About
Matheus Pullig Soranço de Carvalho.
Matheus Soranço is a researcher in artificial intelligence engineering and multi-agent systems, with a master’s degree in AI Engineering at PUC-Rio. He is also a writer, essayist and engineer.
Philomathēs — from the Greek φιλομαθής, “lover of knowledge” — gathers what he publishes: essays, fiction, art and music, cryptography, code and technical notes, projects, curation and manifestos. This site is the reference version of all of these texts; the other platforms receive copies.
Between February and July 2026 he also published under the pseudonym Alexei Zhakev. The authorship was revealed in October 2026, and those texts are in the Zhakev Archive.
In September 2026 he released the short story collection Breve Inventário de Coisas que Não São Exatamente Esperança, Mas Servem (in Portuguese).
This is the English edition of the site, with its own posts. The Portuguese edition is the main one, and some texts exist in both languages; when they do, the language button at the top takes you from one to the other.
