The house his biology lives inside is, on the public evidence, a back-of-the-envelope. Here is the architectural specification a Blueprint practitioner is undoing every night they sleep.Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTKas Bordierblueprintlongevitycomparisonframeworkhttps://mavilongevity.com/journal/the-thousand-ppm-threshold/https://mavilongevity.com/journal/the-thousand-ppm-threshold/Above 1000 ppm of carbon dioxide, decision-making and complex-task performance measurably degrade. A closed bedroom passes that threshold by mid-evening. The single highest-leverage architectural intervention in most homes is a window cracked one centimetre.Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTKas Bordieraircognitionco2sleephttps://mavilongevity.com/journal/the-floor-plan-is-the-protocol/https://mavilongevity.com/journal/the-floor-plan-is-the-protocol/Behaviour-change advice is endless; behaviour-change adherence is exhausting.
