What’s Next

The first six articles in this series traced one direction: backward, from a 2026 portfolio to the 2017 notebook that seeded it. This last article points the other way. What is still in the book and not yet built. What I am working on now. Where I think the existing intellectual property is most useful. […]

The Catalog at 3,788 Products: A 2026 Inventory

This article is different from the others in the series. The first five were narratives — one thread each, traced from a 2017 entry forward to a product. This one is an inventory. If you are reading the series for the story, you can skip it. If you are reading it as a prospective licensee […]

Why I Self-Published Instead of Filing

The question I get more than any other, from other inventors especially, is why I self-published my inventions in a book instead of filing utility patents on them. The short answer is cost. The longer answer — the one this article is about — is that for an inventor with more than a thousand ideas […]

Voxel: The Architecture That Was a Chip, a Building, and a Battery

The voxel architecture is the most generalizable thing in my entire portfolio. The same four-ingredient stack — a conductive material, a non-conductive material, looped vectors of empty space, and a software layer that places them — appears in eight commercial products on cri-one.com today, spanning four orders of magnitude in physical scale. It is a […]

On the nineteenth of September, 2025, the President signed Executive Order 14351, establishing the program that the press has been calling the Trump Gold Card: a paid, chip-embedded residency card that grants a fast track to immigration benefits in exchange for a large financial contribution. When the details were published, several people who knew my […]

From a + m² = E to a One-Megawatt Building

I want to do something specific in this article. I want to take one entry from my 2017 book and walk it forward, year by year, all the way to a product that is live on cri-one.com today. The entry I have chosen is short. It is one hundred and twenty characters long. It reads […]

The Book That Started Everything

On the twenty-fourth of November in 2017, a brown cardboard envelope arrived at my house. Inside it was a paperback book I had written and self-published a few weeks earlier through CreateSpace, Amazon’s print-on-demand imprint at the time. The book was called Invent Depositions. It carried the International Standard Book Number 9781979767897. It listed me […]
