I'm Victor du Mesnil du Buisson — AI Researcher & Cognitive Systems Architect, working on memory, agency & collective intelligence.

Support operations in Manila, a tutor marketplace in Singapore, neural networks for video, four years prototyping inside a regulated bank, and several years of martial and contemplative practice.

ARCANA is the attempt to state that formally — a deterministic runtime in which reasoning proposes possibilities but cannot act alone, and where every transition can be reproduced and audited.
