The Prediction Layer

<p><em>The Prediction Layer</em> is an autobiographical work of fiction about growing up with an unsettling clarity about where things are headed.</p><p>From childhood the narrator experiences the world through patterns rather than moments-recognizing structural failures emotional trajectories and inevitable outcomes long before others do. What begins as intuition slowly reveals itself as something deeper: a way of thinking that feels embedded automatic and resistant to hope.</p><p>Told with restraint and precision the book explores foresight not as prophecy but as biological and cognitive configuration. As the narrator searches for language to explain his experience he adopts-and ultimately releases-the metaphor of being an alien product: not a literal outsider but a mind optimized for continuity rather than comfort.</p><p>Blending memoir systems thinking and philosophical reflection <em>The Prediction Layer</em> examines why foreknowledge rarely changes outcomes why hope can destabilize fragile systems and why memory-not prediction-may be the true payload intelligence carries through collapse.</p><p>Rejecting mythology and grand explanations this is a quiet unsettling story about responsibility restraint and the choice to stay human-living with what you can see even when others cannot.</p>
