EDITORIAL DRAFT / EVIDENCE · ONGOING · V0.1

I wanted a website to behave like an exhibition. / evidence ↗

The exhibition thesis precedes the AI framing [SUPPORTED]. HOUSE commit 48070bd records the cinematic description and no-card principle at 00:40 BST on 29 August 2026 (23:40 UTC on 28 August). The first hause.design commit followed at 14:37 BST and called itself the design system exhibited in the design system. The explicit design-system-for-AI framing appears later that day in site commit 01da778.

EDITORIAL DRAFT / OBSERVATION · ONGOING · V0.1

I wanted a website to behave like an exhibition. / observation ↗

07 / THE SPECIMEN BOOK. The first hause.design commit called the site the design system exhibited in the design system. Its front door led into a book divided by mode—Statements, Instruments and Performances—rather than a documentation sidebar. The site was not explaining an exhibition metaphor from outside. It was using the language to exhibit itself.

THE PRACTICE / AUTHOR DESCRIPTION

Chris Hay / A house for ideas, systems and objects ↗

Chris Hay. A house for ideas, systems and objects. Building things to find out how they work. Ideas: Questions, research and the notebook. A place for thinking before the answer. Systems: Models, software, design languages and infrastructure. Giving an idea a structure that can be explored. Objects: Things made, used, worn and kept. Software, interfaces, films and publications give ideas a form; a personal collection records the objects around the work. Chris Hay explores how intelligent systems are represented, executed, understood and experienced. Research, Engineering, Design, Film form one practice. LARQL: Querying and running learned systems. An investigation into what becomes possible when a model can be addressed. VINDEX3: Exploring how a model is represented, and how that representation relates to its execution. HAUSE: A language for how intelligent systems express themselves: claims, evidence, questions, comparisons and refusals. MCP-CLI / CHUK: Tools for connecting agents, models and the systems they use. Research: Experiments, evidence and open questions. A map of the programmes and their recorded findings. Notebook: Experiments, working notes and essays from the work. Follow a thread or explore the archive. Film: Another medium for thinking. Experiments, explanations and conversations in public. The record is the catalogue of the practice: stable identities, authorship, dates, source credits and citations. Publish the uncertainty as well as the result. IBM Mixture of Experts is an external production in which Chris is a regular panelist; IBM remains its producer.
