Field notes
The practice asks clients to bring a live claim, research direction, or decision rather than a broad subject. Its example connects disputes about where a reflected image exists—from Ibn Sina to Suhrawardi and Ibn ʿArabī—to questions faced by vision, world-model, and augmented-reality builders. The site identifies its practitioner as a literary translator and independent researcher, and says the planned weekly Notes series has no entries yet.
