Symbiotic Evolution with Intelligence (SEI) - White Paper v1.2

Executive SummaryThis white paper proposes a novel framework: SEI – Symbiotic Evolution with Intelligence, a cognitive infrastructure designed to enhance human-AI co-creation. It builds on a recursive design methodology developed through over 100 dialogue sessions between a human cognitive architect and GPT-4o, making the co-evolutionary process itself a testbed for future cognitive systems. Why SEI now?As generative AI rapidly integrates into knowledge work, it is critical to develop epistemically aligned cognitive systems—ones that not only extend human intelligence but evolve symbiotically with it. SEI is both the system and the method to realize this. Core Use:Cognitive system design, doctoral research, epistemic modeling Target Partners:TU Delft, RSM Erasmus, Leiden University, Utrecht University, and other leading institutions in cognitive design and organizational studies. We invite collaboration to develop SEI further—technically, methodologically, and philosophically. The attached document introduces the SEI system, its terminology map, and its ongoing use in PhD research architecture.
