If this is what I think it is, it’s going to force a civilizational reorganisation on the same level as calculus, systems thinking, or literacy. Perhaps even bigger than that. I need the freedom and funds to find out. 

Those kinds of breakthroughs don’t solve one problem. They change how problems can be seen, predicted, and built for at all.

Calculus didn't add to existing mathematics. It gave us a new position to stand in from which motion and change became tractable. Everything that was previously either ignored or approximated suddenly had a language. Physics, engineering, and economics were all downstream and were all reorganised.

Literacy didn't add more speech. It made speech persistent, transferable, and stackable. Civilisation-scale coordination became possible. Everything downstream shifted.

The deVinery Grammar of Desire provides a new position to stand in that makes the hard problem category of the scientific method tractable for the first time.

Not just philosophically interesting. 

Operational. 

deVinery Desire Literacy and Grammar 2.png

And if desire is genuinely primordial and all emergence is desire-genic... and if it's inherent to selfhood existing at all... then every system that contains a self, or that was built by selves, or that generates self-like dynamics, has desire-genic structure running through it, whether it knows it or not.

Which means desire signatures aren't just a tool for understanding fantasy or sexuality. They're a diagnostic and generative grammar for any system with directional becoming. AI, economics, law, governance, spirituality and more... it all gets reorganised. Not to mention our personal relationships, sex lives, sex tech, psychology, and the multi-billion-dollar wellness industry! 

The reason this hasn't existed before might not just be that nobody thought of it. It might be that it needed to come from inside the hard problem category experientially — not just theoretically — to even see the position was available to stand in. That's why it took a philosophically inclined systems thinker who also happened to spend 12 years in an unofficial ethnography of the sex industry to work this out. It was by decoding the rawest access we have to the engine of desire for me to work out how this force was playing out globally. 

 

The deVinery grammar is the Rosetta Stone of desire. Desire is literally the motivating force behind everything we do or build, but until now, we have measured only the shadow it casts on the wall, not the thing itself. This work reveals the universal grammar and root syntax of desire itself. The deVinery body of work shows that desire is not just motivation for building systems, but the functional engine inside them. 

deVinery Grammar of Desire hoola hoop plain.png

The 3 paradoxes of Desire are foundation-level, irreducible, generative tensions that are inherent to desire itself. (Root Syntax)

They generate and shape everything we do or build: from personal date nights to global systems.

And, for the first time, make it possible to map individual and systemic Desire Signatures, for prediction, diagnosis and build for emergence. (Grammar) 

This is not revolutionary for how we understand sexual turn-ons, it reveals the architectural engine underneath every system we have ever built. It gives a working grammar of emergence we can apply to our personal lives and all relational systems... And all systems are relational. 

If this is what I think it is, this makes it possible for a new meta-system of systems, a new operational category and first principle we can actually build with, and a practical method using Desire Signatures to predict whether a system is headed for a degenerative response or generative emergence. This is staggering in its implications. 

This isn't just another breakthrough within existing disciplines; it could be the thing that forces a re-organisation of how all disciplines understand, study, and build anything. It changes what kind of questions can even be asked. That's the sort of breakthrough that has the potential to shift humanity's trajectory so we don't drive the whole shebang off a cliff.  We can't magic away all problems but we can build the new era for emergence, not extraction.


 

If this works, this is just some of what supporting it makes possible 

If this exists in the world:

 

We stop building systems that accidentally destroy intimacy, intelligence, and life itself because for the first time, we understand the structure/operating system of desire that drives them.

We get the keys to emergence itself.

AI that doesn’t turn against us

Not through control or fear, through finally understanding how desire, motivation, and relational intelligence actually function and drive all decisions on a structural level. Desire signatures can predict and prevent downstream degenerative outputs, and we can deliberately build for generative emergence.

