Reproductive Inequality and the Structure of Legal Choice
Working Paper · 2026
This paper examines reproductive inequality through the legal structures that shape individual choice, responsibility, and access to reproductive decision-making. It considers whether conventional equality frameworks adequately account for asymmetries arising from the biological, temporal, and institutional conditions of reproduction, and explores their implications for contemporary legal conceptions of equality and autonomy.

Governing Superintelligence: Law, Authority, and Institutional Constraint
Working Paper · 2026
This paper examines the problem of legal and constitutional governance in a future in which artificial systems may substantially exceed human cognitive capabilities. It considers questions of authority, institutional constraint, constitutional continuity, and enforceability where the systems subject to governance may possess capabilities materially greater than those of the human institutions that created them. The project develops a legal framework for analysing how constitutional order might be preserved under conditions of profound technological asymmetry.

The Architecture of Biological Ageing
Working Paper · 2026
This working paper examines whether biological ageing is best understood as accumulated damage, loss of regulatory control, or a systems-level reorganization of biological function. It compares major mechanistic and systems-level accounts, traces the causal relationships they propose, and asks which explanatory levels can be integrated into a coherent architecture. The aim is to use the existing research record to identify structural relationships that individual experimental literatures may not make explicit.

Research Method
The work defines contested terms, separates descriptive findings from causal claims, identifies evidentiary thresholds and exceptions, compares rival models, and tests whether broader conclusions follow from the underlying record. The independent biological research does not present primary experimental results; it seeks a conceptually rigorous synthesis of existing literature.
