FILM 01: You, the Observer, Belong in the Inquiry (2:12)
A four-act visual introduction to Digital Organism Theory: from the first-order fact of lived experience, through Big C and its capacities T and E, Little c, and Reality Frame Zero (RF₀), to the Canvas, the Painting, and Love as a low-entropy Canvas state.

FILM 02: Consciousness: A Digital Organism (0:30)
A concise 30-second synthesis of Book One: first-person observation, Big C and its capacities T and E, the 4-step Experience Loop inside RF₀, and Love as a low-entropy Canvas state for Little c.

Series on @dotheory
The episodes are in production. The reading behind each one is open now.
STREAM 01: Book One — Consciousness: A Digital Organism
Foundational concepts from Book One: the Digital Organism, Canvas, Painting, and Character, the Decoupling Principle, the Experience Loop, and Canvas Entropy.
EPISODE 01 · What Is a Digital Organism?
Experience as first-order evidence, pointing devices, and coherence preserved across change.
EPISODE 02 · Canvas, Painting, and Character
How lived experience leaves deltas on the Canvas, organizes into an interpretive Painting, and acts as Character.
EPISODE 03 · When Fear Governs the Loop — Canvas Entropy & Love
Why unresolved Fear fragments the Canvas (high Canvas entropy) and why Love is a low-entropy Canvas state for Little c.
STREAM 02: Epistemic Method & Open Questions
How Digital Organism Theory separates Observation, External model, DOT derivation, and Speculative extension—and where the inquiry remains open to falsification.
EPISODE 04 · Where the Theory Is Still Open
Rendering Latency, the interaction burden, the Limit of Knowledge, and the empirical tests that could falsify Decoupling.
STREAM 03: The American Millennial Manifesto (Applied DOT)
Applying Digital Organism Theory to public life: how economic dependence becomes extraction, how extraction becomes power, and how inherited culture makes it feel normal.
EPISODE 05 · How a System Gets Inside Us
How civilization, institutions, and economic extraction enter daily experience as strokes on individual Canvases.
EPISODE 06 · Dependence, Extraction, and Shared Agency
Why fear-governed institutions narrow human decision-space—and how personal and structural repainting proceed together.
That is every film and series stream in the catalogue. New episodes appear on @dotheory without schedules, streaks, or notifications.
