45 Years of Experiments

Not theory. Not borrowed frameworks. Pure experimentation with minds that run on fascination. Tested through building PM in 3 months, FlowScript in 4 days, and every project in between.

Cognitive Architecture

How your brain actually filters reality, frames meaning, and operates in modes. Grounded in neuroscience. Honest about what's proven vs. hypothesis. Built for people who think experimentally.

Your Mind's Operating System

Not a productivity tool. Not about doing more. This is permission to work how your brain actually functions—shifting from depleting grind mode to energizing experiment mode.

Mad science isn't a productivity system.
It's the antidote to one.
You're not broken. You don't need optimized.
This is about being ALIVE again—fascinated, experimenting, engaged.

The Core Principles

Meta-Perception

The foundation. Sustained awareness of your cognitive processes while they're happening. Not thinking about thinking afterward—observing thoughts as they arise, in real-time. Your brain isn't you. It's equipment you're learning to operate.

The Frame-Selection Point

Between automatic reaction and conscious action lives a transition point where choice happens. Through practice, you develop awareness at this space—where you can consciously intervene and select frames as experiments.

Frames as Experiments

Not truth claims to defend. Not beliefs to commit to. Experimental variables to test. What happens if I use this frame? You can hold contradictory perspectives without dissonance—they're experiments, not truths.

The Dual State

Engaged experimenter AND detached observer simultaneously. Obsessed with the work, willing to destroy it if data says so. Fascinated by emergence, detached from outcomes. These aren't opposites—they're entangled.

Fascination as Guide

Not productivity. Not optimization. Not grinding toward goals. Follow what's fascinating and fun emerges from engagement. Being ALIVE is the point. Results are side effects.

45 years of experiments with minds that run on fascination, now distilled into a cognitive architecture. RAYGUN OS emerged from building Protocol Memory, FlowScript, and navigating life with MCAS—evidence-based, no metaphysics.
