Alif Jakir

Omnidisciplinary inventor

philosopher–scientist–futurist

Hi, I’m Alif—welcome to my site. My work sits at the intersection of artificial and organic intelligence: how minds arise in neural and machine substrates, and how we can design systems that amplify critical thinking and partnership with humans rather than substituting for them. The full layout, contact links, and research sections load with the interactive site.

Reading List

A finished pile and a to-be-read pile. Entries added as I go; not a performance shelf.

This is my reading ledger: a finished pile and a to-be-read pile. The homepage shows what I am actively on; this page is the shelf. It will always be a little out of date, and I would rather keep it that way than fake a finished pile.

Finished (or finished enough)

Nothing shelved here yet. I will add my actual finished pile soon.

To be read

Nothing queued here yet. I will add my actual to-be-read pile soon.

If a book or paper belongs on either pile, tell me. The cosmos page is where qualia lives; the lenses page is the wider omnidisciplinary context.
