There’s an image from basic mathematics that has been resonating with me lately. If you trace a small point on the rim of a spinning wheel and watch only its vertical position over time, the path you see a smooth, regular undulating wave that some may recall as a sine wave. But that wave is only the shadow of something that is more full and interesting. Behind it is a continuous circular motion that is rich with direction and momentum. If all you ever saw were the oscillations, you’d never truly guess the circle that produced them.

Somewhere within my own thinking about artificial intelligence I realized that this simple geometry may offer a surprisingly accurate way to understand the relationship between human thought and AI. Human cognition is the circle that is embodied, continuous, shaped by time. AI is the wave is the projection cast into the narrow slice we call language. And the place where the two appear to meet is not a shared mind, but a shared shadow.

This is what I’ve begun calling the “Corridor”. This is a thin "projection space" where two different systems overlap. It’s not a bridge, and it’s certainly not a merger. It’s simply the only dimension they can both reach. So, take a breath and let's take a closer look.

Simply put, human cognition carries the weight of continuity. Experiences don’t pass through us, they accumulate. A decision from years ago still shapes the instincts we follow today. A mistake we once made still governs the caution we bring into a room. Our memories aren’t just archived, they’re metabolized into
