These are the working gardens of Grey Nax — a creative persona, a shade to a color. The ideas here are grown in place, not filed away. Some are saplings. Some have been tended for years. Follow the links that interest you.
Projects
Lugh turns any topic into a personalized course that starts from what you specifically don’t understand — it interviews you first, identifies your actual gaps, generates targeted content in whatever format teaches that gap most effectively, and only advances you when you can explain it back, not just when you’ve finished listening.
Guildhall is a personal AI infrastructure layer for multi-model workflows — routing work to different models suited to each task, tracking what each produced and why, and running on hardware you own. Folders are the workspace; Markdown is the configuration language.
Confidente is an app that treats food sensitivity identification as a structured experiment — generating meal plans, logging symptoms alongside confounders like sleep and stress, and surfacing ingredient-symptom correlations with actual statistical confidence rather than elimination diet lore.
Citizen Science is the hardware side: a DIY colorimeter for measuring histamine and salicylates directly in food, a home mast cell reactivity test, and centrifuge-based food processing protocols for reducing load in ingredients that would otherwise be off-limits. The data these produce feeds into Confidente.
The Worn Path is a design framework for housing that stays permanently affordable without relying on anyone’s good intentions — the financial structure legally encodes the mission into the property itself, and the community design philosophy builds conditions for belonging rather than programming it into existence. Wellspring is the first Durham development built on this framework.
Daemon is a freelancer cooperative where members choose what they work on each week while the cooperative guarantees enough work for full-time benefits eligibility. Projects are allocated through an auction where honest bidding is the mathematically dominant strategy, and surplus distributes as an annual dividend weighted by contribution.
UVue is a kiosk at beaches and pools that shows you, in real time, exactly which patches of skin your sunscreen missed — overlaying UV absorption data on your reflection, the same way the sun already sees you. No supplemental UV added. Free spot check; five-dollar full scan.
FlowDice is a dice roller for TTRPGs built on one principle: get out of the way and let you roll. Calculator-style interface, no animations, works offline on any device.
The Western Horizon is a framework for running open-world tabletop campaigns where content generates from what players actually pursue — players declare goals, the GM preps obstacles, factions act between sessions, and the world keeps moving rather than waiting to be discovered.
Reference
Medicine — personal health reference: MCAS biology, conditions, interventions, the electrolyte drink, and ADHD management notes. Not a project — a living reference that grows as things get researched.
Penbrough Park — the operations manual for running the house. Executive dysfunction accommodations we’re actually using, home maintenance records, routines that work. The applied layer: what we do, not what one could theoretically try.
Campaigns
Drakkenheim — player notes for Dungeons of Drakkenheim, a gothic renaissance ruined city with five rival factions and a meteor at its heart.
Myrador — player notes for the Myrador setting, where I play Sydney Diem: a traveling stoat prophet running a small con built on ambiguous divine authority, in a world where a rebellion just started and the tyrants haven’t noticed yet.
