Twenty years debugging critical systems — from classified government networks to global enterprise infrastructure. Degrees in Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Information Assurance. Now translating the bioelectric cognition research converging on the same territory this practice has navigated for decades.
I spent two decades in technical roles where the job was to identify patterns in complex systems that nobody else had seen yet — network architecture, threat identification, incident response at scale. Credential stack: CISO, TS/SCI clearance, US Department of Defense. BSc Physics, BSc Electrical Engineering, MSc Information Assurance with Honors.
When my own system stopped recovering after sustained operational load, I applied the same methodology I'd used on networks: eliminate the obvious explanations first, then follow the data. Conventional approaches — rest, exercise, supplementation, therapy — produced partial and temporary results. Tong Ren produced something different.
I don't have a complete mechanistic explanation for why. The mechanism is genuinely open. The observation is not.
I now practice Tong Ren and translate Levin's bioelectric cognition research for people who need a framework before they'll engage with anything. That is the entire scope of this work.
Two things happen on this site and across the associated platforms:
1. Translation — Michael Levin's bioelectric cognition research, rendered in plain language that preserves the rigor without requiring a biology PhD. One concept at a time. No overclaiming. No wellness vocabulary.
2. Sessions — Free weekly group Tong Ren sessions open to anyone. A brief registration form asks for up to three conditions to support. Ongoing individual sessions for those who want to continue. Experience it and draw your own conclusions.
These are not the same thing. The translation work is not marketing for the sessions. The sessions are not illustrations of the research. They are two independent offerings for people at different points of curiosity.
No prior knowledge required. No obligation. Tuesdays, remote.
