“I noticed another mirror behind me,” Jones recalls. “My reflection repeated infinitely between them, yet the one behind me was invisible from where I stood.” That quiet, almost accidental moment became the seed for a model that now bridges philosophy, logic, and the physics of observation.

The metaphor is simple: a half-silvered mirror lets light through in one direction but reflects in the other. In Jones’s model, dimensions work in much the same way, allowing one-way observation but preventing it in reverse. Over time, that spark of an idea grew into a formalised structure, with logical and computational underpinnings robust enough to stand alongside established scientific models.

Beyond Consciousness

Published in its expanded form in July 2025, Half-Silvering Dimensions draws on concepts from quantum mechanics but deliberately sidesteps the popular pitfall of anthropomorphising physics. “When I first published the conceptual version, people misunderstood its applications,” Jones says. “That’s why I formalised it, to make sure it couldn’t be mistaken for a claim about conscious beings or mystical forces. It’s purely about the structure of perception and definition in systems.”

The theory’s elegance lies in its restraint. It does not speculate about the existence of higher-dimensional entities, nor does it suggest that observation requires awareness. Instead, it treats observation as an interaction that defines a system’s state, no more and no less.

A Fictional Atlantis

While their scientific work dissects the mechanics of perception, Jones’s 2022 novel 2938: Atlantis explores the fragility of memory and myth through the lens of speculative fiction. Written under the pseudonym Kaiden Toomzy, the book imagines a future shaped by technological decay and forgotten histories.

“Honestly, when I was writing 2938, I was just having fun,” Jones admits. “It was hard, especially at a young age, but it’s still one of my biggest achievements.”

The novel’s layered storytelling, part dystopian vision, part philosophical thought experiment, earned it national recognition, including the Gold Innovation & Creativity Award at the Engage National Awards in 2019, as well as praise from bestselling author Dan Freedman.

Working Without a Net

Jones’s path has been anything but conventional. Growing up in the UK care system meant building a career without the scaffolding of institutional support. “Because of some personal events in my life, I’ve had to develop my career without institutional backing,” they explain. “But I still believe I’ve achieved significant results. And I can’t wait to see where I am next.”

That resilience, they believe, has been as important as any theory or publication. Recognition has not made them complacent; it has only set the bar higher.

Looking Ahead

While Half-Silvering Dimensions and 2938: Atlantis may seem worlds apart, Jones sees them as interconnected explorations of perception, reality, and the stories we build from fragments. Yet their ambitions stretch beyond these projects.

“I agree they can be seen as similar,” Jones says, “but I think I can expand further. Right now, I’m working on moving into the computing academic field, and I’m sure in the future I’ll be onto a completely new project.”

For Jones, whether the work takes the form of a formal logic model or a speculative novel, the driving force remains the same: to challenge the way we see, and the way we think we see.
