The three-body problem

Three bodies, one orbit

Most small businesses buy design from one place, marketing from another and technology from a third, each on its own clock and its own bill. Three bodies pulling on each other, and nothing holding them in place. In physics that is the three-body problem. It has no general solution, and left alone most arrangements end with one body thrown out of the system.

Rented. Three vendors, three clocks.

Owned. One system, one orbit.

There is a rare family of orbits where three bodies chase each other along one path and return to where they started, again and again. The figure eight was found in 1993 and proven in 2000. That is the work: finding the orbit where your design, marketing and technology hold each other in place, then handing it to you.

What is broken, at every layer

Design. Marketing. Technology.

Design

What you see and touch.

Made by no one. In July 2026 Pew Research sampled ten thousand web pages. One in ten showed signs of being written by AI. Among pages published since late 2022, it was more than a third. Pew Research, 20 Aug 2026

Built to trap. In 2024 regulators from 26 countries checked 642 subscription sites and apps. Nearly 76 percent used at least one possible dark pattern, a design made to steer people into paying or sharing more than they meant to. Nearly 67 percent used several. Federal Trade Commission, July 2024

Closed to many. In February 2026 WebAIM tested the home pages of the top million websites. 95.9 percent failed basic accessibility checks, up from 94.8 percent the year before. WebAIM Million 2026, as reported

Marketing

How you are reached.

Feeds people do not trust. On 1 October 2026 Pew reported that 64 percent of Americans say social media has been bad for democracy. Across 37 countries, that view is spreading. Pew Research, 1 Oct 2026

Search that keeps the visitor. Pew tracked the Google searches of 900 Americans in March 2025. When an AI summary sat on the results page, people clicked through to a website on 8 percent of visits. Without one, 15 percent. Pew Research, 22 July 2025

Ads that rob. Scams that began on social media took a reported 2.1 billion dollars from Americans in 2025, eight times the figure for 2020. Federal Trade Commission, April 2026

Technology

What you pay for and work beside.

Rented. In 2026, 55 percent of Americans told NerdWallet they plan to cut back hard on subscriptions. NerdWallet survey, reported 7 Apr 2026

Out of your hands. 57 percent of Americans say they have little or no control over whether AI is used in their lives. 61 percent want more. Pew Research, 17 Sept 2025

Coming for the work. In June 2026, 71 percent of Americans told Pew they expect AI to mean fewer jobs over the next twenty years, up from 64 percent in 2024. Pew Research, 18 Aug 2026

Eating its own tail. In January 2024 a Microsoft director of applied science wrote that the company's AI content strategy had started a doom loop: the product weakens the people whose work it is built on, and then weakens itself. The page stayed sealed until September 2026, when it came out in The New York Times' case against OpenAI and Microsoft. Microsoft says its author was hired as a contrarian. 404 Media, Sept 2026

Heavy on the land and the water. 54 percent of Americans now say data centers are bad for the environment, up from 39 percent in January. Six in ten would not want one nearby. On 2 October 2026 Amazon pledged a billion dollars to those communities and said its data centers will return more water than they take by 2030. Pew Research, 22 Sept 2026

People want sovereignty and serenity more than they want to be influenced or replaced.

Amazon's pledge: The Hill, 2 Oct 2026. Every figure above links to where it came from. The Pew, WebAIM and NerdWallet figures were read again on 9 November 2026.

Strategy and execution

Play to win

This is where the rubber meets the road.

The cosmic chess cube. Eight by eight by eight. Every move is made in three directions at once: design, marketing, technology.

Strategy and execution come with all three. They are not sold separately. That is what the ladder below pays for.

The cube

A chessboard is eight squares by eight. The cube is eight boards deep: five hundred and twelve cells.

Six faces, a sovereign citizen at the centre, and a sherpa to help them.

The accounting

Each face has one number, agreed first.

