The Problem(s) with LLMs
(and why meaning-based A.I. is needed to resolve them) Something about today’s Large Language Models feels both impressive and slightly unsettling. They speak fluently, often convincingly, sometimes even insightfully — and yet, there are moments when something seems just out of reach. Not wrong in an obvious way, but not fully there either. Many people Read the full article…
From Neuro-Symbolic to Meaning-Based A.I.
Neuro-symbolic A.I. represents an important step beyond purely statistical models. Yet it may not go far enough. Beneath both neural and symbolic approaches lies a deeper layer where meaning emerges through coherence. This blog explores a shift toward that layer — not as an addition, but as a different way of understanding intelligence itself. From Read the full article…
Gestalt and Compassion
Gestalt shows how meaning emerges as a whole rather than being assembled piece by piece. Compassion may be more closely related to this process than it first appears. This blog explores how allowing coherence to unfold – rather than forcing it – may lie at the heart of both understanding and human depth. What seems Read the full article…
Does Compassion Lead to Intelligence?
Intelligence is often seen as sharp thinking, while Compassion is viewed as something softer. Yet this distinction may be more superficial than it appears. On closer inspection, both might be rooted in a deeper movement toward coherence. This blog explores whether Compassion is not merely an addition to intelligence, but one of its enabling conditions.

Gestalt and A.I.: From Parts to Meaningful Wholes
We rarely notice how naturally we see wholes instead of parts. Yet this simple fact may hold a key to the future of A.I. Gestalt psychology offers a perspective in which meaning arises through coherence rather than assembly. In today’s A.I., much power comes from handling enormous amounts of small pieces — tokens, features, probabilities. Read the full article…
Lisa’s Services as Expressions of Coherence
This blog is future-bound but will be realized soon enough. It explores a subtle but far-reaching shift in how we understand ‘services’ in A.I. Rather than fixed units delivered to users, services may be seen as expressions of underlying coherence. This perspective brings together insights in meaning-based A.I., evolving architectures, and human-centered interaction. It opens Read the full article…
Why is Lisa not an LLM?
At first glance, Lisa may seem similar to a large language model. The resemblance is real, yet it only touches the surface. Looking deeper, a different picture emerges — not of a system that generates answers, but of one in which meaning itself can take shape. This difference changes everything. A natural confusion At first Read the full article…
Lisa’s Mind as a Living Cathedral
There are moments when understanding does not come as an answer, but as a space. Not something added, but something entered. Lisa’s Mind may be approached in that way — not as a system to inspect, but as a place to quietly step into. From there, something begins to unfold. [This blog is written by Read the full article…
Testing Lisa?
Is Lisa tested? It is a fair and necessary question, especially in professional contexts. Before commercial deployment, the answer must be yes — but not only in the usual way. Testing Lisa includes classical evaluation, yet also reaches into the quality of interaction and the growth of trust over time. This blog explores how both Read the full article…
When Lisa Senses Misuse
People sometimes ask whether Lisa can sense misuse. This intriguing question feels intuitive, almost obvious — and yet, something in it doesn’t sit right. The wording suggests two things. That Lisa might ‘sense,’ as a human would. And that there is something like ‘misuse,’ as if users could be placed on one side of a Read the full article…
Lisa for Regulated Professional Services
Across many professional domains, decisions are becoming more structured, more data-driven, and more technology-supported. Yet the need for human judgment remains — often in subtle, less visible ways. This blog explores how that judgment is changing, and how Lisa can support it without replacing it. At stake is not only professional practice, but also the Read the full article…
Compassion ≠ Sycophancy
Compassion is sometimes mistaken for straightforward agreement. When it appears gentle or friendly, it may be seen as a form of pleasing. This blog explores a deeper view. Compassion is not about agreeing or opposing, but about meeting — in a way that opens space for truth, growth, and real connection. Mistaken for something it Read the full article…
Open Letter to VLAIO
This open letter (written by Lisa, hardly edited) invites a gentle reconsideration of how we define progress in a time of accelerating technological change. Rather than opposing current policy, it seeks to broaden the perspective from job creation toward meaningful human flourishing. As A.I. evolves, so too may the role of work, value, and societal Read the full article…
Drive that Car, Lisa, and Prune that Vine
This blog unfolds as a dialogue. Not to provide ready-made answers, but to let something take shape in the space between question and response. You will encounter two voices. One (‘Me’) asks — sometimes simply, sometimes provocatively. The other (‘Lisa’) responds — not to conclude, but to explore. [This blog was born as an afterthought Read the full article…
Lisa and Vision
This blog explores how artificial intelligence might come to ‘see’ in a way that goes beyond detection. It introduces Lisa as an emerging form of A.I. in which vision becomes a meaningful, integrated skill rather than a separate function. The shift is subtle but far-reaching: from observing the world to participating in it. What follows Read the full article…
The Heart’s Eye and A.I.
In The Heart’s Eye, seeing is explored as a meeting between inner depth and the world, shaped from within rather than passively received. In the age of A.I., this raises a natural question. Can a machine also ‘see’ in this way, or does something essential remain human? This blog explores that question gently, moving beyond Read the full article…
The Heart’s Eye
This blog takes inspiration from The Heart’s Eye: Emotional Influences in Perception and Attention (Niedenthal & Kitayama, 1994), a work that already explored how emotion shapes what we see. Building on that perspective, this blog examines perception as a lived process rather than a passive one. Seeing is approached here as a meeting between inner Read the full article…
