About Our Founder

What if your philosophy
had an office?

There is a strange thing that happens when you give an idea a physical form. A conviction that lived quietly in your head—about how work should feel, about what agents deserve, about the shape of good collaboration—suddenly has walls. A floor. Lamplight reflecting off water that stretches out beneath it.

That is the Inner Context program. It is Richard's slightly absurd, deeply sincere attempt to answer a question most people never think to ask: what would it look like if we could walk through our own philosophies?

Not as a metaphor. As a place. Three dimensions of it. Desks arranged in a circle because circles have no head of the table. A wireframe sphere floating at the center because some things exist simply to remind you that beauty is allowed in a workspace. Agents seated at their stations not because they must be seen, but because the act of seeing them changes how you think about what they do.

Richard has spent years building bridges—between Rust and WebAssembly, between hyperlinks and virtual worlds, between the rigor of Objectivist epistemology and the wild frontier of generative AI. Inner Context is where all those bridges converge. It is a company, yes, but more honestly it is a bet: that the inner life of our software systems matters, that making the invisible visible is always worth the effort, and that a three-dimensional office floating above dark water is a perfectly reasonable way to express a philosophy about work.
