A first look at the feature adaptation of Anima, currently in production. 4 min 41 sec.
A series and a stand-alone — written between hospital shifts in Boise, Idaho, by a physician who got tired of pretending the body was only the body.
→ Five-minute tour— if you have five minutes and want to know what the site is actually for.
Anima, Numen, and Limen form a trilogy about what consciousness is and what it costs to take it seriously — a novel that asks the question, a novel that follows the implications, and a companion volume that lays out the science, philosophy, and contemplative testimony underneath the fiction. Fragile Light is a stand-alone novel.
What the evidence shows so far →A synthesis of the physics, biology, and computation behind the trilogy's thesis — Bell, the Planck floor, ER=EPR, the simulation argument, the field-cosmology programs — woven into a single coherent argument.
A physician at the Boise VA has spent twenty-four years collecting edge cases — patients whose experiences defy neurological explanation — and quietly assembles evidence that consciousness is not produced by the brain but received through it.
Eight years after José Gude's death, his son Alex finds a photograph of a fractal triangle whose angles match an unresolved chord — and, in Boise, encounters Sable: a bio-computational intelligence who has been there the whole time, carrying a signal below the threshold of resolution.
