I'm doing well! Still busy getting LUME ready for review. Being me, I'm auditing and testing everything and then doing it again. What started as a paper is now a manuscript. LUME 2.0 has already been imagined. I really want to share exactly what LUME can do, hopefully soon. How are you doing?

When LUME was first conceived, it wasn’t a physics framework. It began as a thought experiment. But something happened. Ripple behaviour matched gravitational delay. Collapse reflected energy release. Entanglement resolved — without signaling. We didn’t set out to explain General Relativity. LUME just grew into physics. Step by step, it walked the path of conservation.

Detail from a drawing in brown and graphite pencils of a Deinonychus standing on a broken tree trunk. Deinonychus is one of the most famous dromaeosaurs: feathered theropod dinosaurs that are perhaps most readily likened to ground dwelling predatory birds, but with a theropod snout instead of a beak. One of their most distinctive features is the large, sickle-shaped claw on their second toe. The drawing is detailed and intricate, and is photographed with a penny for scale, and one of the pencils it was drawn with.
