Pengu Commander — embodying discipline, foresight, and containment.

APV (Axis · Pivot · Veil) is a strategy game inspired by principles of military strategic thinking. It explores foresight, containment, and tempo control through a perfect-information hexagonal system that distills the logic of operational geometry into a playable analytical form. APV represents a modern abstraction of initiative, commitment, and positional command.

Designed for cognitive and analytical training, APV draws on operational design, systems engineering, and AI control theory. It translates complex principles of tempo and containment into elegant, testable mechanics—a disciplined environment for studying strategic clarity and decision rhythm.

Andrew R. Garcia, Ph.D is a systems engineer and cognitive-AI researcher working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, strategic foresight, and human decision design. Trained in Chemical Engineering, he develops frameworks and tools that model how people and machines anticipate, commit, and adapt under deterministic constraints.

Dr. Garcia’s broader research investigates the minimal architectures of intelligence, exploring how constraint, clarity, and foresight lead to superior outcomes. APV serves both as a playable system and as a conceptual prototype for modeling human-AI strategic reasoning.
