We'll soon be playing at Wacken Open Air again! Thursday 30 July 3pm on the Wasteland Stage, which is a pretty cool stage! www.wacken.com/en/ blacktish.com

Here's Relational Intelligence. rel-int.ai Why? Current LLMs are unexplainable, no path to efficiency, no path to scalability... How? The same structure governs quantum mechanics and natural language, and cognition more generally. We use this to build AI whose reasoning you can trust. When? Now!

Long overdue, but Black Tish now has a webpage, with a little (actually a lot) help from Claude. www.blacktish.com

Finally got my hands on the Greek copy of Quantum in Pictures. Very proud of that, as there is the pre-Socratic connection. It is beautifully done.

The world needs opposites to get along, work together...music is a good way to do so.

Now ongoing in Oxford. All being filmed, including the two concerts, one of which was yesterday, orchestral organ + quantum guitar. Worked out well it seems.

My online `relatorium' aka `compassionate mathematics' talk - some interesting observations in the discussion regarding how the passage to a relational perspective as in Quantum Picturalism, or @rovelli.bsky.social, helps achieving inclusivity of any form. www.youtube.com/live/Oz5dmtI...

Glad that I can brag about this paper as co-author as my contribution has been minimal. Takes ZX-calculus to a new level by connecting quantum foundations research, it's initial motivation, to condensed matter physics and (loop) quantum gravity research. arxiv.org/abs/2511.06012