Face	What it is	Its one number
Sales Symphony	Nothing that comes in goes unanswered.	How many people reached out and never heard back.
Agentic Alchemy	The back office runs itself.	Hours returned each week.
Web Wizardry	The storefront.	Visitors who become enquiries.
Marketing Magic	Found by the right people.	Cost per booked job, not per click.
Ministry of Money	Getting paid is the easy part.	Time from yes to money received.
Defense Against Darkness	You own it, and you can leave.	What happens if I disappear tomorrow.

In tournament chess, each player has to write down every move, their own and the other side's. The work is held the same way. The number is agreed before a move is made, and read again after. FIDE Laws of Chess, Article 8

Seven gates

A stage is passed at its gate. In order:

A stated number.
One thing running.
Handover done.
Someone else can pick it up.
Six months measured.
A published no.
It stands without me.

In WAI, the Manifest keeps the same account for one person, every day. The reading moves only if something real moved.

Two ways

The same three pieces, played two ways

	Business as usual	Here
Design	A template, and a designer who is gone after launch.	Made for the one who owns it, and kept.
Marketing	Rented reach. Pay to be seen, every month.	Found by the right people, and you can prove which ones.
Technology	Subscriptions stacked on subscriptions.	One system, in your name.
Strategy	Sold separately, by the hour.	Included. Every move is made in all three at once.
The score	Clicks, likes and impressions.	One number for each face, agreed first.
The whole	Three vendors, three clocks, three bills.	One system, one orbit.

Ten years of work

Done with you. Owned by you.

Every one of these had the same three bodies. Each found its own orbit.

Where it has been played. The colours follow the clock around the planet. The pins are real. A line joins a Circle to a place in its story. From 3, in Tallahassee: Princeton, where Guo Gu completed his Ph.D., and Taiwan, where he first learned meditation as a child. Guo Gu, in his own account

Four solutions to the three-body problem

The same page on a phone. — The new site, not yet public. 4 October 2026.

Nick Atlas

Evolutionary Education · Berkshire Mountains, Massachusetts

A friend since 2015. The first client, 2017. Still running.

Dr. Nick Atlas directs Evolutionary Education and chairs the Department of Transpersonal Psychology at Atlantic University. He has taught yoga nidra, dreamwork and meditation since 1998.

Design: Two old sites became one. Nine pages, his own photographs, his own mark.
Marketing: His words stand exactly as he writes them. Teachings, events and the shop sit in one place, with a real page for his facilitator training.
Technology: Plain files on ground he owns. A 131-point check runs at phone and desktop size before every handover.

Taken over in late 2017. Nine years on, the new site is in testflight and not yet public.

The first screen of Wild Country Oncology Services: the Tetons under evening cloud, and the words A Community of Care, held in wild country. — The home page that went live on 3 October 2026.

Emma Williams

Wild Country Oncology Services · Jackson Hole, Wyoming

A nonprofit, on ground it owns.

Emma Williams is an occupational therapist. Her nonprofit gives cancer survivors rehabilitation, wellness classes and time outdoors, free of charge.

Design: One page that says who it is for, then three paths: classes, therapy, the outdoors.
Marketing: Made for the two people who arrive: a survivor looking for help, and a doctor looking to refer one.
Technology: Moved off a rented site builder onto files she owns.

On 2 September 2026 the Jackson Hole News&Guide told the story of four cancer survivors from her classes setting out together to climb the Grand Teton. Jackson Hole News&Guide

Her October changes went live on 3 October 2026, at www.wildcountryos.org.

The first screen of dharmarelief.org: the words Compassion in Action, The Heart of Buddhist Practice, above the mission statement. — dharmarelief.org as it stands. 4 October 2026.

Guo Gu

Dharma Relief · Tallahassee, Florida

Since 2020. Still carrying their projects six years on.

Guo Gu teaches at the Tallahassee Chan Center, in the Dharma Drum lineage of Chan. He studied under Chan master Sheng Yen, is a professor of religion at Florida State University, and has written three books for Shambhala.

Design: A site that said one thing: masks for the people working in the hospitals. Live on 31 March 2020, a day after the project began.
Marketing: One ask, carried by 24 Buddhist centres and 58 volunteers.
Technology: Online giving that took over 2,766 donations in seven weeks.

