From the latin: "law of kings." I conceive of this space as one for sharing my results,
concerns, and hopes surrounding a project whose never-arriving end gives the
name to this page.
The day we recognize our freedom is the day we have each found our kingdom. A
land of kings is what we're after. And in that land, lex, law, will still mean something. I
love to anticipate the structures, limits, contours, and character of lex regium,
freedom’s law.
