The site has six top-level sections: AI research, Sportsworks research, Cinderpoint Press (the imprint), the podcast, the talks index, and a personal page. Each division holds the canonical reference pages for the concepts coined there. Concepts that grow into multi-part programs (SAIERA) become subsites. Concepts that ship as products (SAFEMACHINE, DASHFRAME) become platforms with module sub-pages. The top level is reserved for divisions and core pages so that no concept ever needs to move out of its division as it grows.
The site is static HTML, no build step. Three sources of truth keep maintenance from sprawling.
/_partials/header.html, /_partials/footer.html, /_partials/author-bio.html: shared HTML chunks. Pages include them with <div data-include="/_partials/X.html"></div>. Editing one updates every page./_data/articles.json: a JSON registry of articles. Hubs render from it. Add an article by adding an entry; every hub picks it up automatically./style.css: a single stylesheet with theme variables. Light and dark modes are CSS custom properties keyed off [data-theme] on the root element.Pages are written for lay readers. Each concept has a definition box, a body of about 600 to 900 words, a citation block, and a link to the academic paper for those who want it. The site does not use em dashes or en dashes. It does not show fake engagement metrics. The byline format and author bio are the same everywhere.
The locked operations doc lives at /AGENTS.md. Any AI agent picking up maintenance of this site reads that first. It covers the architecture, the locked content rules, the page templates, the source paper locations, and the recipes for adding articles, concepts, books, and modules. The user does not want to relitigate decisions; the doc is the contract.
Static hosting at cinderpoint.com. No CMS, no database. Deployment is a folder sync. The waydell.com domain redirects here.
The site uses only first-party fonts and a single self-hosted JavaScript file. No tracking pixels. No third-party analytics by default. If analytics get added, they will be privacy-respecting (Plausible or similar) and documented here.
