Selina Stenberg, Merkabit, and how this came to be.
A short biography, the principles the work runs on, the timeline, and how to get in touch.
Selina Stenberg.
Selina is the founder of Merkabit. She is a long-form contemplative practitioner and the author of the forthcoming book Scaling Buddha. She has no formal training in physics or mathematics, but somehow she could read the geometry. She lives north of Oslo, Norway.
The framework that this site documents grew from a year of contemplative practice, structured dialogue with Claude (Anthropic), and hardware verification work on IBM Quantum machines. A base paper and thirty-six companion papers — including the capstone — now span the framework's full breadth, from the Standard Model to gravity, the cosmological constant, black holes, the Riemann zeros, and the matter-antimatter asymmetry.
She is open for collaboration with those who are drawn to this work.
Eight moments.
A condensed origin. The full account, with surrounding prose, lives on the Journey origin page.
Four operating principles.
Contemplative depth + frontier rigour, no separation.
The framework was produced from inside contemplative practice and outside academia. Neither register is reduced to the other.
Geometry over metaphor.
Where a metaphor would be honest enough, a diagram is built instead. Geometry is the medium because geometry is the meaning.
Falsifiable, with named consequences.
Every claim of substance is committed to a prediction with named conditions for failure. Three predictions have already crossed the threshold to confirmation.
Small surface, deep field.
The public surface is intentionally small — a website, a book, a few engagements. The depth lives behind it. It scales by going further in, not further out.
