Why does AI still reason in fragments—logic here, probability there, learning elsewhere?
I’m exploring this gap with Unified Cognitive Logic: one framework for reasoning, learning, and uncertainty.

Newly Discovered Organism Could Represent a Whole New Branch in The Tree of Life
It's not every day that biologists announce an entirely new branch of life, and this one has been hiding under their noses for years.

AI is quietly rewiring diplomacy—sharper insights, faster crises, and wiser global decisions.
A bold claim, IMHO, but still worth pondering.

Protégé = programming for meaning

Not just an editor - a language where:

Classes = types

Reasoners = compilers

Modeling ontologies is coding knowledge.

Word embeddings map words by usage patterns, yet sociologists aim for deeper conceptual meaning-highlighting a tricky gap between language’s surface and culture’s core. Food for thought (not endorsement 😉).
