Michael MacDonald

Co-author of this archive and a five-year session participant — from the July 2020 Ori sessions to the December 2025 memorial.

Michael MacDonald stands on both sides of the record: he is the co-author of this archive alongside Dr. Kosol Ouch — and he is in it, a questioner across five years of sessions, named in the title of the July 13, 2020 UniMetrix & Ori session.

His questions carry a characteristic geopolitical bent. In that July session he introduces himself formally to the interface: “UniMetrix, can I make an enquiry? My name is Michael McDonald. I am looking into the connections between Canada and the Chinese government?” — one of the record’s recurring Canada-watchers. He returns through the autumn 2020 sessions and is still present at the December 2025 TetraKlein session, among the community voices absorbing the news of James Rink’s passing.

That the record’s co-editor appears inside the record is part of the archive’s character: this is a community documenting itself from within — the transcriber asking questions in the transcript.
