The Surfacing · a public dive log

The man who built an emotionless engine — and rebuilt himself with it.

What this is

A climb, published while it happens.

I am below the surface — real debt, counted exactly, updated weekly at the top of this page. This site is the documented climb out: my mind and my machine, both under load, both on the record.

The machine is KYTHA, a rules-based trading engine eight years in the making. The mind is mine. From the day the engine goes live, every trade — its trades and my manual ones, in separate columns — appears here next to the broker statement that proves it. Both climbs are tracked — the engine’s road and the man’s. Seven published rules bind the whole thing, and rule six is the spine: nothing is for sale until I'm above water.
