An illustrative reconstruction of an inventor's cortex: mental prototyping, resonance, and an obsession with energy in motion.
Illustrative reconstruction. These entries are written to demonstrate the format of a cortex and are not attributed historical quotations.
Recorded thoughts
Alternating current is not a compromise; it is the natural language of distance.
