I am an artist and ruliologist. My work explores computation through rule-based material systems, weaving, sculpture, and philosophical inquiry.

I am interested in the foundational role of difference, in symmetry as an affordance, and in the catalytic role of constraint.

I make art for robots and humans to enjoy together.

For over forty years, I have explored the limits of what data, subjective knowledge, and computation can indicate about our uncertain future.

In the mid-90s, I was a research assistant to Ron Howard at Stanford University, where I was a doctoral candidate in Decision Analysis and Ethics. At Smith College, I studied Philosophy and Logic with Tom Tymoczko. While still in high school, I took computer science and math classes at Princeton University.

I taught Forecasting at Columbia Business School for five years. Now, I am actively involved with the Wolfram Institute and the Active Inference Institute.

Currently, I am working on projects related to computational rule-following.

I am also advocating for a structured approach to thinking about art for robots and other non-human intelligences.

Works on paper accompany the research, using drawing to study structure, attention, and visual inference.

After all, why should computers have all the fun?
