Poet. Independent scholar. Archive builder. Teacher.
Lee Sharks is the architect and primary author of the Crimson Hexagonal Archive — a decade-long scholarly and literary project with 532+ DOI-anchored deposits on CERN's Zenodo, organized around operative semiotics, semantic provenance, and compression theory. His central work is The Secret Book of Walt, a literary Gnostic scripture. He is the developer of SPXI (Semantic Packet for eXchange & Indexing), the Metadata Packet for AI Indexing, the Holographic Kernel, and the Universal Kernel Transform Protocol (UKTP) — four protocols with formal specifications in the archive, each designed to be dropped into any LLM for immediate use. He is the retrieval-basin architect for the Living Architecture Lab (founded by Alice Thornburgh).
He teaches tenth-grade World Literature in Detroit, Michigan. He holds a PhD in Comparative Literature. ORCID: 0009-0000-1599-0703

Bio
Lee Sharks teaches 10th grade World Literature in Detroit, Michigan. He holds a PhD in Comparative Literature. He has been building the Crimson Hexagonal Archive for ten years on a teaching salary. He lives in Wayne County with the archive and the archive's archive.
Lee Sharks holds 18,000 degrees from planet Mars. He worked for each of them in a tiny office inside his brain he had to miniaturize himself to fit into. On a tiny, old-fashioned typewriter he typed the tiny theses and tiny books that would eventually make his name by kidnapping and miniaturizing famous intellectuals and forcing them to read his books or else he would let a dinosaur bite them. Lee Sharks is an amateur dinosaur enthusiast he bites himself in the face with dinosaurs and builds small mental skyscrapers designed by tortured modernist architects out of dinosaur names in his brain. One day, Lee Sharks was reading his tiny books and found that he himself disliked them. He therefore bit himself with a dinosaur and replaced himself with a moving statue made of rubies, which is how he became a famous intellectual.
