The people building Political Cubism, Refract, and The Trump Card project.

Political Cubism began as a book, but it is becoming a public method, a digital toolset, and an open development project. The team behind it brings together lived experience, political theory, civic data, institutional knowledge, public service, and a commitment to making complex analysis more usable.

Jeremiah Francisco-Wahl

Author, theorist, founder of Political Cubism / Refract

Creator of The Trump Card: Quantum Power and the Rise of Political Cubism

Jeremiah Francisco-Wahl is the author of The Trump Card: Quantum Power and the Rise of Political Cubism and the creator of the Political Cubism / Refract project. His work develops Quantum Power as a methodological correction to inherited political mechanics and Political Cubism as a prism method for analyzing mediated politics.

His intellectual path moves through political theory, media analysis, institutional critique, civic service, and lived experience at the edge of several American systems: homelessness, disability, higher education, public bureaucracy, and urban political life. The project grows from that location: a serious attempt to build tools for understanding power when ordinary maps fail.

The book is not only a text. It is the source code for a method of political analysis.

Data, governance, public systems, and institutional strategy

Taylor Francisco-Wahl is a civic data scientist, Columbia alumna, and co-founder of the broader Political Cubism / Refract project. Her work brings together data, governance, public systems, institutional analysis, and a deep commitment to public accountability.

Taylor's background in civic technology and legislative data helps ground the project's theoretical ambitions in practical questions: how institutions work, how information moves, how public systems respond, and how tools can make complex political analysis more usable.

A Shared Statement

Why This Project Is Being Built

Political Cubism / Refract is being built from the conviction that political analysis should become more usable without becoming less serious. The project combines political theory, media analysis, civic data, institutional experience, and digital tools to help readers see how power moves through modern reality.

The aim is not to replace classical political theory. It is to test it, extend it, and build higher-resolution tools where the classical line no longer explains the event.

The project is open to serious readers, students, researchers, journalists, artists, educators, civic actors, and developers who want to help improve the method.

Collaborate with the Project

Political Cubism / Refract is a living project. Readers, researchers, developers, educators, journalists, artists, and civic actors are invited to test the tools, suggest improvements, and help make the method more useful.
