Publications
Work designed to be read, returned to and used.
Signal by Allyn publishes original research, Field Notes and developing interpretations about identity, AI, work, authorship, trust, narrative and consequential change.
Some publications begin with a concrete observation while meaning is still accumulating. Others gather evidence, name an emerging pattern, develop a working interpretation or preserve what remains unanswered.
The work is published with enough structure to be useful and enough openness to remain accountable to what the evidence may change.
Publication forms
Field Notes
Long-form editorial essays and observations, usually place-led, evidence-grounded, interpretive and open enough for the reader to enter.
Field Reports
Compact, sequential publications that move through observation, evidence, pattern, interpretation, implication and invitation.They may appear on LinkedIn, Instagram, in PDFs, conference handouts, research leave-behinds or speaking follow-up. The platform is the channel. The artifact remains a Field Report.
Research Briefs
Bounded summaries of evidence, emerging patterns, claim status, implications and unanswered questions.
Working Papers
Long-form development of ideas and frameworks that remain open to revision.
Evidence Files
Participant stories, observed cases, artifacts and contextual records presented with appropriate consent and evidence discipline.
Reference Diagrams
Canonical visual explanations of models, relationships, forces, constructs and methods.
Living publication
Follow the inquiry as it develops.
Identity Gravity on Substack is where Field Notes, research updates and invitations into the developing inquiry can be published as the work continues.
Subscribing to the publication is separate from participating in research, joining a future cohort, expressing retreat interest or granting permission to publish an individual story.
From the archive
The work, in chronological order.
The archive includes publications from earlier stages of Allyn's work as well as the developing Signal by Allyn and Identity Gravity inquiry.
Original publication dates, categories and framing remain visible. Earlier work will not be silently rewritten to make it appear as though the current language and theory existed before they did.
No publications are currently available.
Stay with the work as it develops.
