I'm Matt. I live in Seattle with my two cats who run the place. Professionally I build machine learning systems. Unprofessionally I fall into rabbit holes and build things at the bottom.
The papers are deep dive. The blog posts are long and probably have too many footnotes. The projects are what happens when "I wonder if..." turns into three weeks.

All →Exactly Certified Dispersive Functionals from Automated Search: An Application to Gravitational Positivity Bounds
An automated evolutionary search designs dispersive positivity-bound functionals under one hard rule: the sole selection pressure is an exact-arithmetic certificate, not floating-point SDP up to tolerance. The pipeline reproduces the scalar EFT-hedron with all-spin exact certificates and yields spin-truncated certified bounds on the R⁴ coefficient of D=10 maximal supergravity. Framed as a certified-rigor methods demonstration rather than a new physics bound: a controlled ablation finds the language model gives no search advantage, and four independent routes converge on the same tangency wall near 3.0.
