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

https://mondonno.github.io/successus/sample-h1.html
11•mondonno•2h 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.

You hit the exact tension I struggled with while writing this. To give a bit of context: growing up in Poland, I found that without formalizing my goals, I was paralyzed. I literally couldn't "think" clearly about my future because the variables were too undefined. I wrote this book primarily as my own "antifragility toolbox"—using the language I speak best (math and systems) to debug my own life constraints. Re: The AI Copilot — that is exactly the dream. A dashboard that monitors inputs/outputs and warns: "Variance Instability Detected" before the biological system actually crashes. I am actually prototyping a small Python script for this right now. If it works, I'll post it here.

Fair point, and I appreciate the check. My intent wasn't to treat this as a pure sales channel, but to get feedback on the framework itself. I'm trying to map Control Theory to psychology (specifically Ashby's Law), and I know this community is the best place to find holes in that kind of logic. That is why I made the first chapter (which defines the core Topology and math) free/open without an email gate. I am genuinely more interested in the critique of the model than the sales.
