Marie “Ree” Meronym
Owner of 🧠ReeOS🧭  and Developer of Distributed Capability Architecture

Marie is a neurospicy systems translator, mobility aid user, advocate, tenant, researcher, and lived-experience architect.

Distributed Capability Architecture is based on 15 years of documented lived experience as a Sandwell Council tenant, and SAWB NHS Trust patient including prolonged housing, safeguarding, benefits, healthcare, communication, and accessibility failures. Marie’s work asks what happens when a disabled person is repeatedly left to solve institutional failures alone, and what can be learned from the systems they build to survive.

ReeOS explores the person: regulation, cognition, communication, sensory load, pacing, executive function, identity, and autonomy.

Distributed Capability Architecture explores the environment: how body, tools, spaces, routines, community, time, and institutions either support or destroy capability.

Marie’s current projects include the Calibration Project, which uses Mini Metro as a morning capacity-assessment tool; the Music Regulation Project, which explores how playlists and deep listening support nervous-system regulation; the Food Infrastructure Project, which maps low-friction nutrition systems; and the Granny Project, an AI-assisted translator and executive-function exosuit designed to turn non-linear, systems-based communication into clear institutional, practical, legal, or relational language.

This work began when peers from ADHD Babes asked Marie how she adapted specific strategies for her own life. Answering that question required reverse-engineering the whole system.

🧠ReeOS🧭: Adaptive Systems for Real Lives

ReeOS is a project about reverse-engineering regulation, accessibility, and daily functioning from lived experience into practical design principles.

It began when peers asked how specific strategies worked, and I realised I first had to understand what I had actually built: a whole adaptive ecosystem. 🧠ReeOS🧭 explores the person, while Distributed Capability Architecture explores the environment around them. Together, they map how bodies, brains, tools, spaces, routines, relationships, and time can be arranged to reduce friction and support participation.

The mission is to translate these insights into adaptable frameworks for different people and situations, not by prescribing a single method, but by showing how to design support systems that fit the reality of someone’s life.
