I am super-pleased to be serving on the PC of the excellent and much-needed "Undone Science in CS" 2026: "to provide an opportunity to pause and reflect on the epistemological and ethical aspects of computer science". For much more information, please see:

What is digital about abstraction?
This chapter examines abstraction as a central principle of computing, not merely as a cognitive skill or epistemological category, but as a material and organizational practice that structures how software is built, used, and embedded in society. By tracing abstraction through historical developments in programming, operating systems, and networking, the text highlights its dual role in enabling modularity and layering while simultaneously shaping cultural, economic, and organizational forms. …

The Nature of Reasoning in Theology, Philosophy, and Mathematics
This article supports the epistemological claim that sound human reasoning about ultimate knowledge is either foundational or circularly justified. In particular, questions which naturally arise in theology, philosophy, and related disciplines, to the extent that they rationally treat ultimate knowledge, are necessarily supported in one of these ways. Comparisons with, contrasts to, and analogies from mathematics are given to illustrate and enhance this central claim.

The Geometry of Motion, Vol. I: Mechanics as Geometries
This work presents a group-theoretic interpretation of the historical evolution of mechanics, proposing that each fundamental theory of motion corresponds to a distinct geometry in the sense of Felix Klein. The character of each geometry is uniquely determined by its Inertia Group-the group of spacetime transformations that preserves its privileged class of inertial motions. We trace the three major epistemological ruptures in the history of mechanics by translating foundational physical princi…
