Introducing myself in 16 lines:
- I enjoy contemplating abstract ideas and coding to create things.
- Majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Philosophy at Columbia University in NYC, USA.
- Interested in the interaction between humans and computers as interfaces and how they interact with each other.
- This is similar to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), but with some differences.
- Specifically, I am interested in communication when sharing the subjective experience of time ≈ Virtual Time.
- Previously, I developed an online teaching platform called /kineto based on this concept (iOS/Mac). (Untrodden 2020)
- Recently, I have been implementing an environment for asynchronous voice communication based on the same concept.
- I have detailed this here: Virtual Spacetime: Model, Technology, and Applications of Spacetime without Physical Constraints
- 💭 Values
- I aspire to “Living in a Way that Clears the Fog of the World”.
- Regarding my life, I think of it as “That’s Also Life” and believe in affirming the current situation and aiming for gradual progress.
- I have a belief in technological progress and optimism for the future, which I consider akin to faith.
- 💓 Likes
- I enjoy using the GPS life logging app The Mist of the World and recommend it to everyone.
- I am a heavy user of Scrapbox (PKM) and enjoy exploring and experimenting with tools that can be used as an external brain.

(Still rough, will refine later)
- Content to be added
👀 Interests
- I am interested in the cycle of implementing and experimenting with new things and then reflecting on abstract concepts.
- Currently, I am particularly interested in how human communication can be shaped based on the subjective perception of reality.
- If we perceive communication as connecting subjective realities, aiming for a smooth connection might be beneficial.
- I am working on writing content with this theme, WIP.
- Virtual Spacetime: Model, Technology, and Applications of Spacetime without Physical Constraints
- Specifically, I am interested in communication methods based on relative time perception.
- I believe time perception becomes subjective and relative, leading to a different form from the traditional “everyone sharing a linear timeline.”
- However, much of the existing research focuses on individual human time perception.
- I am interested in the interaction between entities (primarily humans) perceiving time in this environment.- For instance, traditional synchronous communication assumes sharing time, which may not work in a context where the perception of time is relative.
- If we perceive communication as connecting subjective realities, aiming for a smooth connection might be beneficial.
- Therefore, by applying the mechanism of Elastic Synchronization, a prototype of a new voice communication based on a relative time perception is being implemented.
- Additionally, a collection of pages that explore ideas and experiments from Exploration of Virtual Time is available.
- There is also an interest in using computers as an External Brain for extending intellectual capabilities.
- Collaborating with a friend to improve the concept of Semantic Desktop into a Knowledge Base.
- Original concept: Protocol & Interface for Connecting Various External Brain Services
- Collaborating with a friend to improve the concept of Semantic Desktop into a Knowledge Base.
