We solve problems others want to ignore.

Exploring how visual and spatial approaches solve fundamental problems in AI systems.

Documentation isn't a discipline problem. It's an architecture problem.

AI errors don't scale with capability. They scale with context failure.

Manufacturing isn't too hard. It's underserved.

This is what we research. This is what we build.

Spatial Context: Why Visual Views Solve the Documentation Problem in AI Systems

Tony Turner | June 2025

As AI-assisted development scales, a critical failure pattern emerges: error rates increase proportionally with application complexity.

This paper argues the root cause is not AI capability, but context architecture. Documentation fails because it's treated as a writing discipline rather than a structural byproduct.

We propose Spatial Context Theory: hierarchical visual views that eliminate the documentation problem entirely.

The Four Problems Every Enterprise Faces

The Black Box Problem

AI builds. Humans can't see what. Humans intend. AI can't see why.

The Guessing Problem

When context is missing, AI guesses. At scale, guessing compounds into failure.

The Context Problem

Too little context: guessing. Too much context: noise. Both fail.

The Scaling Problem

Error rates don't stay flat. They scale with complexity. Until AI becomes a liability.

Our visual approach solves all four simultaneously.

We don't just write papers. We build what we propose.
