“Context engineering” is emerging as the evolutionary step over prompt engineering. It's the deliberate design of everything an AI system can access before it produces an answer. The goal is to make it work on the right problem, with the right facts, under the right constraints. That is, by mitigating "context drift" as the AI … Continue reading Context Engineering and My Two Books

Stories are the Transactional Unit of Human-Level Intelligence
The transactional unit of meaningful human to human communication is a story. It's the incredibly versatile, somewhat scalable unit by which we teach each other meaningful experiences. Our brains recorded stories well before any hints of our ability to draw and write. We sit around a table or campfire sharing stories, not mere facts. We … Continue reading Stories are the Transactional Unit of Human-Level Intelligence
Reptile Intelligence: An AI Summer for CEP
Complex Event Processing AI doesn’t emerge from a hodgepodge of single-function models—a decision tree that predicts churn, or a neural net that classifies an image, which only see one quality of the world. The AGI-level intelligence that's being frantically chased requires massive, organized integration of learned rules. That is, a large, heterogenous number of composed … Continue reading Reptile Intelligence: An AI Summer for CEP
