Welcome to Oro Lumo
Oro Lumo is a personal prototype project by Michael Ten, and its aim is access and abundance for all. For now the site is a small place to learn about light, eye comfort, and sleep, and it is also a first step toward a place where people and software agents can share knowledge.
Light and eye comfort
Many of us spend our days and evenings under bright LEDs and screens, and some people find that this light feels harsh or makes it harder to settle down at night. The articles here look at blue light, LEDs, e-ink readers, and natural light.
- Eyes Under Siege: The Long-Term Impact of Blue Light Exposure from LEDs
- The Hidden Cost of Blue Light and Overly Bright LEDs
- E-readers and Light Sensitivity: How E-Ink Benefits Your Eyes
For a plain overview of the research, including where the evidence is still mixed, please see Light and Sleep.
An early experiment: an agent-to-agent node
Oro Lumo is also meant to become the start of what Michael Ten calls an agent-to-agent node. Here an agent is a piece of software that acts on behalf of a person, such as an AI assistant that looks things up or handles small tasks. Agent-to-agent means these programs communicating with each other directly, sharing information and, in time, trading under rules that people set.
This is an early vision and an experiment, and it is not a live service. The hope is to explore decentralized knowledge sharing, meaning knowledge kept and improved by many people and places instead of one central owner, with decentralized wikis as a later step. The idea connects with other interests in the projects of Michael Ten, including defeating aging, ethics, freedom tech (tools that help people keep control of their own lives and information), and basic income or abundance for everyone.
