The collection

System Zero

One work in seven pieces, written across twenty-four years and sealed. It is where every Report is quarried from, and it has not been released.

Not a series of separate books. Seven pieces of one account — the foundation laid, the theories built on it, the thinking that went missing, the collective, the method for running it yourself, and the two that sit beside rather than inside.

The seven

Named, not described. Every one of them is quoted somewhere on this site as the source of a claim; none of them is released.

What you can read now

Two things are out of it. Everything else on this page is sealed.

The Shelf

The work that draws on it directly and quotes it in the open. Every set-apart passage in a Report is the work's own words.

The Foundation

The five theories — Controlism, Connections, Moments, Two Systems and The States. Each has a page carrying its shape: what it claims, what it rules out, and where it meets the other four. The argument for them is in here, sealed.
