## Names (all the same person)

- Paul Edward Harris 4th (primary published name)

## Research

- [Continuous-Time Latent Dynamics for Long-Horizon Chaotic Forecasting under Irregular Sampling (Zenodo, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23772387)](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23772387): technical report, preprint, not peer reviewed. Compares a continuous-time latent neural ODE (SynechismV23) with Transformer, LSTM and Mamba-style forecasters on the chaotic Lorenz-63 system when data arrives at uneven times. SynechismV23 had the longest valid prediction time in all four timing regimes; its lead over the LSTM is small and not yet statistically established.
- [SynechismCore code and results (GitHub)](https://github.com/seek-k-nowledge/SynechismCore): MIT license. The name comes from synechism, Charles Sanders Peirce's idea that reality is continuous.

## Podcast

- Listening Between the Lies: a video podcast that looks at breaking stories as they happen: what's confirmed, what isn't, and who benefits. The right questions early, not final answers. Official trailer coming soon.

## Open-source tools

- [Narrative Radar](https://github.com/seek-k-nowledge/narrative-radar): checks public news and social feeds every 15 minutes and flags stories that suddenly surge.
- [Firm Radar](https://github.com/seek-k-nowledge/firm-radar): flags warning signs of coordinated inauthentic behavior for a human analyst to check. Accuracy not yet measured.
- [GraphRAG Agent](https://github.com/seek-k-nowledge/enterprise-graphrag-agent): a working prototype that answers questions from a knowledge graph and shows where each answer came from.