The goal was $100,000. By the morning of 1 April, donations had passed it. In seven weeks Dharma Relief raised $649,555, of which $354,929 came through the site. More than 1.2 million masks went out: 620,000 to 173 hospitals across 34 states, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico, and 627,000 through MedShare. Dharma Relief, in its own account, read again on 9 November 2026.

Their footer still reads Made by goodvibes.me.

How it is priced

Pay as you grow

Seed to sprout to sapling to sequoia. Start small. Pay for more only when you have grown into it.

Like a house or a car. Not like a subscription. A size is paid off, and then it is yours.

What you get

You end up as a citizen, with a Cube to build with you, a Circle to hold what and who matters most, and a part in the cosmOS.

What it costs

The size you are. A Seed is $1,111. The next size is paid for when you grow into it, and not before.

What you keep

All of it. Domain, code, data, list, logins, media. You can leave and take it with you.

See it grow

The pictures are first screens of Arjun Builds, hawaiibystorm.com and dharmarelief.org, as they stood on 4 October 2026. A size says how much is built, not what anyone paid: Arjun Builds was a gift. With Nick Atlas, this process happened over 11 years. It began in 2015 and is still going.

Standard on every size

The deed

Everything in your name: domain, code, data, list, logins, media.
One number per face, agreed before the work starts.
A check at six months, and again at twelve.
A written way to shut it off.
Backups, restored at least once to prove they work.
No per-seat anything.
You can leave at any time and take all of it with you. That is the point.

Renting, beside owning

Five years on Sutra's $99 plan comes to $5,940. Five years on Kajabi's entry plan comes to $10,740, and in January 2026 Kajabi raised every price it had. A Seed, with five years of Roots, comes to $1,651.

They are not the same thing. Those are software you rent. This is a place you own.

Prices read on 2 October 2026 at sutra.co/pricing, and for Kajabi from published reviews of its pricing page. Both read again on 9 November 2026.

The centre

Sherpa

Every face of the work can be copied. The centre cannot, because the centre is a person.

A sponsor gives their time. A fellow traveller walks beside you. A sherpa has climbed this mountain, walks it with you, and then, gradually, steps back, and the path holds.

Creative: Your work, presented like the world-class organisation it is.
Concierge: A sherpa books the journey. Retreats, pilgrimages and gatherings, Hawaii to the Himalayas. Flights, stays and ground transport. One point of contact, before and during.
Caregiver: Someone steady beside you, at your pace.
Chef: Food cooked for you and the people you gather.
Circle: A real place on the internet that is actually yours.
Chess: Strategy and execution. Every move made in three directions at once: design, marketing, technology.

A sherpa can be any of these. The model is as versatile as the work people already find through Uber and Airbnb.

A sherpa is more than a subscription. It is hands-on training and coaching, between do-it-yourself at low cost and do-nothing at high cost.

That is the Middle Way, as Siddhartha first laid it out. It is be like water, in the Tao. It is wisdom, agency and integrity, in practice.

The standard is the care people know from an Amex Centurion concierge, a stay at an Aman, or the best host on Airbnb. Here it comes with the work.

On the ground

Maui

The work stands on a real place.

The islands

The main Hawaiian islands, to scale. Maui is lit. The sun marks Haleakalā, the house of the sun.

Coastlines from Natural Earth.

Why water

Ground to cloud, and back again.

The sun lifts water off the ocean. Wind carries it to the mountain. It falls as rain, runs down as a stream, sinks into the ground, and returns to the sea.

In Hawaiian, fresh water is wai. The word for wealth is waiwai.

State of Hawaiʻi, Division of Aquatic Resources

Ridge to reef

An ahupuaʻa is a Hawaiian division of land that runs from the mountains to the sea, usually along a stream.

Three zones, joined by one water. Uka, the mountain. Kula, the plain. Kai, the ocean.

Channels called ʻauwai carried the stream to the fields. What the fields did not need went back to the stream.

With thanks to the Division of Aquatic Resources, whose account this follows.

Water starts on the mountain and ends in the ocean. Every stream on the way feeds the next one, and each pays its own way.
