Graph Neural Networks and the Shape of Thought
Computational Principles of Relational Learning and Structural Intelligence Abstract Intelligence is inherently structural. It does not emerge from isolated inputs, but from the patterns of connection between them: networks of entities, relationships, hierarchies, and transformations. In the human brain, thought unfolds through such structure: semantic associations, causal chains, conceptual graphs,…

Incremental Modernisation of Legacy Software Systems
Patterns and Strategies to Prevent Entropy, Regression, and Systemic Fragility Introduction Modernizing legacy systems isn’t about throwing everything away and starting fresh. It’s about evolving systems incrementally, safely, and under real production constraints. While targeted rewrites can be necessary, treating modernization as a single “Big Bang” replacement project introduces critical…
