Short pieces that demonstrate the methodology on specific problems — how the framework sees a scene, a market, or a system differently from conventional analysis.


What a Skateboard Reveals About the Framework →

The simplest possible demonstration: one image, two analyses. What standard AI sees (“a skateboard on a sidewalk”) versus what the 3x3 framework sees (an unstable situation with absent agents and predictable risks). The gap between those two answers is the gap the framework is built to close.


Image as a System: The Earth-vs-Mars Test →

Five planetary surface images, classified by the 3x3 framework and two frontier AI systems (ChatGPT 5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.5). The framework scored 5 out of 5. The frontier models did not. The failure mode in both cases is the same: object-level reasoning that misses the contextual cues. The full image-by-image analysis is in the Earth-vs-Mars study →.
