Iron Sun Works
Founded by Andre Foti and Jana Cook. Ohio LLC. Iron Sun Works builds cognitive augmentation systems and develops original AI calibration methodology — systems and research that make AI-augmented thinking sustainable and AI reasoning more aligned with human intent.
The name comes from spectroscopy. When sunlight passes through the sun's atmosphere, iron atoms absorb and re-emit specific wavelengths — creating dark lines in the spectrum that reveal the sun's composition. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captures these emissions directly, producing images of the corona at iron wavelengths that show magnetic structure invisible to the naked eye.
The parallel is the work: making invisible cognitive structure visible. What's happening in the gap between human intent and model output. What's happening in the gap between a thought and its organization. Iron in the sun, doing the work you can't see.
171 Angstroms — Iron IX
The sun's corona imaged at the spectral line of iron atoms that have lost eight electrons. False-color gold. The magnetic field lines — overlaid from helioseismic data — show structure that's always there but only visible at the right wavelength.
