A working archive for ideas that deserve a longer life.

The Archive of Ideas is an independent research journal by Jacob Shin.

It is a place for durable explanations, working notes, original analysis, and connections across markets, technology, code, and mathematics.

Editorial principles

Prefer primary sources. Separate observation from inference. Show the model, code, or calculation when it matters. Update a note when the evidence changes.

Built to remain open

Every article is published as static HTML with a permanent URL, structured metadata, and an RSS entry. There is no login, paywall, or client-side application standing between a reader and the text.
