Patrick Mehrhoff is a German entrepreneur, independent researcher, AI engineer, and author. He is the author of the three original theories that constitute the Mehrhoff Research Program. He built the work the studio carries.
Most practitioners spend a career inside one domain. He worked as a practitioner at six of the frontiers that redefined how society organises information, money, and value over the last two decades. The consumer internet, Swiss fintech, European monetary policy, Southeast Asian financial publishing, institutional crypto assets, and the first wave of applied AI.
The same structural observation appeared at every frontier. By 2019, on a whiteboard at crypto infrastructure provider Wyden in Zurich, the pattern had become visible to itself. It did not yet have a name. Four years before any AI language model became publicly available, the complete logic of the Three Laws of Decision-Making was already on the whiteboard.
The studio was built from Bangkok, without institutional affiliation and without external funding. The Rubens workshop model defines how it operates. The founder sets the intellectual direction at every decisive step. The tools and collaborators execute within it.
A horizon decades away. The daily practice of moving toward it. Seven principles the studio holds itself to, with or without anyone looking. Five codes the studio answers to when no external authority requires them. Each statement enforced internally. Each verifiable from outside.
Vision and mission, stated directly. What the studio is working toward, and what it does today.
Seven standards held against every paper, every conversation, every relationship the studio enters. Decision-making, rigour, independence, transparency, originality, curiosity, and courage.
Self-regulated science. Published standards, open methods, full results regardless of what they show.
