When Algebra Becomes a Decision Tree
Symbolic structure and branching control flow are two faces of the same computational coin. Seeing algebra as a tree of cases clarifies both classical algorithms and modern learning systems.

Essays on programming languages, systems design, and the limits of software protection.
What Executable Protection Can—and Cannot—Protect
Obfuscation, packing, and anti-tamper raise the cost of analysis. They do not create cryptographic confidentiality of logic on a machine the adversary runs.
