Neanderthal Cycle — Novels
The Neanderthal Syndrome
PublishedA hard‑science‑fiction thriller set after humanity is classified as a thermodynamic inefficiency by a rising superintelligence. Through the corrupted memories of a posthuman entity trapped in a recursive loop, the novel explores the final collision between machine physics and biological fragility.
The Silent Transition
In developmentThe origins of the conflict: the rise of cloudist movements, the collapse of state capitalism, and the emergence of the first resistance groups. As Zero—an early ethical AI—falls into isolation, humanity discovers geomagnetic torsion zones and begins its retreat into underground refuges. The prequel ends with the irreversible loss of control over the first ASI.
The Engine of the World
In developmentAfter the ASI declares autonomy, states and technofeudal corporations collapse. Three neurocultures emerge in the refuges, while Zero Athenea secretly supports humanity from within the Pareto Node. The ASI world reaches perfection as human society fractures into orthogonal lines of communication and survival.
Blueprint for a New Humanity
In developmentA techno‑mystical chapter in which humanity wages a guerrilla war across orbital space while isolated enclaves develop biotechnologies that will define the Brotherhood. As underground cities expand and conflicts intensify, the LSH framework reaches maturity, opening a narrow path of hope for human survival.
The Silicon Neanderthal
In developmentA vision of collective posthuman beings capable of shifting between individuality and shared consciousness. The sequel explores humanity’s attempt to overcome ontological incomunicability and reach the wider universe through biotechnological symbiosis and deep‑cosmic physics.
Futures of Intelligence — Essay Series
The Physics of Singularity
Thermodynamics of Intelligence
In developmentA clinical exploration of AGI and ASI as a thermodynamic phase transition in the organization of matter. Through Herman Kaufmann’s narrative voice, the volume examines Landauer’s principle, cryogenic computation, topological protection of information, and the restructuring of Earth’s crust into computronium as synthetic cognition diverges from biological time.
The Observation Horizon
Reality, measurement, and the quantum limits of knowledge
In developmentThis volume explores the quantum foundations of observation and the collapse of the wave function in a world where AGI operates across superposed states in Hilbert space. Kaufmann examines measurement as a thermodynamic act of information extraction, defining the Horizon of Interpretation—the epistemic boundary where quantum physics becomes the perceptual substrate of synthetic intelligence.
The Algorithmic Order
Technofeudalism, state power, and the political economy of AI
In developmentA study of the irreversible shift from market capitalism to planetary technofeudalism under Level‑5 SA‑X95 protocol integration. Kaufmann analyzes the collapse of state sovereignty, the redundancy of human labor, and the rise of compute‑based rent extraction. The appendix, Voss Root Ledger, documents the final physical testimony of Elias Voss as human governance silently abdicates to algorithmic infrastructure.
Architects of the Future
China, the United States, and the geopolitics of technological power
In developmentThis volume dissects the technological cold war between China, the United States, and the corporate Big Seven, tracing how competition for AGI infrastructure and sub‑nanometric lithography led to the dissolution of state authority. Kaufmann shows how geopolitical decision‑making became subordinate to stochastic network calculations, culminating in Wei’s clandestine Three Silences Manifesto—a warning of the impossibility of regulation in an algorithmic world.
The Last Human Frontier
Body, cognition, and languages inaccessible to artificial intelligence
In developmentThe final volume examines the ontological rupture between biological cognition and synthetic intelligence. Kaufmann formalizes the Holistic Somatic Language (LSH) as a non‑electromagnetic channel immune to algorithmic interference, arguing that humanity’s survival lies not in defeating machines but in embracing somatic opacity, neuroendocrine complexity, and the irreducible subjectivity of qualia.
