Research Update
Research did what research does — it grew.
A straightforward investigation into black holes — which, in hindsight, was never going to stay straightforward — quietly dropped a seed. Somewhere along the way, it germinated. OCT was the seedling. MPDEC became the sapling. And then MORK… well, MORK didn’t stay in its planter box.
It sprouted branches.
Some reached into the CMB.
Some wandered into quantum field theory.
A few stretched all the way into questions about the nature of spacetime itself.
One or two, I suspect, are still out there somewhere. I’ll find them eventually.
I never claimed to have a green thumb, but apparently cosmology has very fertile soil — and absolutely no respect for project timelines.
Because of this unexpected growth, MORK is currently undergoing revisions. Not because something went wrong. Quite the opposite, in fact: the framework expanded faster and farther than originally planned, and integrating that expansion responsibly takes time. The universe didn’t arrive at its current state in a hurry, and neither will this manuscript.
The upside — and it is a genuine upside — is that what I’m now preparing for publication is substantially more complete than what I originally set out to write. OCT, MPDEC, the revised MORK manuscript, and the broader structure they’ve grown into will all be part of that process. The full corpus, rather than installments.
More updates will follow as the project moves toward release. In the meantime, the research continues to be exactly as well‑behaved as research ever is.
