Domain-native research on threshold dynamics, the geometry of meaning, beliefs, and systems change.
Domain-native questions.
Evidence over elegance.
Future fellowships with domain experts.
Research Program
Radiant studies transitions that look sudden from the outside but were prepared by long, difficult-to-see changes in structure: pressure accumulating, resistance holding, residue building, and thresholds finally giving way.
The standard is empirical. The papers are worth developing only where the claims can be exposed to evidence, failure, and better explanations.
Working Papers
A testable account of English vowel movement as structural change shaped by lexical mass, print standardization, schooling, pulpit reading, and prestige networks.
Lineage: J. R. Firth, historical phonology, distributional semantics, print history.
A falsifiable threshold model for mitochondrial endosymbiosis, treating stable integration as a crossing preceded by failed encounters, genomic residue, and barrier reduction.
Lineage: Lynn Margulis, Martin and Muller, Gould and Eldredge, Asgard archaea research.
A financial NLP research program measuring divergence among filings, earnings calls, product claims, strategy language, and market attribution before ordinary indicators fully register distress.
Lineage: Hyman Minsky, financial disclosure research, organizational theory, optimal transport.
A computational Sinology and textual-transmission hypothesis treating The Art of War as a strategic core refined by a professional advisory community over multiple generations.
Lineage: Classical Chinese textual studies, Warring States history, authorship studies, computational stylometry.
Collaboration
Radiant working papers are hypotheses, research programs, and draft arguments. They are not presented as peer-reviewed findings unless and until they have gone through that process.
Selected papers may be developed with academic collaborators into empirical studies and peer-reviewed manuscripts. Authorship should reflect substantive contribution, not patronage.
