    Episode #189 – Gabriel’s Horn: The Shape of Everything
    Apr 23 2026
    In 1641, Evangelista Torricelli, a student of Galileo, rotated the curve y = 1/x around the horizontal axis and obtained a shape whose interior volume converges to π while its surface area diverges to infinity. Mathematicians of the day called the result an abomination. This episode argues that *Gab

    Episode #188 – The Exhaust Principle
    Apr 22 2026

    In 1973, Jacob Bekenstein showed that a black hole’s entropy is proportional to its surface area. The result has been treated as a paradox for fifty years. This episode proposes the resolution: a black hole has the most entropy because it is the biggest engine physics permits, and the second law is the receipt for every act of building since Genesis.

    Episode #187 – The Shannon Trap
    Apr 20 2026
    In 1948 Claude Shannon formalised information theory by excluding meaning from the math, a move that was correct for his engineering problem and costly once the field adopted his measure as the definition of information itself. This episode walks through the inversion and the proposed repair: K = Ic².

    Episode #184 – On the Same Page
    Feb 19 2026
    Two independent research teams arrive at the same conclusion: Bitcoin blocks are quantized time. How K=IC2 reframes the bitcoin thesis through the physics of information, constraint quality, and the Cf/Cp ratio.

    Episode #183 – Capital in the 22nd Century
    Jan 23 2026
    A response to the paper Capital in the 22nd Century. The paper argues AI will create permanent techno-feudalism. Its starting assumptions are profoundly wrong. Wealth is not a stock of stuff. It is the set of problems we know how to solve.
