Cognitive Infrastructures

In this paper, we explore several conjectural scenarios for the development of artificial intelligence as a force animating the physical infrastructures of everyday life. We do so by foregrounding the real and potential co-evolution of natural and machine intelligence in relation to one another. The proposals are diverse and developed semi-independently in the context of a one month intensive research studio. However, if imagined as a single integrated speculation described from different vantage points, it might be as follows: the executable embedding of a society of digital twins of brain organoids that run in slow computational time by driving artificial epidermal mediated distributed organs, are in turn part of xenomorphic biohybrid robotic phenotypes that produce various levels of nested minimum viable interiorities with which human-users deploy inverted embedding visualizations to learn new game theoretic dynamics through adaptive anti-transitivity, shifting asymmetries of mutual mind modeling, and carefully calibrated novelty-inducing disalignments. The composite assemblage would be fixed in a long-term durational imprint backed up on a highly durable substrate for long-term decoding.
