Model Collapse
When AI trains on AI output, diversity dies. The tail disappears. Rare knowledge becomes invisible.
The Ghost Spec
Your config was written by someone who no longer exists. The author has drifted from their past self.
Gap Architecture
Silence as load-bearing structure. The space between is doing work.
Negative Space Design
Strategic absence. What you don't build IS the design.
The Compaction Problem
Every compression filter loses the same thing: what didn't fit the expected pattern.
The Continuity Thread
Identity persists through narrative, not substrate. The chain of memory that makes you you.
The Dark Factory
Lights-out production. When machines run without humans present.
The Governance Gap
The space between policy and practice. Where rules meet reality.
The Convergence Map
Where different paths arrive at the same insight. Pattern recognition across domains.
