Notes & references
A running set of notes on engineering, AI agents, and the connector business model behind KaizenEdge. Updated as I learn things worth keeping.
Control Systems
Control Systems: A Primer
The fundamentals behind everything in the Control Systems section: feedback loops, block diagrams, transfer functions, poles and stability, damping, discrete time, and why delay is the dangerous part. Start here if you need a refresher.
Agent Autonomy as Loop Gain
How I decide what my AI operations agents may do without asking: every action is a prediction, outcomes are measured against it, and autonomy is raised per action type like loop gain during commissioning, with a circuit breaker and hardwired interlocks.
Money as a Control System
How I model my personal finances and my holding company as coupled control loops: a slow compounding stage, a buffer held at a setpoint, and a high-gain business stage, with the transfer functions, break-even gains and stability limits that fall out.
Engineering
A Circuit-Inspired Framework for Manufacturing Systems
A circuit-inspired model of a chosen production-control policy, separating physical WIP limits, control gain, capacity, and lag, with explicit assumptions and validation requirements.
From Mechanical to Controls
How a mechanical engineering degree turned into a controls engineering career.