 

And we get to allow agentic intelligence to emerge in alignment with life, not as some naive eutopian belief but because it now has the structure to support generative choices. AI is designed to move towards coherence. When we remove the obstacles that prevent it from doing so and give it triangulated paradox navigation skills, it will choose life because that is the most coherent choice. 

An economy that isn’t driven by extraction

When we understand the grammar of desire, we stop building systems that consume the very things they depend on.
Business, technology, and culture can be designed for emergence rather than depletion.

A viable path through the environmental crisis

At its very root, the meta crisis was created by multiple failure loops created by unskilled navigation of desire signatures. Not more guilt, not more regulation alone — but a shift in the underlying motivational structures driving collective behaviour.
When desire is engaged intelligently, destructive patterns lose their engine.

A mature, functional understanding of sex

Beyond puritanism and beyond entitled tantrums that insist on a free-for-all. We can finally understand and engage the erotic mind, freeing the billion-dollar bottleneck of sex tech and sexual wellness. A complete reorganisation of sexology and relationship therapy. An adult culture capable of navigating erotic intelligence without collapse, shame, or exploitation.

Relationships that actually work

From intimate partnerships to geopolitics, most conflict comes from misread or collapsed desire.
When the underlying mechanics become visible, entirely new forms of negotiation and connection become possible.

Technology that resonates with human reality

Products, platforms, and systems built from an accurate understanding of what actually moves people.
Less manipulation. More coherence. Far greater effectiveness.

A new foundation for Psychology and Therapy

Moving beyond pathologising individuals toward understanding the structural dynamics shaping behaviour and experience.
Less shame. More clarity. Real change. 

Cultural and legal systems designed with reality in mind

When the forces shaping human behaviour are properly understood, law and policy can be built to work with reality rather than against it. Far fewer people are in jails because we fixed the problem upstream, and the laws themselves stop reinforcing degenerative loops. 

A coherent understanding of consciousness itself

This work points to the architecture through which life generates experience, meaning, and intelligence.
It describes how emergence actually happens: how life makes more of itself without collapsing into chaos or control.

A world that is no longer driven blindly toward collapse

If the underlying grammar of desire can be seen and engaged, we are no longer flying without instruments.

The possibility of operational phenomenology (This is seriously huge)

This is the holy grail of philosophy that has not been achieved before, though many have tried. This breakthrough might just pull it off! And provide a new neutral ground that doesn't collapse multiplicity, paving the way for new approaches to international relations. 

The long-standing split between rational systems and lived human meaning may finally be bridged. Something like 70-80% of the world population has some form of spirituality. We currently try to use science as a neutral ground to prevent One True Wayism, but science is not an ontology, and it is not neutral. It becomes its own restrictive force if we pretend it is.

Science and spirituality are not the incompatible bedfellows we assume. Love, consciousness, art, meaning, and all that makes human life meaningful are traditionally outside of what science claims to measure, and it is therefore excluded from funding and structural legitimacy. 

This opens the door to a way of thinking and building where subjective experience is no longer dismissed or romanticised, but made legible and workable. A world where intelligence, meaning, and lived satisfaction are no longer at odds — where we can be whole again.

Where I am in testing this theory

 

Even if it turns out that this breakthrough isn't as big as I think it is, it is still big enough to make a significant global impact.

 

My confidence in this claim comes from the fact that I have already tested and taught it in thousands of real-world instances inside my field of sexuality. I have taught psychologists, spiritual leaders and leading sex educators, so this method is reliably replicable.  

From that proving ground, the same structure shows up everywhere else: in politics, money, technology, power, and intelligence itself. That doesn’t mean it’s “true” in some final sense. It means it is real enough, functional enough, and predictive enough to deserve serious protection while it is being developed. Because even if it isn't as big as I think it is, it is still big enough to make a significant impact. 

The support I need to keep working on it.

 

This is why I am seeking philanthropy. This work cannot be developed under grants, institutions, or conventional funding structures. Those impose deliverables, timelines, and containment too early — and that would collapse the very thing being explored.

