Every enterprise platform is a thermodynamic system. Every new rule, integration, and "quick fix" adds to the load. Eventually, the complexity exceeds the system's ability to maintain coherence, and you get decay (slow at first, then all at once).

I spent over a decade inside these systems as a lead consultant, specializing in the maintenance phase that nobody wants to talk about. Not transformation. Not roadmaps. The part where the thing you built starts rotting and someone has to figure out why.

Stabilization — Finding where complexity is leaking and plugging the hole. Root cause before I go looking for band-aids.

Remediation — Untangling circular logic, broken integrations, and configurations that have drifted past the point of self-documentation.

Translation — I (try to) help bridge that gap between “broken” and “budget.” Most don’t touch it. I don’t care.

Retained Counsel — The red phone on your desk. When the dashboard goes red, you call me.

Independent research investigating structural transitions — what happens when a system's ability to propagate coherent signals degrades past a critical threshold.

Current work spans heliospheric boundary conditions (cosmic ray modulation, solar wind degradation, Forbush decrease failure), coronal plasma diagnostics (non-Maxwellian electron distributions), environment-dependent supernova distances, gravitational decoherence, and the thermodynamic foundations of observation itself.

The unifying concept is the Knudsen number — regardless of the naming convention, it is a dimensionless ratio that determines whether signals survive transit through a system or get thermalized into noise. It applies to plasma, forests, spacetime, and institutions. It's the same threshold with the same dynamics.

As long as you empathize with the environment over the observer.

Yes, this is a direct research pathway that attacks the root of the observation problem. The tracing out of the environment creates the “observer” with built-in inaccessible degrees of freedom.

A simple concept. But a radioactive one from an institutional perspective.

Systems thinking is a way of reading the world. I write about organizations, technology, culture, and the places where structure meets motion and one of them wins.

The blog covers enterprise dynamics, AI governance, institutional inertia, and the uncomfortable patterns that show up when you stop optimizing and start observing. Some of it is practical. Some of it is philosophical, but all of it comes from the same diagnostic instinct that drives the consulting and The Research.
