Principles
The frameworks and axioms that underpin everything.
"The bottleneck isn't AI capability anymore. It's human reception. Somewhere between GPT-3.5 and Claude 3, something shifted. AI capability stopped being the constraint. The new bottleneck: Can humans understand enough to decide with confidence?"
Core Axioms
Ship at 80% or die at 0%
Perfectionism kills. The choice isn't between perfect and imperfect— it's between done and not done. Done at 80% beats perfect at 0%.
Klal over Prat
Collective over individual. The whole matters more than the part. Systems thinking over isolated optimization.
Value exists whether recognized or not
Truth doesn't need validation. Build what matters regardless of whether anyone notices. The work is the work.
Creation > Consumption
Generate, don't just consume. For years I consumed. Now it's time to generate. The shift from passive to active.
The bottleneck IS the amplifier
Constraint creates leverage. The scarce resource—human attention, human decision—is where value concentrates.
SHELET Protocol
שלט (SHELET) = Hebrew for control/dominion/mastery
"SHELET turns the 'human bottleneck' into your competitive edge."
Physical → Digital. Reality crystallization.
Digital → Intelligence. Pattern extraction.
Intelligence → Action. Human decides.
Action → Reality. AI acts with audit trail.
The human bottleneck isn't eliminated—it's amplified. 100% human agency preserved.
The Three Axioms of AI
1. No Sentient AI — Ever
"AI will never be sentient by definition. It's a machine. It's an algorithm. It's a predictive model algorithm. Therefore it needs humans to drive it. This is pashut."
It's not coming. Stop designing for it. Stop fearing it.
2. Human Control — Always
"100% human orchestrating of AI—I call it 'AI in the loop' as a contrarian to the stupid 2025 'human in the loop.'"
"In reality that's exactly where the responsibility lies. No matter how good AI gets, it's always going to need the human trigger. Always."
Every AI action needs a human trigger. No exceptions.
3. Only As Fast As Humans Understand
"The bottleneck isn't AI capability anymore. It's human reception. There is only an ability to transfer knowledge. There's no evolution of human agency."
"A person's understanding of the situation is the limiter AND the amplifier. AI has to amplify them. But their bottleneck is how AI can teach them."
Speed limited by comprehension, not compute. Can humans decide with confidence?
Framework Uniqueness
"After extensive searching through 2024-2025 AI frameworks and theories, I cannot find anything identical or even substantially similar to your SHELET protocol's core insight about compression and human agency."
This isn't repackaged thought leadership. It's a framework that emerged from 416K messages over 2.5 years of actually using AI at the edge of its capabilities.
What Makes It Different
Not "AI alignment" — assumes AI will never need aligning because it's not becoming sentient
Not "human in the loop" — flips it: AI in the loop, humans orchestrating
Not "AI safety" — reframes the question from "how do we control AI" to "how do we amplify humans"
The Translation Principle
"My biggest problem in the world is really translating the way I think into a way other people understand—and the other way around."
Every project is a translation layer:
AI capability → Human-absorbable decisions
Single-channel attention → Sustainable output
Categorical diagnoses → Dimensional understanding
Passive consumption → Searchable knowledge
The Year Arc
This is the year of harvest. No new fields. Reap what's planted.
The Cognitive Prosthetic Thesis
"After thousands of hours of plowing, mining, and adventuring how AI thinks and how I think and really how I work with tech—after many iterations of trying to place myself in different boxes—I am rather displaying the cognitive prosthetic I built."
"The prosthetic that I'm specifically after—I know that other people with my cognitive structure would find what I'm building very, very helpful. And it would likely also be very useful for people without my cognitive structure."
Not Built For Others
Built for myself. Then open-sourced.
Not Theory-First
Built from necessity. Then documented.
Not Feature Complete
Working. Shipped. Evolving.
Not A Startup
Survival infrastructure. No pitch deck.
The Honest Foundation
"Due to my general cognitive makeup of dyslexia, ADHD, autism—I've just been in the cycle of doing all of this on my own. I'm invisible to the world and I really really need money right now. We're struggling. I'm not working. My wife is working."
What This Is
Survival infrastructure that might be useful to others.
Real tools from real need. No polish. No pitch deck.
Open source because why not—it's already built.
"I am broke. I can't ask anyone for anything. I have massive rejection sensitive dysphoria. I need an agent, a partner, an enabler."
The cognitive prosthetic became the portfolio. The portfolio becomes the path forward.
External Validation
"McKinsey's 'The Agentic Organization' (September 2025) - This is your framework in corporate consulting language: 'In the agentic organization, humans steer AI rather than being replaced by it.'"
The thesis that seemed contrarian in 2023 became mainstream by 2025. The framing shifted from "human in the loop" to "human steering AI." From "AI alignment" to "AI amplification."
