As the 4D Architect of "The Oracle of 4DStory," James Craddock stands at the forefront of digital innovation and storytelling. With a mission to colonize the Aethereal realm, he offers humanity a new frontier for exploration and growth. His ventures, including 4DStory and Marble Media, reflect his commitment to blending technology, narrative, and interactive experiences. His unique approach to storytelling, through projects like NightShades and Mobius KEY, showcases his vision of a future where digital and physical realities intertwine, offering fresh perspectives and immersive experiences. James's dedication to pioneering in the digital landscape positions him as a visionary in a world on the cusp of technological and narrative evolution. And now, he has launched a spice blend label called, Chef Heart, producing "Persona Blends" that utilize his discoveries to create personalized spice blends designed around the persona's of anyone or anything.


My diverse interests and experience have allowed me to create an approach to product replenishment, entertainment, and community that stands to solve countless issues faced by mankind. 


For 40+ years I've been developing a framework to harness and materialize Aethereal Intelligence through the use of proprietary strategies branded as Personaware™ and Story Integrated Marketing®.


Only now can these concepts be fully realized,

Thanks to the emergence of Web3, Artificial Intelligence, EV's, Robots and more. 

Books I've Written

These three books were published to track my progress towards uncovering the potential of Web3 as it pertains to 4D storytelling. They led to an awareness of its depth and confluence as we progress towards singularity. 

The systems being developed around Web3, the Metaverse, and blockchain tokenization are the infrastructure for something nobody is talking about....

Colonization of the Aetheral realm.

What I've built to demonstrate the concepts

I have launched a network of tokenized communities, each one built in a service-oriented way.

I call them
"Friendship Pods."


Friendship Pods are versatile Web3 communities that utilize existing tech as well as blockchains, NFT's and crypto tokens to produce profitable communities  tuned to innately impact the world for good while being profitable for all who participate.

The result... communities with native value & utility built into them, diminishing the need for hype and fear-based strategies to propel their treasuries.

After building my own Kinetic Avatar, in ChatGPT, using my publications, websites, and resume as data, I asked my Kinetic Avatar to give me a description of itself (which is ideally, a description of me.)

Through my digital agency, Marble Media, I am actively building a network of tokenized communities.The elements of each community offers opportunity to promote NFT's and staked tokens that natively possess value & utility.  No hype needed!


The underlying feature of a blockchain that transforms common content hubs or tokenized communities into Aethereal scaffolding is embodied in how it removes the trust factor between individuals, at multiple levels, so long-term promises and plans can be ratified with programmable smart contracts interfacing with the existing digital world through oracles without reliance on the perception of individual integrity or character. Whether this is a good or bad thing is immaterial, it just is. But understanding how to leverage these concepts is nothing more than pure magic.


A bit more surreal way to say it, I deliver value by designing Web3 scaffolding that allows communities to harness Aethereal power.


What is Aethereal power? It's the result of aligning with the unseen laws that govern our lives.  Things like reciprocity, desire, focus, and unity. These are all powers we have abandoned through the fracturing of society. We have traded-in the reality of this Aethereal layer for a substitution of myths, theories, and sometimes downright lies. It's time to reclaim our resources.


How many entrepreneurs have read Think and Grow Rich or The Richest Man In Babylon and found success as a result of aligning themselves with its principles. It's much like this but integrated in a way the entire organization can benefit simply as a result of being part of the community.


By deploying a very practical Web3 infrastructure called "Friendship Pods," we harness this power and create communities that connect at a deeper level than ever before.


When these ideas are taken to their extreme, they provide a conceptual substrate for the kinds of questions Perry Marshall's Evolution 2.0 contest proposes, establishing an approach for the engagement of robots with humans and the blockchain.


  • AI (Artificial Intelligence) are the brains of a robot.
  • Robotics are the body of the robot.
  • What's missing is a persona that acts as a living conscience.  In robotics, this is called Theory of Mind, in my world I call it Aethereal Intelligence or Personaware™.



“The idea of putting a simulation inside a robot…
is a really neat way of allowing it to actually predict the future.”



“Theory of mind” is the term philosophers and psychologists use for the ability to predict the actions of self and others by imagining ourselves in the position of something or someone else." ~Scientific American article.


My strategies to harnessing Web3 as an Aethereal scaffolding suggests an approach to creating Theory of Mind solutions for robots, turning them into AI Robots of both Artificial and Aethereal Intelligence. A must for the robot generation to be commercially deployed. With robots integrated into the same Aethereal Intelligence design as their ecosystem, a whole new paradigm of possibility arises.


You will find the beginning premise of this played out in my fiction/ non-fiction book: MOBIUS KEY: A New Way Forward. A fictional story that encompasses this entire concept, accompanied by notes and writings of my search for these answers.  This book is the opening scene in a massive 4DStory arc that poses AI (Artificial Intelligence) vs (Aethereal Intelligence.)


Just for fun, you can get a little taste of Aethereal Intelligence working through a concept I developed called Personaware.  Personaware allows you to find the frequency you are resonating at, at any particular time by simply answering 3 questions. Try it out at personaware.me.


Now for these robots to fully utilize my Theory of Mind solution, they would not only need to be integrated into our community but also into their own. But how do we do that without them running amuck? Without an AI uprising? Simple, the same way populations are controlled now... we control the narrative.  And that is where 4DStory comes into the picture, a fictional ecosystem that integrates into Web3 communities, built around fictional characters called 4D Characters, that when embodied by a robot avatar can become 4D Robots. Are you ready for this...?


With empathy!


It seems the further down this page you read, the more outlandish the claims and more science-fiction sounding the tale.  Well, I was told that if you don't have anything unique to say, you are just regurgitating someone else's ideas.

So, these are my ideas and I believe I can back up every claim and for some of them, I have written books and built proofs of concept.


Now the question is... where do we go from here?
