A systems engineering firm that operationalizes emerging technologies for high reliability organizations.
Memes that make us lol → but also surface deeper truths.
In governance, resilience depends on acting before crises peak. Climate, housing & health all show the cost of delay. The hard choice is early action, but it’s the only path to durable systems.

What our team reads off the clock → survival games with LLM agents. Thanks Octopus 🐙 for surfacing.
Scarcity makes agents selfish & unsafe. Add a simple guilt/satisfaction signal & cooperation jumps 10× while harmful actions drop by half. That’s a governance lesson too.

We often use institutional analysis to understand the “functional architecture” of client projects.
In this piece, BSci Fellow Jeff Emmett turns the lens inward, applying organizational cybernetics, systems thinking heuristics, and viable systems models to BlockScience itself.

🎂It’s our birthday!
BSci was founded on a simple principle: the world’s toughest challenges deserve thoughtful, interdisciplinary design.
We’re celebrating the researchers, engineers & communities who make that possible & inspire us every day.
Here’s to another year of curiosity & collaboration.💡

Engineering large-scale infrastructure for social & economic systems isn’t about achieving perfection; it’s about creating systems that can adapt.
In this video series, Zargham explores how feedback, coordination & governance intertwine in complex adaptive systems.

Systems engineering isn’t just tools; it’s how people, processes, & tech work together reliably. Here’s how we frame AI agents as accountable, engineered systems acting on behalf of principals (not free agents).
