From double bonds to metabolic crisis—why essential fatty acids are essential, how they're consumed, and what breaks when replacement can't keep pace.

You don't burn lumber while your walls are falling down. PUFAs aren't fuel—they're building blocks that cause problems in the wrong metabolic context.

Complex systems survive in a narrow band between rigidity and chaos. From Prigogine to Taleb—the same patterns keep emerging.

Velocity, stability, form, and consolidation aren't separate ideas—they're components of one system. Here's how the pieces fit together.

The cell maintains its shape against entropy through continuous energy flux. T3 is the conductor of this anti-entropic effort—not a metabolic accelerator, but a structural organizer.

If racetams enhance cholinergic function, they should specifically improve how well adaptations consolidate after training. A framework for thinking about timing.

Chronic testosterone replacement creates dependency through HPG axis suppression. Brief cyclical perturbation may preserve or enhance baseline function—a hormetic approach to endocrinology.

Sift started as 'grep with SQL' and evolved into infrastructure for AI agents—78 MCP tools addressing the specific failure modes of large language models: hallucination, forgetting, and unbounded resource consumption.

78 MCP tools across 8 subsystems: search, file operations, memory, context tracking, web crawling, repository indexing, SQL transforms, and hardware-aware resource management.

Every Claude Code session, Claude forgets everything. Sift solves this with persistent memory, grounded search, and infrastructure that scales with the complexity of real work.
