Introduction
I am an independent researcher building theorem-grounded warning criteria for recursive feedback systems. My current work centers on Loopzero — a theorem-grounded diagnostic framework for this class of systems, with a formal component in Lean 4 and empirical evaluation of a corresponding detection criterion forthcoming.
The research is focused on a specific and bounded problem: characterizing the conditions under which recursive feedback systems reach a fixed point and stop evolving. The goal is a precise, machine-checkable object that others can inspect, extend, and apply.
Research orientation
After Meta Reality Labs, I focused on the structural conditions under which recursive feedback systems collapse — a problem that recurs across recommendation, discovery, and trading architectures and is rarely specified with precision. Loopzero is an attempt to provide that specification in a form that is machine-checkable and extensible.
