Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

For his conspiracy theory to work, you have to believe the Deep State is a hyper-genius cartel on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but completely incompetent on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

In simple terms: the mass-shooting forecast was the beginning. Informational Curvature is what I discovered underneath it. The Einstein–Ross framework is where that discovery expands into a larger theory of reality, intelligence, and prevention. #QuantumFieldEquation #InformationalCurvature

The Einstein–Ross Quantum Field Equation is the broader theoretical expression of that discovery: an original informational-curvature extension of Einstein’s field equations, designed to explore how information, causality, matter, energy, and prediction may be connected at a deeper level.

It is about identifying where the social-information field is bending toward danger, so communities, officials, researchers, and prevention networks can act earlier.

The Lewiston Institute applies Informational Curvature to public safety by measuring where risk is concentrating before tragedy fully emerges. This is not about predicting fate or targeting individuals.

Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
They emerge from distorted information environments — patterns of trauma, threat signals, instability, grievance, location history, social pressure, and institutional blind spots. I call this distortion Informational Curvature.

My original research began with one urgent question: can we detect the conditions that precede mass shootings before they happen? Through that work, I discovered that these tragedies are not isolated events.

The Susan Collins' Guide to Trump 2.0. "He's learned his lesson." "He'll be more cautious." "I'm concerned." "Secretary Noem promised it's over." How’s that working out for Maine?

This means that the agent was involved in one of two previous incidents in the Chicago area during "Operation Midway Blitz" that DHS also classified as a vehicle-as-a-weapon incident, involving either Marimar Martinez, who was injured (lived), or Silverio Villegas González, who was killed.

Did anyone else catch this part? Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the actions of the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good (a U.S. citizen) in Minneapolis and also said the agent involved was also involved in a prior incident where a vehicle was used as a weapon.

The Supreme Court just turned away Alex Jones' effort to block the $1.5 billion judgment, allowing The Onion to turn Infowars into a parody of itself. The man who spent years calling tragedy fake news might soon have his website run by actual satirists. What a shame. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

So, if data can reveal these hidden patterns, what responsibility do we have to act on them before the next tragedy occurs?
010
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
Even with limited data, the model has achieved measurable accuracy, identifying high-risk periods months in advance. It proves that what we’ve long considered “rare” may simply be what we haven’t yet learned to recognize.
110
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
At the Lewiston Institute, we took that challenge seriously. Our system, SentinelForecast360, uses patterns found in environmental and temporal factors — not human profiling — to forecast when and where mass shootings are most likely to occur.
110
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
The National Institute of Justice has long noted that the real challenge isn’t a lack of desire to understand these tragedies, but a lack of consistent data. Explaining, “The research community must develop a strategy to source, code, check, and analyze the data surrounding rare violent incidents.”

Experts describe mass shootings as “rare events” — the kind that data scientists call outliers, and policymakers label “impossible to foresee.”

Closing Question: If predictive modeling can be designed to protect lives without bias, shouldn’t we explore how to use it responsibly?
010
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
By removing demographic and socioeconomic variables, SentinelForecast360 avoids the pitfalls of biased policing models and instead provides ethical, data-driven foresight designed to protect communities, not profile them.
110
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
It uses objective, non-identifiable data such as environmental conditions, temporal patterns, and historical incidents to identify when and where risk is statistically highest.
110
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
At the Lewiston Institute, our approach is different. SentinelForecast360 focuses exclusively on forecasting mass shooting risks—not individual behavior.

The Brennan Center for Justice cautions that many predictive policing algorithms amplify existing systemic biases, noting that these systems “use algorithms to analyze massive amounts of information in order to predict and help prevent potential future crimes.”

You’re absolutely right that predictive technology can be dangerous in the wrong hands. But when built ethically and transparently, it can also empower communities and policymakers to act before lives are lost — without violating anyone’s civil rights.
130
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Unlike mass surveillance systems or “pre-crime” units, our model doesn’t monitor individuals or use personal data. It analyzes environmental and behavioral patterns drawn from open-source incident data to identify where conditions for violence are statistically forming — not who will commit it.
130
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
You raise a valid point — much of today’s AI is profit-driven, designed to serve corporate or political interests rather than public safety or human rights. That’s one of the biggest reasons I built SentinelForecast360 independently.

6️⃣ Closing Question: If AI can detect patterns that signal risk before tragedy strikes, should we not use it to save lives?
010
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
5️⃣ This shows that while AI may not “think” like humans, it can reveal patterns invisible to us, giving communities and law enforcement actionable foresight.

Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
4️⃣ In 2025, SentinelForecast360 identified April and August as the highest-risk months for mass shootings in Los Angeles—and eight tracked incidents confirmed the forecast, achieving 76 percent predictive accuracy.
110
Artisan Ross @lewiston.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
3️⃣ At the Lewiston Institute, we challenged that assumption. Our AI system, SentinelForecast360, doesn’t try to predict human intent—it analyzes historical incidents, environmental conditions, and temporal patterns to forecast risk.

Strip away left vs. right politics, and mass shootings come down to two undeniable truths: 1) A person choosing homicidal violence. 2) Easy access to guns. Unless we face these realities and work together to create effective solutions, the killing won’t stop. #EndGunViolence
