9 months ago I'm just about finished with Algebra-Driven Design and I love it! So, I really look forward to reading whatever else you put out!
I can't even begin to describe the impact ADD has had on my thinking in nearly every way.
It has provided yet another beautiful abstraction that is allowing me to integrate pretty much all of my interests, thoughts, perspectives and models of the world into one cohesive datatype.
It's been a wild ride and I thank you for the adventure!
I think my first foray into ADD will be designing an Algebra around Cause and Effect, Causal Diagrams, DAGs as a universal data model for time management, project management, goals, long term planning, life design, scheduling, daily execution, etc.
The algebra has been coalescing in my head for many years now, as I dance with ADHD, too many passions, far too much thinking and the desire to enjoy life in every way feasible.
As the algebra itself coalesced (in less mathematical terms), on the other side, I desired to put all these pieces I uncovered about how to live optimally into some sort of app, so I don't have to traverse the entire tree of my potential future lives when I want to write an optimal todo list in the morning.
Until ADD, those were two separate areas. ADD shows me that I can utilize universal mathematical language and concepts to articulate a complex, yet simple model... and then utilize that leak-proof model to build on top of, creating fascinating tools for myself and others.
Writing a book is hard work. So, I thought leaving this comment would be a reminder that your work in the world is incredible, appreciated and very much enjoyed.
