A field is the outsider's map of Xooplab — the disciplines our projects and research boards sit inside. Pick one to see the projects shipping in it, the boards working its open problems, and the publications it has produced.
Money is software now. We work on the rails, risk models, and trust primitives that let value move as freely — and as accountably — as information does.
How built and natural space should be arranged is one of the oldest questions humans have asked. We formalise the priors — ancient and modern — into structured constraints a machine can reason over and test.
Markets and platforms publish more data than anyone audits. We build open, reproducible models of how value is created, captured, and distributed — instead of vibes and quarterly decks.
Living systems compute. We study the algorithms biology already runs and the tools that let us read, model, and design at the boundary of computation and life.
Identity, provenance, and interoperability for a web whose primary reader is increasingly a machine. We build the protocols that let humans and autonomous agents share infrastructure safely.
Risk is a coordination problem. We explore transparent, programmable insurance — pooling, pricing, and payout that anyone can inspect and that pays out without a fight.
Shared state without a trusted intermediary remains genuinely useful for a narrow, important set of problems. We work on the cases where decentralisation earns its cost.
The next networking substrate carries information that cannot be copied or silently observed. We track what quantum links make newly possible — and what they break.
Artificial intelligence is the connective tissue of nearly everything we build. We work on the models, agents, and learning systems that let machines perceive, reason, and act — and, just as much, on keeping that intelligence open, legible, and accountable to the people it serves rather than sealed inside a black box.
