[2026-06-24] ingest | Persona & Mental Model of Henry Carstens
Ingested raw/Persona of Henry Carstens.md and raw/Mental Model of Henry Carstens.md. Created two concept pages: wiki/concepts/persona-henry-carstens.md (identity-centric persona, HA derivation, 7 core axioms, negations, strengths/blind spots) and wiki/concepts/mental-model-henry-carstens.md (Algebraic Sovereignty — 5-layer build stack + 7-axiom checklist). Cross-linked the two and wired them into heuristic-algebra, lucid-judgment, polyphonic-stationarity, mastery-axiom, zero-latency, the-silk-report. Added links from wiki/overview.md (new “How He Thinks” section + See Also) and a break + links under the Career card on the landing page (_layouts/home.html). Updated index.md (Concepts) and overview date.
[2026-06-16] ingest | Dynamic Heuristic Shaping Experiment
Ingested assets/papers/dynamic_heuristics_experiment.tex (Carstens, June 16, 2026).

Added an “Empirical Test: Heuristic Shaping vs Control” snippet plus a See Also link on wiki/concepts/heuristic-algebra.md and bumped its updated date. Updated index.md (Achievements section, date).

Added a “Systems & Architecture: Heuristic Agents as Skills” section to wiki/concepts/heuristic-algebra.md documenting the June 2026 Heuristics-to-Agent advancement: 117 heuristics/personas/mental models compressed into triggerable LLM skills that autonomous agents can self-bind to (e.g., forecasting agents invoking the 8 Superforecasting axioms). Bumped frontmatter updated date and added tags (agents, skills, heuristics-library). Refreshed agentic_index.json and llms.txt to reflect the new content and date.
[2026-06-01] generate | ABR Logistics CTO Resume & Cover Letter
Lucid Tailor run for the CTO role at ABR Logistics (docs/job descriptions/CTO ABR Logistics.md). Full-time employee framing (not consultant).
