About Code & Cogito
Hi, I’m Wina.
By day, I work in ocean physics research in Taiwan — analyzing data, writing code, building models. In my spare time, I use those same tools to explore an entirely different world: the surprising connections between history, philosophy, and science.
This website is the record of that exploration.
What is Code & Cogito?
Cogito ergo sum — “I think, therefore I am.” Descartes found certainty through doubt.
Code — the most powerful thinking tool of our age.
When the two come together:
- Code — deconstructs historical phenomena with data and algorithms, revealing hidden patterns
- Cogito — asks the deeper questions through philosophical inquiry, giving data its soul
I believe that science and the humanities were never opposites — they are two languages for understanding the world.
Ongoing Series
Each series is a cross-disciplinary journey combining historical narrative, philosophical inquiry, and Python implementation:
- The Digital Renaissance — From Florence to Darwin, reconstructing 500 years of intellectual evolution through data
- Quantum Meets Eastern Philosophy — When the uncertainty principle meets Buddhist emptiness, when quantum entanglement echoes Indra’s Net
- Industrial Revolution & Data Revolution — Steam engines and cloud computing: a parallel dialogue between two transformations
Why I Do This
- Recreating historical events through code hits differently than just reading about them
- Data visualization makes abstract philosophical concepts tangible
- Cross-disciplinary collisions often spark the most unexpected insights
How did the Renaissance inspire Silicon Valley? How does quantum mechanics echo Zen Buddhism? What do the Industrial Revolution and the AI era have in common?
These questions drive my exploration, and they’ve convinced me that the beauty of knowledge lies not in the depth of each field, but in the connections between them.
