My work develops a formal framework — topomatics — for the analysis of normative actors in political conflict. Drawing on deontic logic, AGM belief revision theory, and Kripke possible worlds semantics, topomatics models actors not as utility-maximizers but as bearers of axiomatic codes: structured systems of obligations and prohibitions that constitute identity and define the space of worlds an actor can permissibly inhabit. Alongside this formal program, I pursue a parallel series of essays in political theology and the philosophy of conflict — examining the deep grammar of legitimation, libidinal economy of war, and the structural failure of rational-choice paradigms in contemporary politics. I am an independent researcher.
