The Field Trilogy · read about the series →

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.

Companion essay: Quantum Computing & the Field →  What quantum computing is, what it can plausibly do, and what it has to do with a trilogy about consciousness, substrate, and reception.

Fragile Light

Stand-alone · 2026

Fragile Light

A novel apart from the trilogy. About what survives. About what's worth carrying when the structure that asked you to carry it has finally let go.
