I am Carlos Dagorret. Director of Information Technology Services at the Faculty of Economics (UNRC). Programmer, SysAdmin, and consultant in infrastructure, networks, automation, and complex systems.

This site serves as a technical-humanist archive on technology, organization, human behavior, and invisible infrastructure. It grew out of a concern: understanding how technology, organization, science, and society reshape one another.

I am not interested in technology as fashion, nor as rhetorical decoration. I am interested in it as a system: as infrastructure, as a tool, as a language, and as a way of ordering reality.

A technical idea without theory is fragile. A router without VLANs is not really a router. A queueing system without queueing theory is not really a queueing system. Automation without organizational understanding may simply become a faster way of producing disorder.

A technical-humanist perspective

Technology is not separate from the human world. We are social organisms, products of biological and cultural evolution, trying to build rational systems out of deeply imperfect materials: anxiety, desire, fear, cooperation, memory, power, and conflict.

That is why I am interested in looking at infrastructure through society, and at society through infrastructure.

Rigor and identity

This space seeks to build rigor. Not as solemnity, but as an effort to explain things better. The ideas here may change, be corrected, and evolve. They are not meant to be born closed. They are meant to remain recorded so they can be discussed, expanded, revised, or abandoned.

Systems and subsystems

I am a positivist as long as facts allow reality to be ordered. I am dialectical as long as contradiction provides a better explanation of the movement of a system. What matters is not defending a label, but finding the framework that helps us understand the phenomenon: sometimes the whole system, sometimes a subsystem, sometimes only a relationship between parts.

What this archive is for

This site is not intended to be a news feed. It is meant to be a technical-humanist archive: a place to think about infrastructure, administration, science, mathematics, education, artificial intelligence, organization, and human behavior.

A space for developing a line of thought of my own, with doubts, references, maps, essays, and notebooks.
