Getting Modern Offices Back On the Spectrum

APVISSpectrum CorrectionWorkplace Architecture

Most offices don't need to be reimagined. They need to be corrected. The core failure in modern offices is spectrum collapse—but fixing it is mechanical, not mystical.

You Don't Have a Capacity Problem. You Have a Geometry Problem.

LPVISGeometric IntelligenceLogistics Systems

Most logistics breakdowns don't announce themselves as failures. They show up as routes that slowly lose reliability, yards that meet targets but feel brittle, and terminals that work—until they suddenly don't. From the system's perspective, they're interpretation failures.

Tighter Windows, Better Outcomes: What the Data Is Really Showing at the Terminal Level

LPVISSystem EvolutionLogistics Systems

For operators on the ground, it can feel like things are getting harder: export windows compressing, fewer clean empties available, street-turn matches disappearing faster than they used to. From the outside, that looks like degradation. From inside the system—and inside the data—it's the opposite. What we're seeing now is not a loss of efficiency. It's the system shedding slack.

Preventing 'Mass SOS Day': A Tessellated Network Architecture for Resilient Cellular Systems

NPVISTessellated ResilienceNetwork Architecture

Recent nationwide cellular outages—characterized by widespread devices falling into 'SOS only' mode—demonstrate a structural failure mode in modern telecom architecture. This article introduces a tessellated network architecture that replaces single-core dependency with local closure, quorum identity, and bounded fallback operation. Networks degrade gracefully rather than snapping to zero.

Architecture, Not Artillery — A Geometric Approach to Cellular Sovereignty

MPVISSystems HardeningCellular Energy Geometry

Every cell operates inside a bounded energy geometry. Pathological states thrive when throughput is low, governance is loose, and constraint is cheap to evade. The goal is not aggression—it's raising the cost of disorder.

PCRA in Practice: Why Our Security Demo Starts Small—and Why That's the Point

PCRAConstraint-First SecuritySecurity Architecture

Most modern security systems start from the same assumption: collect everything, then try to make sense of it. Our security demo is intentionally different. It is a working example of PCRA—Physics- and Constraint-Rooted Analysis—applied in the smallest scope that still produces defensible, reproducible signal.

The Downstream Logistics Effects Report

LPVISDownstream PropagationLogistics Systems

What hasn't surfaced yet—but will. This report is written from a downstream operator's vantage point. Not what headlines are covering, but what quietly compounds once today's logistics distortions propagate through contracts, insurance, capital, labor, and ultimately pricing behavior. The system is not breaking. It is re-pricing itself late, and unevenly.

CAAR in Practice: Results from a 3D Turbulent Flow Simulation

EPVISArchitectural ValidationComputational Fluid Dynamics

This note documents the results of a full 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation evaluating the Convex Automotive Aero Recursion (CAAR) architecture under turbulent external flow. The goal was not to optimize drag or tune control laws, but to observe how geometry alone governs stress propagation, turbulence localization, and failure envelope shape under identical boundary conditions.

Seeing Supplier Problems Before They Become Procurement Emergencies

EPVISEarly Signal DetectionSupply Chain Intelligence

Most supplier failures don't arrive as surprises. They feel sudden only because the signals that preceded them weren't visible, weren't connected, or weren't interpretable in time. Procurement doesn't break when a supplier fails—it breaks when reaction replaces choice.

APVIS: The Independent Agent — A New Market Forming in Plain Sight

APVISMarket FormationSpatial Design

A new market is forming around the Independent Agent—people who work, travel, and operate alone. Most industries still design for groups. The opportunity isn't luxury—it's clarity, boundaries, and calm geometry.

The Mirror, The Door & The Room

MacroDimensional GrowthHuman Development

Most people think growth is linear—step by step, milestone by milestone. But there are not 'levels' to climb. There are dimensions we move between: the Mirror, the Door, the Room. A framework for dimensional growth, presence, and how people meet each other in clarity.

GOOD NEWS — AI CAN'T REPLACE YOU. BAD NEWS — YOU HAVE TO REPLACE YOURSELF FIRST.

MacroInterpretive SovereigntyHuman Evolution

The 'AI wrote this' reflex isn't literary critique—it's avoidance of interpretation. When humans stop interpreting, they stop evolving. AI can't replace you, but refusing the mirror can.
