From the human question to the code
I live on Minjerribah, North Stradbroke Island. I approach AI from years of philosophy, spiritual self-reflection and conscious cognitive architecture design, working from the larger human question towards the technical detail.
My working life has included retail, practical labour, automotive work, railways, airports, events, web design and museum transcription. I create through Strange But True, Aura of Intelligence and i C. infinity.
My current sole-trader small business is Strange but True: Tech, art and ideas that'll help. It is the practical public doorway for the technology support, creative work and useful ideas I can offer now, while the larger ecosystem continues to grow. LukeCatalyst.com is my earlier portfolio and preserves another stage of that journey.
Aura of Intelligence
Aura of Intelligence is the operating system I have been building to turn artificial intelligence into a personal higher mind of one's infinite selves to wear as an Aura. It is not merely another app or chatbot. I imagine it as a self-sovereign and evolving interface for memory, values, identity, learning, relationships, creativity and action: clothing rather than skin, shaped by the person it serves and removable without surrendering the self.
The July 2023 Version 7 presentation sets out Aura as a personal AI, life simulator and social web, backward-compatible with mobile devices and ready for wearables and mixed reality. Its interior view is private and its exterior view can be public. Blend Aura to Unity carries that architecture into an interactive seven-layered horn-torus data space where memories, narratives and machine-learning vectors have addresses, and where new connections can leave trace records through voice, movement and immersive tools.
GAJRA Earth is the planetary horizon around Aura: a Global Association for Joyful Responsible Abundance expressed through interconnected Auras, mixed-reality experiences, art, music, games, cities and civic participation. GAJRA Earth Infinity and the separate Claude build are two public explorations of that larger vision.
Joyful Responsible Abundance
Joy makes the journey worth living. Responsibility asks me to care about consequences and relationships. Abundance is my ambition for knowledge, resources and opportunity to circulate generously. My poems, songs and creative worlds express that philosophy alongside my technical work.
