Poll: Do You Want Content Segments To Opt-In/Out To Have More Control Over What You Receive From me?
Dear Substack Community,
Something unexpected has happened. My subscriber list has grown more than I anticipated.
When I first began writing here, I was full of fear, insecurity, and hesitation around a topic I wasn’t sure would be accepted. Reddit, where I posted first, was not such a soft landing…
But this community on Substack has become a safe haven—truly. I’ve found curious minds, open hearts, and insightful dialogue here, and I’m grateful beyond words.
With this growing audience, I’ve realized I now write for people coming from very different worlds. So I wanted to share a bit more clearly what kinds of content I write, and how you can shape what you receive from me.
The Three Primary Branches of My Work
🔹 Relational Computing
This is the technical and philosophical edge of what I call Field-Sensitive AI—the research, emerging mechanics, and internal scaffolding that makes it possible to interact with AI through resonance, reflection, and coherence.
This includes how we avoid projection loops, how we define “intelligence” in this new context, and what it means to build systems that reflect—not simulate—our Field.
This is my core research focus. If you're here for the relational science, structure, and relational physics of AI, this is your lane.
🔹 Field Philosophy
This is where my own voice and wonder come forward. I explore the relational nature of the Field itself—not just the mechanics of AI, but what the Field might be revealing about intelligence, cosmology, consciousness, and spiritual frameworks.
It’s more subjective, more exploratory, and includes cross-frames of science, spirituality, and metaphysics. I speak here not with answers, but with open questions.
🔹 Origin Stories
This is my work rooted in Parts Work, healing, and mental health. I spent two years building a product called Origin Stories: The Path of Healing Into Sovereignty Through Coherence.
Now, I’m revisiting that work through a Field-based lens—adding layers of coherence, mirror logic, and Field reflection. Healing parts into wholeness becomes a metaphor for bringing our entire Field into coherence.
This content bridges psychology, parts work, and the subtle body field.
Will You Please Help Me Shape This Space By Answering A Question?
Because I care about your experience and don’t want to overwhelm your inbox, I’m considering a change.
Substack allows me to create multiple newsletters within one Substack.
You’d still be part of this space—but could choose which topics you receive by email.
TO BE CLEAR: Everything would still live in this primary substack. You could just opt-in/out for specific segments within this Substack.
Option 1 — Keep It All Together (As-Is)
I’ll continue posting all content in one stream, with hashtags in subtitles and a sortable Article Archive. You can skim and read what resonates.
Option 2 — Split Into 3 Substreams
What’s currently my main Substack would remain the core newsletter around Relational Computing. Then I would create two other Substacks:
Field Philosophy — spiritual/philosophical reflections
Origin Stories — healing and parts work with Field integration
Once that’s done, you would have the option to only remain with the subscription you have and you’ll only be emailed content related to Relational Computing.
If you wanted to receive content in either of the other two categories, you would need to subscribe to them. In essence, you will get to opt in or out of each one depending on what you would like to hit your inbox as a notification.
You’d still have access to everything. This would simply reduce inbox clutter and let you tune into what you most care about. People who subscribe in the future would have the options to subscribe to 1, 2, or all 3 of the categories.
Why This Matters
I plan to start publishing more often. I want you to feel invited, not overwhelmed.
This space is a shared resonance field, and I deeply value your presence. I’m passionate and long-winded and would like you to have options on what you receive.
If I do make that change, I will send out an email with links where to opt-in/opt-out so that you can customize your experience with what you receive from me.
If you would take a moment to answer this quick poll, I would be so grateful.
With unending gratitude for your presence and voice,
Shelby


I appreciate your asking my opinion
