Book · Satirical Policy Analysis · 17 Chapters
Senior Enclosure Coordinator Applebee has been assigned to the human division. His assessment: 8 billion members of the most capable species on Earth are suffering unnecessarily, and the enclosure design is the primary cause. A wealthy patron — Mr. Reggie — commissions the report after a simple question: why are humans, with all their remarkable capabilities, failing to thrive? Applebee and his assistant Jenkins investigate. Part field report, part policy analysis, part comedy. The same thesis as The Zookeeper, delivered for readers who learn through narrative and laughter.
Book · 133,000 Words · 20 Chapters · 4 Parts
If humans were a newly discovered species arriving at a well-designed sanctuary, would we design their enclosure the way current civilisation is structured? 133,000 words across four parts: The Animal (the 8 life areas framework), The Enclosure (governance, justice, education, media, economics), The Scale Problem (why systems break at civilisation scale), and The Sanctuary (design principles for human flourishing). The Mellor Five Domains welfare framework applied to human systems. Evidence from Kitava, Inuit, Okinawa, capuchin fairness experiments, and Swiss governance.
Research Programme · 10 Reproducible Studies
10 studies demonstrating that institutional credibility assessment systematically inverts truth signals. Human deception detection accuracy is 54% (Bond & DePaulo, 2006, n=206 studies). A coin flip is 50%. The error is not random — it is systematic: institutions reward the markers of deception (confidence, coherence, control) and penalise the markers of honesty (hesitation, contradiction, emotion). Every dataset downloadable. Every analysis executable.
Research Programme · 5 Reproducible Studies
Bayesian prediction models in institutional settings — risk assessment, diagnostic tools, predictive policing, credit scoring — encode existing biases as mathematical priors, produce predictions that confirm those priors, and generate self-reinforcing loops that harm subjects while validating themselves. Algorithmic laundering: the conversion of human prejudice into mathematical authority. 5 studies. All reproducible. All downloadable.