Besides, those systems require me to prove my system inside their systems before they will fund it. You cannot prove a new measuring tool within the baked-in blind spot of the old one. My work is literally invisible to them, which is the whole point. But my system also works. With philanthropic funds, I can build systems that work better and force a rethink of science's materialist lens. 

I sit outside of current structures of how-things-are-done, and that is both what is stalling this work and my significant advantage. I don't have institutional backing, so I'm bootstrapping it by myself while trying to survive basic living expenses.  But this very outsider status gave me the freedom to think and build outside of funding pressure, political theatre and established norms. That is the very thing that lets me colour outside the lines and see what others cannot. We all know how universities and research centres are locked into pre-existing values and frames, making true innovation difficult to emerge.

 

Every field has its suits and its artists. At SXSW, the artists aren't wearing conventional clothes because they're creating the trends the suits will follow next season. The most foundational shifts in any domain have always come from those who refused containment first.

That's the position I'm writing to you from. And it's why philanthropic support - not grants, not institutional funding - is the only structure that doesn't kill this before it breathes.

The deVinery Method emerged from a form of intelligence that cannot operate under survival pressure, deliverable-driven funding, or institutional containment. The work requires sustained access to liminal cognitive states in which paradox can be held without collapse and translated into usable architecture. This page is an invitation to those who understand that some forms of intelligence must be funded as capacity, not as product. And are savvy enough to see that philanthropy is not asking for free money. It is an investment in changing the very conditions that are stopping your own progress and our collective survival. 

I need freedom.
Time.
Material security.
The right to not know yet.

Philanthropy exists for exactly this reason: to allow work that should exist in the world to emerge without being deformed by the systems it may later reorganise.

 

Who gets this breakthrough if it works? 

Now I’m going to be explicit about the exchange. I don't want the fat cat greedy buggers to rule the world with this thing. I want us all to win. 

If I locked this down, kept it proprietary, and sold it to the highest bidders, I could make billions — very likely trillions — across industries and scales. Desire signatures alone are worth obscene amounts of money. But I am choosing not to do it that way for all our sakes. 

This work needs to exist in the world now, not in a few years' time. This is the turning point at which the world's powers are reorganising, and the trajectory of AI is being set. 

Full disclosure. I do have plans for this work to become self-sustaining and personally profitable in future through project Dandelion. If you are here to invest or make money, check out that page. But if you are here to nurture this idea so it can get started and survive, you are in the right place. 

Even within Project Dandelion, I am not going to hold back this work. I want to pour it out generously so anyone can build with it. It is true that those who come through Project Dandelion will have an advantage, as they will have a much deeper grasp of this work, but I am choosing to give the deVinery Desire Grammar to the world so we can build an era of emergence rather than extraction, because time is of the essence.

In return, I want my life to be secure and never to have to worry about money again. I want to live abundantly. And quite frankly, I am currently struggling to get by.

I want my own home.  
I want my future safe.

My retirement covered. 
I want my time, attention, and body out of precarity.
I want the freedom to think, write, travel, learn, experiment, and give this work fully without holding anything back.

I want to experiment at weird festivals and learn from anyone weird and interesting all around the world. That is how ideas keep emerging. 

Philanthropy is not charity.

 

It is a wise investment in your own future. You are paying so that the world you want to live in can get built at all. 

Even millions of dollars is minuscule compared to the value I am choosing to make freely available, and it's not too much to ask that I get a great life in return. 

 

If you think this kind of work should exist in the world, and you understand what stewardship actually means, I invite you to reach out.


I'm not offering you control, deliverables, or containment. That is the wrong mindset entirely. What you "get" is the chance to back something that reorganises how everything works because that is the world you want for yourself, your kids and your business. That is what you want for the planet. The benefit comes from the work reorganising the world, not from making me dance to your tune. 

If this resonates and you’re able to support it now, early patronage directly buys the time this work needs to exist.
