Over the past several months, we’ve been working on a document that doesn’t fit comfortably into any existing category.
It isn’t a book of poems, though it uses poetic compression.
It isn’t a memoir, though it tracks a life.
It isn’t theory, though it names systems.
The working title is Post-Occupancy Diagnostic Report: The Standardization of Erasure.
The premise is simple: to render a human life the way institutions already do—through calibration metrics, maintenance logs, thermal loads, and compliance language. Childhood appears as a primary installation. Career appears as an institutional alibi. Domestic life appears as thermal management. Moments of relief appear as documented leaks.
There is no redemption arc. There is no recovery narrative. The text does not argue for escape. It documents what happens when continuity is maintained successfully.
Were releasing it soon as a physical paperback and an ebook.
This is not an announcement asking for enthusiasm. It’s a record that the object exists and is about to enter circulation.
If you’ve been reading this Substack or you’ve seen our other publications, you’ll recognize the lineage. If you haven’t, this may not be the right entry point.
More soon.
