About

I am Jeffrey Benjamin, a system architect and independent researcher. I have worked in healthcare systems for over thirty years, and I am available for contract work. I write systems, science, and stories.

Everything here is free to read. If you want to pay for the reading time, see support.

This body of work represents what I did while homeless with no income. I'm returning to society now, and everything helps, whether it is work, a donation or a connection. Thank you.

My ORCID is 0009-0008-5226-4346. You can write to me at jbenjaminaz@gmail.com.

What this is

A body of work on how systems fail when they must make irreversible decisions under limits, and on what that means for health and financial inclusion. The papers are preprints on Zenodo, self-archived and not yet peer-reviewed. Several nutrition papers are co-authored with Keith Floyd, and Naija Opportunity Passport (NOP) was with the vision and collaboration of J. V. Simisola. The site keeps stories, lines, evidence and stance in separate lanes on purpose. See why.

What it is not

This site is educational and does not promote drug use. It examines whether some plant materials belong in a nutrition category, not a drug category.

This site is not medical advice. Nothing here tells anyone to start, stop or change a treatment, including treatment for diabetes. The health material is hypothesis and review, and each claim says so in the ledger.

Interests

The Legibility paper carries this competing-interests statement, restated here because it bears on the Financial Inclusion thread:

The author holds a financial interest in a commercial venture that applies this architecture. The venture was under development while this paper was written, and the interest was present during the work rather than acquired after it. No site connected to that interest is declared as a test site in this paper; any such declaration will accompany the reporting of any result drawn from it.

Tips sent through Ko-fi or in Solana are personal income to the author. They buy no influence over what is written here. See support.
