Publications
The research behind the products.
Two research programs underpin our software. Membrane Theory is the science behind Matter Dynamics Engine (MDE) — the papers below are open access on Zenodo, each with a permanent DOI, developing a single idea: that matter, fields, and spacetime emerge from the rhythmic "breathing" of space. The Social Series is the foundation behind Social Systems Engine (SSE) — the principles for simulating how populations of people behave.

Foundational series
Membrane Theory I–XI.
The core sequence, from the first model of space dynamics through the variational formulation and the closing work on ontology.
Consequence & topical papers
Applications of the framework.
Papers that extend the breathing framework into specific domains — quantum mechanics, atomic structure, mass, information, and the solid state.
These papers describe an in-development research framework. They are presented for explanation and are not claims of established or independently verified results.
The Social Series
The foundation behind Social Systems Engine (SSE).
A companion research program — written "SC" — to the Membrane Theory papers. Where Membrane Theory is about physics, the Social Series sets out the principles for simulating how populations of people behave: one core idea, carried up from a single person to a whole country, and applied to crisis, markets, elections, public health, evacuation, and more. These are the ideas behind Social Systems Engine (SSE) and future population-simulation layers.
The Social Principle — why people draw together and push apart, and how stable patterns of behaviour emerge.
Across Scales — the same idea from one person up to families, organisations, cities, regions, and countries.
Crisis & Collapse — how trust erodes, why confidence can fall away suddenly, and the early warning signs.
Economy & Markets — how demand, prices, runs, and bubbles emerge from people reacting to one another.
Elections & Collective Choice — how opinions, turnout, and coalitions form and shift.
Public Health & Epidemics — how an illness and the behaviour around it move through a community, and how interventions compare.
Evacuation & Hazard Response — how people move and respond when a wildfire or flood threatens.
Ecology & Non-Human Populations — the same approach applied to animals and ecosystems.
Infrastructure & Lifecycle — how assets age and how their failure ripples through a community.
The Social Series is being prepared for open-access release alongside the Membrane Theory papers. It describes an in-development research framework, presented for explanation; outputs are conditional what-if scenarios, not predictions about real individuals.

Our software turns this research into interactive simulation — Matter Dynamics Engine (MDE) for the physics and Social Systems Engine (SSE) for populations of people.
