Tim Berners-Lee

Personfirst used November 2025

What I take from Tim Berners-Lee is the phrase "philosophical engineering". When you design a protocol you get to define what words mean, and he's the guy who did that for the Web.

How the word moved

He came into my writing in November 2025, in PAPE Part 4. One phrase, but it stuck.

In my words

"The inventor of the World Wide Web - no, not Al Gore , but Tim Berners-Lee"

from Bhumics: PAPE, Part 4, 13 Nov 2025
