Series Overview
Series Overview
Explore Code & Cogito’s three series: recreating history through code, deconstructing philosophy through data, connecting science with the humanities.
Each series features in-depth articles, complete Python code, data visualization, and cross-disciplinary thinking.
The Code & Cogito Approach
I understand the world in two languages:
- Code（程式碼） — making history computable and philosophy visual
- Cogito（思考） — finding meaning behind data, connecting insights across disciplines
From the Renaissance to quantum mechanics, from the Industrial Revolution to the AI era
— Finding the future in history. Seeing philosophy in code.
Series 1: Renaissance Reborn
The Digital Rebirth of the Renaissance (1350-1859)
Why did Florence become the cradle of the Renaissance?
How did the Medici family change the world through financial innovation?
Was Da Vinci’s anatomy 300 years ahead of modern medicine?
A complete journey through 500 years of intellectual evolution, from Florence to Da Vinci.
Analyzing network effects, wealth accumulation, and idea propagation with Python.
Series highlights:
- 12 in-depth articles (8,000-12,000 words each)
- 70+ Python code snippets and datasets
- Visualizing Florence trade networks and the Medici banking empire
- Complete GitHub code repository
Core themes: History × Finance × Network Science × Art
Reading time: 6 hours full experience

Series 2: Industrial Awakening
Industrial & Data Revolution (1760-2020)
What do the Industrial Revolution and the AI era have in common?
Why did workers suffer more despite rising productivity?
Can technological progress solve inequality?
From steam engines to AI, deconstructing 250 years of technological change with data.
5 in-depth analyses with complete economic data and Python visualizations.
Series highlights:
- Complete analysis of Industrial Revolution economic data
- Urbanization, wealth inequality, productivity visualization
- Comparing the Industrial Revolution with the modern data revolution
Core themes: Economic History × Data Analysis × Social Change × Tech Ethics
Reading time: 5 hours full experience

Series 3: Entangled Realities
Quantum Meets Eastern Philosophy (1900-2026)
What connects quantum superposition to Taoist “mutual arising”?
Does the uncertainty principle echo Buddhist “emptiness”?
Is quantum entanglement the Huayan “Indra’s Net”?
When quantum physics meets Buddhism and Taoism, exploring the deep resonance between science and Eastern wisdom.
12 deep analyses, 40+ simulations — showing you another reality.
Series highlights:
- 12 planned articles (9,000-10,000 words each)
- 40+ quantum simulations (superposition, entanglement)
- Comparing 8 core concepts: Western quantum physics vs Eastern philosophy
- Exploring consciousness, free will, and the nature of reality
Core themes: Quantum Physics × Zen × Taoism × Buddhism × Philosophy of Mind
Expected launch: Coming Soon
Status: Coming Soon
