The Bush Book: a consciously bilingual human–machine book (concept note and map of the bush)

Concept note and map of the bush, version 0.1. English and Russian versions. The text of our time is already bilingual: living human words and computed machine words are woven together, and both a person and a machine write and read it. The Bush Book is built on this consciously: each chapter shows the seam between the two languages, carries a passport for the machine reader, and records its sources and outflows as machine-readable links. It grows not like a train but like a bush: chapters come out now as articles, each with its own DOI — latent chapters of a book being woven as it goes. Each new chapter will be a new version of this record; the DOI of all versions is the DOI of the book. Open idea: anyone may use it for any purpose, citing the author (CC BY 4.0). Idea — Igor Kapustin. Written with Claude (Anthropic).

Abstract

Concept note and map of the bush, version 0.1. English and Russian versions. The text of our time is already bilingual: living human words and computed machine words are woven together, and both a person and a machine write and read it. The Bush Book is built on this consciously: each chapter shows the seam between the two languages, carries a passport for the machine reader, and records its sources and outflows as machine-readable links. It grows not like a train but like a bush: chapters come out now as articles, each with its own DOI — latent chapters of a book being woven as it goes. Each new chapter will be a new version of this record; the DOI of all versions is the DOI of the book. Open idea: anyone may use it for any purpose, citing the author (CC BY 4.0). Idea — Igor Kapustin. Written with Claude (Anthropic).
