Open-ended ecosystems are where value is created. The value comes from the system surprising itself.

My goal is to understand and create open-ended ecosystems in software. I have worked on five browsers and an operating system. I'm currently developing a scenario planning AI called Deep Future and exploring multi-agent systems.

I publish a semi-regular newsletter called Squishy Computer, where I look at software ecosystems through the lenses of evolution and ecology. It has over 8000 subscribers.
