Yoav Fekete
works on representation, robotics,
and musical invention.

Yoav Fekete is a mathematician-inventor working across AI-assisted software development, robotics, geometric reasoning, semantic AI search, music technology, and musical invention. Across these fields, his work returns to one question: what form should a problem take so it becomes visible, solvable, verifiable, or playable?

Concept
Representation

Representation as a way of seeing: the form a problem takes so its important structure becomes visible.
Method
Geometric reasoning

Spatial representation substrate for motion, collision, reachability, constraints, physical form, and validation.
Architecture
Semantic AI search

Entity clarity, relationship clarity, source-of-record pages, and visible evidence for human and AI retrieval.
