ai-is-now-writing-more-of-reality	AI Is Now Writing More of Reality Than We Are	essay	2026-05-21	[ "physics", "information-theory", "thermodynamics", "holography", "causal-sovereignty", "ai", "treatise" ]	On plausible order-of-magnitude estimates, AI-mediated systems now inscribe bits of reality per second at a rate at least comparable to—and likely greater than—all conscious human attention on Earth combined. The paper builds the case from the holographic principle and Landauer's bound, derives the four bit-rate number...	This paper makes one claim.

are-we-primarily-spiritual-beings	Are We Primarily Spiritual Beings?	essay	2026-06-05	[ "faith", "ai", "information-theory", "visual-essay" ]	A short deck asking whether humanity is headed into the greatest period of spiritual growth in its history. As machines surpass us in brawn and then brains, it argues, the only candidate left for what makes us uniquely human is spiritual connectivity—a core worth protecting and expanding as AI moves into the inner life...	A tightly focused deck built around a single existential question. It opens by placing us inside a long arc of human evolution—Human 0.0 (chemicals), 1.0 (biological substrate), 2.0 (technological substrate), and a possible 3.0 (a spiritual substrate)—and asks where that arc is heading now that, in E.O.

artificial-energy	Artificial Energy	essay	2026-05-28	[ "physics", "thermodynamics", "information-theory", "landauer", "causal-sovereignty", "artificial-energy" ]	Energy has been misnamed for two hundred years.

bit-protect-it	Bit Protect It	essay	2026-04-18	[ "foundational", "causal-sovereignty", "enviroai", "information-theory", "wheeler", "faith" ]	The site's thesis distilled to its accessible core. Walks the reader through Wheeler's 'it from bit,' Landauer's limit, and the bond-bit asymmetry in plain prose, ending at the proposition that gives the site its subtitle: bit protect it—knowing is cheaper than moving by a factor that grows every year, and that gap is ...	Bit Protect It for anyone who loves the Earth “It from bit. Every ‘it’—every particle, every field of force, even the spacetime continuum itself—derives its very existence from the apparatus-elicited answers to yes-or-no questions, binary choices: bits.”—John Archibald Wheeler, 1989 “Bit protect it.”—Jed Anderson, 202...	https://jedanderson.org/essays/bit-protect-it	1,754	CC-BY-4.0	null

Walks the planetary regulatory loop (two-to-three-decade NAAQS implementation), the thermodynamics of information (Landauer's bound, the bond-bit asymmetry), the convergence of AI capability and geophysical urgency, and the inversion that follows: environmental law has always...	For twenty-seven years I have practiced inside the environmental regulatory system, and what I want to tell you, after a career of watching dedicated people work as fast as human cognition allows against systems that move at the speed of physics, is that something has changed—quietly, in the last few years, the technol...	https://jedanderson.org/essays/bits-protect-its	4,950	CC-BY-4.0	10.5281/zenodo.20724187

Environmental Superintelligence Corpus

A machine-readable export of the published writing of Jed Anderson (ORCID 0009-0003-1807-2459) on environmental superintelligence, information physics, and faith-integrated first-principles thinking. The corpus is built around one thesis — "Bits Protect Its": information accumulates causal sovereignty over matter and energy, so directing the world by knowledge is, as a matter of physical law, vastly cheaper than directing it by force. These 900 records span foundational physics derivations, long-form essays, and a decade of short-form field notes on environmental intelligence.

900 published pieces:

type	count
essay	77
post	812
book	3
letter	1
speech	7

Schema

Each record carries:

field	type	description
`slug`	string	URL-stable kebab-case identifier
`title`	string	Piece title
`type`	string	One of: essay, post, book, letter, speech
`date`	string	Publication date, `YYYY-MM-DD`
`tags`	list<string>	Topical tags
`abstract`	string	Abstract / dek (may be empty)
`body_markdown`	string	Full prose, frontmatter-stripped (no leading YAML)
`canonical_url`	string	Authoritative page on jedanderson.org
`word_count`	int	Whitespace-delimited token count of `body_markdown`
`license`	string	Per-record SPDX license (see Licensing)
`doi`	string \| null	Zenodo concept DOI, when one exists

Licensing

This corpus is mixed-license. The authoritative license for each record is in that record's license field:

Most records are CC-BY-4.0 (899 records). Reuse is welcome with attribution to Jed Anderson / https://jedanderson.org.
1 record is CC0-1.0 (public domain dedication, no attribution required).

The dataset's top-level license metadata is set to cc-by-4.0 — the more restrictive of the two — as a conservative default. Always defer to the per-record license field, which reflects each piece's actual license.

Canonical source & provenance

Canonical site: https://jedanderson.org — the live HTML pages are authoritative. Where this dataset and the site differ, the site wins. Appending .md to any canonical_url returns the same frontmatter-stripped body carried here.
Source repository: https://github.com/jedanderson/jedanderson-site
This dataset is generated deterministically from the site source by scripts/hf-dataset-export.mjs.
