::: dropcap
A personal website is not a publication. It is a position. A publication presents work
finished and sealed; a position is something you inhabit, argue from, and occasionally
in a finalized, immutable state, and carries with it some sort of declaration - "this is my most polished and prized work!";
a position is something you inhabit, argue from, and occasionally
revise in public. Every design decision on this site — the typeface, the build system,
the absence of tracking, the presence of confidence scores — encodes a value. This page
explains those values, and why they took the form they did.

What follows is a colophon in the old sense: a printer's note at the end of the book
recording how it was made, who made it, and with what. The difference is that here the
printer and the author are the same person, and the process of making is itself a form
of argument.
What follows is a colophon in the grand old sense: a printer's note at the end of the book,
recording how it was made, who made it, etc. The difference: here, the
printer and the author are the same person, and the process of making is itself not only *a* form
of argument, but *the only* form of argument permitted.

## Typography

[TODO: Spectral as body typeface. Open with the observation the reader is already
inside — they are reading Spectral right now. History: Production Type, 2017, designed
for screen. Why a humanist serif rather than a geometric or transitional. The optical
size range and why it matters at small sizes.]
You are reading this sentence in SPECTRAL, which is not only a font with particular personal importance to me, but also an exceedingly pleasing font to read.

<div class="hp-name">Levi Neuwirth</div>
For as long as I can remember, I have believed that the deepest understanding comes from the insatiable urge to create something new in response to what you have encountered. I see no boundary on the forms such a response may take. Encountering a system invokes the urge to master and reshape it; hearing a masterpiece invokes the urge to write a symphony; finishing a novel becomes an unanswered question about that strange, irreplaceable power of fiction. This restless inquiry — consuming and creating in the same breath — is at the core of who I am.
You have found the working library of a mind that takes that spirit seriously. Here live research papers and living essays, compositions and scores, poetry and prose, and the countless smaller investigations that refuse to fit neatly into any one category. The documents here are far from immutable; they grow, are revised, accumulate footnotes and second thoughts. I welcome you to all of it.
This website is *not* an academic homepage, nor a blog, nor a portfolio — though it borrows from each. It is something I built because no existing format could hold what I wanted to make. I carry a copy of *The Brothers Karamazov* everywhere; I compose symphonies and concerti for orchestras; I study computation and mathematics; I am about to begin my graduate work in computer science. These facts coexist in one life, and this is the place where they coexist on one shelf. *Te accipio, hospes benignus.*
