About us
Imagine the horror the Disneyland officials would feel when they discovered the cruel hoax. Real birds! And perhaps someday even real hippos and lions.
The people working on Hyperreal Enterprises are Joe Corneli, Rob Meyers and Charlie Danoff. Our work spans mathematics, learning system design, and customer experience. To discuss the offerings below, drop us a line: contact@hyperreal.enterprises
Understand your AI workflow
A portion of the live map of our work on the futon stack: each ring is a scope of work, the dashed circle is where the operator's recent work has concentrated, and the faint lines link scopes through the design patterns they share.

Custom agentic harnesses and memory systems
The harness we're building to run our own work through, from perceiving to acting, based on Active Inference and checked against a formal model in Lean. Each box is one pattern of the design, in the column of its stage; a grey box is a pattern with no module in the Lean model; the purple R20 boundary is the harness observing itself. Point at a box, or click it, to see what it does and what it depends on. With a mouse, rest the pointer on the figure to enlarge it, and move out to the margin to put it back.
Other offerings
- Finding the gap. A short diagnostic of your own agent logs, run on your machines, with no data leaving them.
One request, traced three ways: to the design pattern it was about (B), to the projects that document that pattern (C), and to the project it was logged under (A). They land in different places: that is a gap. - Provenance for agent-written code. Which changes an agent made, from which request, and who reviewed them.
One request, as our tools record it: the intents read from it, each with its reason, and the same request as structured data. This is the request that reorganised this page. - Which changes have real effects. Analysis of your workflows, with controls, to find the changes that make a difference.
From our cellular automata research: two gates with the same statistics, one reading the live system and one frozen. Only the live one has an effect. Telling these apart is the point of a control.
