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

Grinding → Experimenting

You're grinding. Forcing productivity. Depleting yourself with willpower. There's another way. Experiment mode—where fascination drives action, work energizes instead of drains, and breakthroughs emerge from play. Not a technique to master. Permission to work how your brain actually functions. The shift changes everything.

Mad Scientist Mode

You're not broken. You're an experimenter trapped in grind mode. Mad scientist mode: Mischievous tinkering energy, playful curiosity, treating reality as laboratory. Everything becomes fascinating again. Problems → experiments. Obstacles → puzzles to tinker with. "Should I do this?" → "What happens if...?" The identity shift unlocks everything else.

Obsessed + Detached

Engaged experimenter AND detached observer simultaneously. Obsessed with the work, willing to blow it up if data contradicts. Fascinated by emergence, detached from outcomes. These aren't opposites—they're entangled. This paradox is the superpower. How mad scientists stay energized while everyone else depletes.

Everything's Testable

Not truth claims to defend. Not beliefs to commit to. Experimental hypotheses to test. "What happens if I use this frame?" Hold contradictory perspectives without dissonance—they're experiments, not truths. Tinker with everything: your frames, your identity, your approach. This is the permission. Playful. Scientific. Free.

Fascination Leads

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. This isn't theory—PM in 3 months, FlowScript in 4 days, every breakthrough came from fascination, not force. You already know grinding doesn't work. Try experimenting.

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.
