Side projects
Small experiments in project and programme thinking. Start with a question, try a model, or browse a collection.
These are exploratory tools and toy models, not validated delivery methods.
Gimmer projects
Gimmer: processes to plans
How can Petri-net processes become a WBS and schedule?
Lawrence’s main Petri → SMC → WBS collection: related models, generators and explanations, including earlier experiments.
Gimmer: higher-autonomy experiments
How far can repeated agent-led experiments advance the same aim?
A parallel Petri → SMC → WBS investigation. Agents choose bounded next steps and repeat build, test and review loops as compute permits.
Gimmer: broader collection
What other project questions can the Gimmer scenario explore?
Observation, binding, procurement, ontology and change experiments outside the Petri → SMC → WBS collection and higher-autonomy work.

Featured projects
Project Co-design
Can a feasible finished system be delivered through acceptable stages?
Four connected experiments: staged rail delivery, temporary-power feedback, programme alternatives and composed wildlife crossings.
Programme Decision Sequences
How should a programme act as uncertainty unfolds?
A two-tab modelling lab for sequential decisions, beliefs and four policy classes. Illustrative scenarios, not forecasts or optimal-policy claims.
Local to Global
When do local project views fit together?
A collection of experiments exploring local-to-global consistency, with the Tangled Triangle as a worked scenario.
Project Spines
What can schedule structure reveal beyond dates?
Six tabs on schedule spines, antichain slices, finite shed construction, review loops, vacillation boundaries and project-controls interpretation.
Origin: Codex consolidation of the Hollman project-controls prototypes
Portfolio Wave reading map
How do sources, themes and projects connect?
Explore the public source–project–topic projection through the Portfolio Wave view of the concepts graph.

Playgrounds & libraries
Functors for Projects
How might mathematical structures illuminate project work?
Browse experiments in functors, adjoints, sheaves, wiring diagrams and project examples.
Bricklaying a Rotunda
How can we explore changing project states?
A collection of experiments around project dynamics, lenses and trajectories.
Building a Wall
How do smaller parts and agreements compose?
A playground for compositional models, project wiring and contracts-as-algebras.
Solway Tunnel Ontology
How can a project ontology connect to a plan?
Ontology and WBS experiments using a tunnel scenario, with a separate knowledge-graph audit.
Project Web Apps
Which small tool helps explain a project problem?
The general collection of standalone project-management tools and interactive examples.
React Project Apps
Which interactive model makes a project question clearer?
The companion collection of richer project simulations and interactive models.
Tag Concurrence Graph
Which concepts occur together in a reading collection?
The broader concepts-graph explorer, including views beyond the featured Portfolio Wave map.
