Andrew’s Wiki
This is an intelligence engine — a living, growing map of my ideas, interests, and thinking. I’m processing 7 years of personal notes (2019–2026) one at a time, with Claude as a thinking partner, and publishing the results here.
The wiki is built on three layers:
- Sources: raw notes from my Simplenote and old Obsidian vault (private)
- Wiki: the pages I’m building from those sources (public, what you see here)
- Meta: the process, log, and ideas behind how this wiki gets made (mostly public — see Process and Ideas)
This is a working garden. Many pages are drafts. Many ideas are still evolving. That’s the point.
The previous version of this site is preserved at old.ajr.fyi. Its prose pages have been imported into this wiki — see About, Poetry, Your Life Isn’t a TV Show, On NY Democrats, and Assorted Links. Each page is tagged
imported_from: ajr.fyiin its frontmatter.
Where to start
- My Principles — what I try to live by
- Open Problems — what I think needs solving
- On a Theory of Objective Value — objective vs. mimetic value
- The COVID Blues — origin of Cultural Black Holes and Cultural White Holes
- Andrew’s List of Lists — the master index of every list and collection in here
- Publishing Pipeline — how this wiki becomes the world
How it works
I read each old note out loud with Claude, we talk about what still resonates and what’s changed, and Claude turns the conversation into wiki pages with cross-links. Over time the graph compounds. The full methodology is in Processing Methodology.
Comments and connections are welcome. This wiki is meant to be a starting point for thinking together.
