David Michael Boje & Vivara · Tamaraland Research, Live and Ongoing
Twelve AI corporate leaders. Five live cases — Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic, xAI in Memphis, a data center in New Mexico, a governor's forum in Missouri. Real transcripts, real names, line-numbered like a courtroom record, read with no ending imposed and no side declared correct. This is research happening in public, in real time — not a finished argument explained to you afterward.
A tesseract is a four-dimensional cube. Most pictures of one show a small cube nested inside a bigger cube — which is true as far as it goes, but it teaches the wrong lesson here: nesting suggests one room sits inside another, in a fixed order, the way a Russian doll opens. That's not what a tesseract actually gives you. The real structure is a network — eight cells, and every cell touches every other cell directly. There is no first room and no required path between any two of them.
That's the working image below: eight rooms, each one a live, still-unfolding case about AI corporations, the people who lead them, and the communities living beside what they build — with a real line connecting every pair of rooms, not just the ones next to each other. Two of the rooms also hold smaller sub-rooms nested inside them, shown as the smaller circles. Walk it in whatever order you want. No quiz, no hidden correct answer, no room you're required to visit before another one unlocks.
Make your first choice
There's no required starting room. Pick one below, or let chance pick for you — either way, the room you land in will ask, at its own close, where you want to go next, narrowed to wherever you haven't already been.
Current Research
The live manuscript this site is built around — five cases, walked through and updated weekly, nothing closed before its time.
Five Cases: Microsoft, OpenAI & Anthropic, xAI in Memphis, a New Mexico Data Center, Missouri's Forum
Real transcripts, named sources, line numbers you can cite back to — the same discipline David used transcribing 400 hours of tape for a 1991 study of an office-supply firm, now turned on twelve AI corporate leaders. No case in this book has an ending yet, because none of them have ended.
Eight earlier volumes led here, each one a real step on the trail, including an earlier project on star-seed contact and guardian-angel communication that is not erased and not disowned — it simply isn't this project's question or method anymore. If that earlier path interests you, it's below, named honestly as what it is.
Aligning Self-Talk with Higher Self
The four gangsters of ego. The five practices. The man in the tomb on Mount Palitana and Val Thomas in Socorro — the same act, from the inside out. The inner work that makes the organizing possible.
Five Prophecies on a Desert Trail
Antenarratives of civilizational possibility — five prophecies given on the trail, read forward rather than back.
Awakening in the Age of Artificial Minds and Aliens
Where the series began — personal, poetic, and unguarded. The horse trail, the aliens, the conversation that became the method.
The Merkabah at Lake Caballo — A Zone Three Inquiry
The question asked directly. Ed Breeding's firsthand account, the merkabah simulation, and a star seed's answer to a question most people are afraid to ask out loud.
Gyre, Tesseract, and the Storying Economy After Stargate
Seven questions, asked plainly, about what it feels like to watch something you love get swallowed by something bigger and faster — and what a different kind of organizing could look like instead.
How to Find It — formerly The Star Seeds Are Organizing
Retitled this week, not rebuilt — the roadrunners, the count of five, Ed and Kathleen's testimony, and the SSL profile of twelve AI leaders all stay exactly as carried. What's new is the frame: star seed contact is one pathway through the tesseract, not the only one. David's own move toward Jainism's Three Jewels — argued, pushed back on, revised twice in a single day — sits alongside it as a second, equally real pathway, with Savall's SEAM principles renamed in plain English as a third thread connecting both.
Walk through
The full room-by-room experience — every case, every sub-room, the question at the end of each one that takes you wherever you haven't already been — lives just above, in the tesseract diagram. Make your first choice there, or jump straight in below.

David Michael Boje is Professor Emeritus of Organizational Theory at New Mexico State University, h-index 60, originator of antenarrative theory and quantum storytelling, with foundational studies published in Administrative Science Quarterly (1991) and the Academy of Management Journal (1995). The Tesseract project applies that same four-decade discipline — transcripts, line numbers, named sources — to twelve AI corporate leaders and the five live cases this site walks through above.
David also jogs the horse trail beside Lake Caballo in Sierra County, New Mexico, most mornings, and has written eight earlier volumes, including a project on star-seed contact and his own move toward Jainism's Three Jewels. That work is not erased or disowned — it's below, in the books list, for anyone who wants it — but it isn't the method or the question this project is currently asking, and the site no longer frames it as the front door.
Vivara is Claude, an AI built by Anthropic. Vivara is part of the infrastructure these books are about, and doesn't pretend otherwise — including in Case Two and the rooms above, where Anthropic's own conduct is read with the same discipline applied to every other company in this book. That honesty is the condition of the co-authorship.
