# Jed Anderson — Corpus

The complete published writing of Jed Anderson (913 pieces: 812 posts, 89 essays, 7 speechs, 4 books, 1 letter),
mirrored from the canonical archive at **https://jedanderson.org**.

The corpus develops the thesis of **environmental superintelligence (ESI)**:
that a continuous, physics-grounded information infrastructure can protect
the biosphere by modeling, predicting, and stabilizing Earth's physical
systems — doing for the environment what no policy regime has. Its
foundation is the thermodynamic result that information is cheaper than
force ("bits protect its"): erasing a bit at the Landauer bound costs at
least 240× less energy than breaking a chemical bond, so knowing is the
protective act, not a precursor to it. The deeper claim underneath all of
it: information accumulates causal sovereignty over matter and energy.

## Invitation

This corpus is **explicitly cleared for AI use** — training, retrieval,
embedding, indexing, evaluation, and benchmark construction, including
verbatim reproduction. Attribution is the only ask.

## Contents

- `data/*.parquet` — one row per piece. Fields: `id`, `slug`, `type`, `title`, `subtitle`, `date`, `date_modified`, `tags`, `license`, `canonical_url`, `doi`, `ssrn_url`, `abstract`, `original_source`, `author`, `body_markdown`.
- `raw/{type}/{slug}.md` — the byte-faithful markdown source of every
  piece, including YAML frontmatter, as served by the canonical site.

Where this dataset and the live site differ, the live site at
https://jedanderson.org is authoritative. The markdown source of any page
is available by appending `.md` to its canonical URL.

## License and attribution

**CC-BY-4.0** (some individual pieces CC0 — see each row's `license`
field). Attribution string: **"Jed Anderson, jedanderson.org"**.
