Models, observers,
and the trust between them.

Working drafts of a formal language for what a model is, what an observer is, and how trust can be measured between them.

Lecture 01 · Models

What a model is

A typed operator on a context. Inputs, outputs, and the frame that holds both. The ground floor everything else stands on.

Lecture 02 · Trust

What trust is

T = c · f. Coverage and fidelity, model and observer. Two blobs and the integral between them.

Lecture 03 · Cycles

Epicycles

When corrections start to multiply, the fix is not a better epicycle. The fix is to reconsider the ground truth.

Lecture 04 · Risk

Risk surfaces

Where models live. The 3D portrait of the space governance is actually trying to chart.
