About This Site

This website serves as the permanent archive of the work of Thomas Walker Lynch — inventor, engineer, mathematician, AI researcher, historian, and writer. It consolidates patents, publications, essays, project histories, books, and open-source work spanning several decades.

Design Philosophy

The site uses a minimalist, durable structure designed to be readable for decades, with panel-based layouts that degrade gracefully on all screen sizes. All pages are statically generated using PHP templates with minimal dependencies.

Technical Stack

PHP (lightweight templating and includes)
CSS custom layout system with column flow
Zero-JS or low-JS design for reliability
JSON-LD structured data for SEO and identity consistency
Hand-written sitemap and robots.txt

Content

All content — patents, essays, books, biographies, career history, and project notes — is written by Thomas Walker Lynch unless otherwise noted. Legacy materials are preserved from older personal sites dating back to the early 2000s.
