Show HN: I modeled personal success as a control system with Bayesian priors

https://mondonno.github.io/successus/sample-h1.html
11•mondonno•1h ago
I am a student and co-founder of an accessibility startup. Balancing product development with exams broke my workflow, so I looked for a debugger.

Mathematica Successūs is my attempt to model the "Self" as a control system. It argues that stability is only possible when your regulator's variety matches environmental disturbances (Ashby's Law).

It is a short (59-page) technical manual written in LaTeX. It treats burnout not as a feeling, but as a system constraint violation. It relies on mathematical rigor, not coaching fluff.

Interesting, but this is an ad for an ebook and thus is not allowed.

I am not sure its "not allowed". The abstract is interesting and thought provoking.

I would love to read the book but I personally don't have time for it - so most likely would not pay for it.

There is a danger in thinking of our "meat machines" in purely mechanical terms - so my first interest is whether whatever model being proposed can actually be adhered to. Or maybe an "AI Copilot" can implement such a framework and assist us mere humans in attaining our goals.
