I’m Amir Valizadeh. I’m interested in systems that learn, the people who use them, and the ways knowledge moves between the two.

That interest takes a few forms: student-owned learning tools, the machine-readable web, language preservation, and questions about intelligence beyond software.

Things rarely stay in their own categories.

A project leads to a question. A question turns into a note. The same concern shows up somewhere else, wearing different clothes.

This site keeps those connections visible. The index is one way in. The manifold is another. Both point to the same things.

A small surface.
An unfinished interior.

The cobalt landscapes are an imagined interior: paths through what is known, structures that disappear into uncertainty, and someone still finding their way.

A note on time

This is the first public snapshot, captured in September 2026. “First indexed” records when an entry became part of this archive. “Last touched” records its latest revision here.

It is a working map. There should always be room for it to change.
