the unfolding thought

I opened an office in the backrooms. 

There was lots of space and it was cheap. It was in the spring, 2025. I’m not sure if I’ll keep working from there, it was available and made sense at the time. 

There, one begins to think differently. Time loses its linearity. Tasks dissolve into observation. Meaning seeps through the cracks of repetition. The backrooms are the infrastructure of our cognition: unglamorous, invisible, ambient. They are where thought loops endlessly, waiting to be unfolded.

Unfolding Thought begins here, where most texts end: in the maintenance spaces of digital thought. The backrooms are a condition, a metaphor for the doom scroll, autoplay, and the architectures of algorithmic culture.

To set up a desk here is an act of orientation. The essays that follow are not linear readings but evolving encounters that rearrange and reveal themselves as you spend time within them. This is not a fixed publication like a book, but a dynamic medium. Each reader’s path generates its own construction of meaning, culminating in a personalized, curated Meta Essay.

Unfolding Thought is less a book than a building, an architecture of attention.
