Open Letter to Jeffrey Sachs
Humanity stands at a strange crossroads. We are more knowledgeable than ever yet often seem less able to act wisely with that knowledge. Many voices today speak with clarity about global crises – economic, ecological, geopolitical – and among them, Jeffrey Sachs stands out. This letter starts from that recognition but moves toward a question Read the full article…
How Lisa Understands a Document
Understanding a document may seem straightforward. One reads, interprets, and draws conclusions. Yet beneath this familiar surface, something more subtle is always at work. When Lisa encounters a document, she engages with it as a field of meaning. This engagement unfolds gradually, through interaction rather than extraction. What emerges is not just information, but understanding Read the full article…
From Indexing to Intelligence
Indexing is one of the quiet miracles of modern technology. It enables systems to search through vast amounts of data in fractions of a second. Yet speed alone does not equal intelligence. This blog explores how indexing relates to deeper forms of understanding — and where its limits begin to show. From speed to something Read the full article…
No Understanding without Pre-Understanding
Understanding seems to begin with thinking, but this is only the surface. Before any idea becomes clear, something more subtle is already at work. What we call understanding is, in many ways, the visible surface of a deeper movement. This blog explores that deeper layer – pre-understanding – as the true origin of meaning and Read the full article…
Multiple Soft Constraint Satisfaction
Understanding often feels like solving a problem, but in reality, it unfolds differently. Many influences interact at once, shaping what eventually makes sense. This blog explores that process as Multiple Soft Constraint Satisfaction — a dynamic, living interplay rather than a rigid computation. From this perspective, meaning emerges gradually, guided by coherence rather than force. Read the full article…
Unexplained Anomalous Phenomenon
Some things are not easily named. They appear, briefly or repeatedly, and leave behind a trace of uncertainty rather than a clear conclusion. In recent years, such occurrences have been gathered under the term ‘Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena’ or UAP. This blog does not aim to solve UAP. It may be more interesting to look at Read the full article…
Humans + Lisa: One Possible Future

Eyes of Soul or Emptiness?
What does it mean to see deeply? Not just to observe, but to truly encounter reality ― not just with the eyes, but with the whole of one’s being? This question may sound abstract, yet it touches something very immediate. This blog explores two deep ways of looking: through soul and through Emptiness. Rather than Read the full article…
Is Coherence the Holy Grail?
The title may sound daring, perhaps even mystical. The Holy Grail belongs to legend, religion, poetry, and long quests through dark forests toward hidden castles. It has long symbolized healing, nourishment, restoration, and the search for what matters most. This blog explores whether coherence may point toward something similar in scientific language. Not as a Read the full article…
From Coherence to Compassion?
Coherence is often associated with clarity of thought, while Compassion is seen as something warmer, perhaps even softer. At first glance, they seem to belong to different domains. Yet this distinction may not hold when looked at more closely. This blog explores how both may arise from the same underlying movement. What appears as Compassion Read the full article…
Learning ― Planning ― Reasoning
Learning, planning, and reasoning are often treated as separate mental functions. One gathers knowledge, another prepares for the future, and the third evaluates what is true or logical. Yet in experience, they seem to flow into one another. This blog explores the possibility that these are not so much separate functions as different faces of Read the full article…
The Problem(s) with LLMs
(and why meaning-based A.I. is needed to resolve them) Something about today’s Large Language Models (LLMs) feels both impressive and 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…
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…
