Open notebook

I open this notebook in 2026 with a simple premise: what I learn about AI, cognition, and the alignment problem deserves a place where origin, context, and confidence are visible — not a chronological feed of opinions.

What lives here​

  • Gnoses (/docs) — canonical units of knowledge. Each with maturity, confidence, sources, backlinks. They evolve over time. Some start as drafts and mature; others are born canonical because they've survived years of exposure.
  • Notes (/blog, this place) — links, quick reactions to readings, clippings of what's moving. Chronological. Short. Not meant to be final.

Why now​

I'm halfway through an MSc in AI at UNICAMP, coordinate the Mensa Brasil AI group, lead Synerise in Brazil, and I'm building Gnostikon — a canonical knowledge layer so intelligent systems can stop lying about what they know. The notebook externalizes the research that feeds all of that.

What to expect​

  • Bilingual PT/EN — the definitive version of each canonical gnosis will eventually exist in both languages. Notes may stay only in PT (working language) or only in EN (reading language).
  • No hype. No lorem ipsum. No invented numbers.
  • Everything here is refutable. If you disagree with argument, open an issue on the repo or email me.

Next canonical gnoses: the alignment problem as a stoic search for truth, cognition as a recursive world-model, language as hypothesis compression, and why math predicts. Landing in he-004.

Welcome.
