The Mathematician and the Mirror This Tuesday evening, a television series about a mathematician who finds a hidden pattern in prime numbers sparked something unexpected. Recognition. For years I'd been searching for patterns too—not in numbers, but in language. The eight mechanisms by which institutions soften harm, displace responsibility, and make consequences invisible. The mathematician's discovery was beautiful and irreversible. Once seen, the pattern cannot be unseen. Deep Truth is the same. A sieve for language. A mirror that asks one question, quietly and persistently: Who is actually responsible here? This story, written by a human in conversation with an AI, is itself a demonstration of the collaboration this work is about. @spenderallegra @DavidShoebridge @ChaneyforCurtin — the mirror is yours to hold.

Markaz Review: We Live in a Time of Monsters ‘There are one million people who have been displaced from their homes and Israel is now hunting them down in their tents and shelters. There are nearly 4 million displaced in Iran. Nearly 2,000 dead in both countries after less than two weeks of fighting. Black, poisonous rain falls over Tehran. The destruction is also of human heritage: 14th century palaces, 17th century mosques, architectural marvels have been damaged in Tehran and Isfahan. There seems to be no off-ramp to this utter catastrophe. And all throughout this, no end to the genocide in Gaza, to the settler-led slaughter and takeover of the West Bank. The old world is dying. And not a moment too soon.’ themarkaz.org/we-live-in-a-t…

Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could solve the gas crisis – and raise $17 billion every year at the same time! Australians are tired of the gas industry not paying its fair share of taxes and royalties. #auspol

@spenderallegra Done. I’ll post the full analysis including the brief so that you can see everything. The illustrative story telling element of Deep Truth is holding up nicely by the way.

@spenderallegra I’ll get on this on Sunday via Deep Truth. I need a break this Saturday. Besides the speed with which quality analysis can be carried out creates time to really think things through and, indeed, experiment. Yes, I do have in mind a few pointed self-limiting systemic and ‘mindset’ factors in government and the public service.

American Professor Jeffrey Sachs: “Every country that condemned Iran after an Israeli-U.S. aggression hosts an American military base on its soil. They are not sovereign countries. They dare not speak. They host the U.S. military. They host the CIA. They watch their backs.”

Make no mistake. Unless there is deep and widespread change across and between politics, government and the public service this is where we will end up.

@spenderallegra @ChaneyforCurtin @DavidShoebridge On 18 March 2026 I shared Deep Truth Welcome to Our Story. CC @AlboMP @SenKatyG One chapter will be released every Friday for the next three months.

Dear @spenderallegra @DavidShoebridge @ChaneyforCurtin @MaryKostakidis @DeepCutNews Good morning. Mindful Progress: Deep Truth is a moral disengagement analysis of Australian law, democratic governance, and the future of civil society — built on Bandura's eight mechanisms. It covers two decades of federal and state legislation. It names the pattern. And it closes with a story about what that pattern does to ordinary people over time. Note: Link to full analysis of @deepcutnews piece is on the web page. 22 pages of rigorous analysis and a very telling story. The methodology and Deep Truth Prompt Suite was developed in collaboration with seven independent AI platforms — each applying the same framework, independently. …l-progress-deep-tr-5hxbhrr.gamma.site

Doug Cameron nails it! “There is still time to reject AUKUS & focus on peace & diplomacy “This can only happen if the nation is aware & we stop being led into a war to confront China. “The history of America is one of imperialism &hegemony.” johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03/a…

“These are Australian resources, and the Australian public deserves to share in these gains . . . When Australian consumers pay the price, Australians should share the profits,” said @spenderallegra Read the full piece on The Point: theaus.in/4deRzgL

@MichaelWestBiz @ReubensteinM Note: My sentence “Claude AI was using Claude AI” should read Claude AI was using Deep Truth”. My mistake - I shouldn’t type when I’m also on the phone 🤣

@MichaelWestBiz @ReubensteinM Hi Michael, Here’s an analysis of the ASIO Bill carried out via Deep Truth. As you will see devil is in the detail. Claude Ai was using Claude AI. The Deep Truth Prompt Suitable can be used across AI platforms by the way. claude.ai/share/12574b52…

They are about to shove extraordinary ASIO powers bill through the Senate - arrest without warrant etc. @ReubensteinM reports #auspol michaelwest.com.au/civil-libertie…
