or the Substack app, if you prefer).

  • Comments are open — for real conversations, not fake engagement metrics.

This is an ad-free, algorithm-free, boss-free zone. No surveillance capitalism. No A/B-tested headlines. Just layered thinking for layered minds.


I write like I debug: recursively, impatiently, and usually barefoot.
