Technology, institutions, governance, and capability formation.
I write Yukti, a public institutional-reasoning platform on technology, governance, development, and capability formation. This personal site collects selected writing, research, teaching materials, and public methods.
Start Here
- Operative-State ContestabilityA working paper on evidence, challenge, and status control when AI agents act through external systems.
- Selected WorkEssays, teaching materials, and governance stress-tests.
- Samagra Vedika Governance Stress-TestThe first worked example of the Governance Stress-Test method.
- YuktiPublic essays on technology, institutions, and capability formation.
Current Focus
My current work asks how societies turn AI access, digital infrastructure, and exceptional individual capability into durable institutional capability. The work appears through Yukti essays, governance stress-tests, teaching materials, and technology-pathway analysis.
My current research examines delegated AI action: what institutions must be able to reconstruct after failure, contest while a disputed machine-generated state remains operative, and require before authorising an agent to act. I am developing this through work on runtime records, evidentiary provenance, and governance stress-tests.
