Research

Selected research publications.

Open technical research that demonstrates how InTelluric reasons from evidence, mechanism, and testable consequence before any client-specific provision is commissioned.

Process-structure review

Volatile-Templated Ceramic Microstructures for Resonant and Dielectric Function

Evaluates burnout-derived pore architecture, phase segregation, and carbonaceous residues as intentional microstructure-design variables in low-temperature ceramic systems.

Demonstrates process-structure-property mapping from volatile pathway to acoustic, dielectric, RF/microwave, and nonlinear functional response.

Formal engineering path

Rotating Near-Field Envelopes Without Mechanical Motion

Builds a deterministic engineering path from MRI birdcage resonators and RMF systems to rotating magnetic near-field envelopes.

Demonstrates that the public surface can answer non-obvious technical questions with enough specificity to be cited rather than merely browsed.

Formal scaling theory

Why Scaling Stops / Log-Periodic Morphological Variance

Formalizes why recursive refinement reaches collapse bands when competing power-law constraints dominate at different scales.

Shows the same constraint-competition logic across transistor scaling, cell biology, capillary limits, structural buckling, and other cross-domain scale pivots.

Investigative report

The Hidden Objective Functions of Modern Personalized Feeds

Reconstructs the hidden reward surfaces of YouTube, Meta, and TikTok from public architecture disclosures, behavioral-science lineage, and outcome data.

Useful for algorithmic audit, policy, litigation, and public-health question spaces where generic summaries collapse under scrutiny.

Methodology note

Deriving the Obsidian Plasma Interface

Documents the visual and interaction language underlying the ArtiFax instrument interface — color semantics, typography discipline, spatial logic, and design-decision rationale.

A methodology artifact, not a design guide. Explains the constraints that produced the interface rather than prescribing its reuse.

Where this applies

Founder or operator translation

When technical work is real but the framing is incoherent across investors, partners, reviewers, or internal decision-makers.

Research and grant pressure

When the science may be promising but the mechanism, risks, validation path, or comparison logic are not yet legible to outsiders.

Decision pressure

When a team needs a memo, plan, or technical packet that clarifies options and boundaries before CAD, build, or procurement begins.
