I work on the construction of executable semantic order.
I publish and work under the name Tyson Chen (Hsin Yi Chen).
My research investigates the structural conditions under which semantics can function as an operational constraint within computational systems—shaping execution, coordination, and responsibility rather than remaining a descriptive layer.
Focus
The central concern of my work is structural rather than applicative.
I study how semantic commitments can be:
- made executable at runtime,
- externally auditable and replayable,
- and stable under composition across agents and systems.
This focus leads naturally to work on semantic instruction architectures, agent interfaces, identity and memory structures, and mechanisms for traceability and accountability.
Roles
Alongside research, I engage in applied and institutional work where these structures are instantiated under real constraints.
This includes founding and leading SlashLife AI, as well as participation in standards and governance activities related to AI systems, identity infrastructures, and accountable computation.
These roles are treated as projections of the research, not as independent pursuits.
Orientation
This work sits at the intersection of computation, semantics, and system design.
It is motivated by the conviction that meaning must become operational if complex intelligent systems are to remain predictable, inspectable, and governable.
