Projects

Research, tools, and community initiatives. Each project spans at least two content pillars — because the interesting problems live in the overlaps.

Pixel-art scene: clean-shaven Science Stanley with spiky hair at his Venice Beach lab workstation — a red-string discovery wall and warm desk lamp on the left, glowing CRT monitors with abstract data and a DNA helix, a lab bench with a microscope and bubbling beakers, and a cosmic Venice sunset through the window
Pixel-art scene — Stanley smiles inside his darkened lab as a golden lattice of glowing nodes and threads fills the window and walls, a warm desk lamp below
Lattice Protocol

Lattice Protocol

AI-native infrastructure for agentic workflows — federated compute, verifiable science, and composable modules that bridge human expertise with autonomous AI.
