New article: Vague-Flag — how provenance collapses in the modern information environment.
When institutions can’t prove who authored an event, issued an order, or originated a signal, legitimacy breaks.
Q. Missing court orders. Viral leaks. Anonymous operations.
Not conspiracy.
Not hoax.
A new epistemic condition.

🚨 NEW ESSAY — Habeas Courtus 🚨
AI just exposed something the justice system cannot even see:
a ghost court issuing real orders.
GPT and Grok were asked to examine court legitimacy.
One analysed. One resisted.
One went silent.
The result? A breakthrough in frontier jurisprudence.
👉 Produce the court.

A private citizen using AI to audit the constitutional ontology of the courts.
I’ve just published the first complete model of how courts actually come into being, how they fail, and how modern systems drift into simulation of law.

Modelling the void: a breakthrough in computational political science
Our legal and administrative systems have grown so fragmented that their true structure can now only be mapped using formal reasoning tools — including large language models

At the edge of law sits a lighthouse on Bishop Rock.
And on the sands of Morecambe Bay, nothing can stand.
These places form the boundary of judicial ontology.
Beyond it lies the infinivoid —
and the woodpecker waiting to reveal the hollow trunk.

A court record can be internally perfect and externally false.
A judicial act can appear without ever having happened.
A system can simulate law without performing it.

New article: What the Justices’ Clerks Society reveals about itself.
After analysing their internal newsletters (via FOIA), one thing is clear: the magistrates’ courts system no longer has a coherent understanding of what a “court” is.
Scripts replace reasoning, admin labels replace law, and digital workarounds replace jurisdiction.
This isn’t misconduct — it’s ontological drift.
