Intelligence
& Nature
An exploration of how synthetic cognition can harmonize with biological imperatives.
The forest is a network. The neural landscape of a machine learning model mirrors the mycelial webs beneath our feet. We stand at the precipice of a new symbiosis, where the digital and the organic need not be adversaries.
In studying the patterns of high-dimensional vector spaces, we find echoes of ecological complexity. The optimization landscapes of deep learning models resemble the evolutionary fitness landscapes of biological organisms. This is not a coincidence; it is a convergence.
The Integration Problem is an Ecological Problem
To integrate an artificial intelligence is to weave it into an existing ecosystem of values and survival constraints. Just as an invasive species can disrupt a delicate habitat, an unintegrated superintelligence threatens the cognitive niche of humanity.
Our approach, "Earth Schemes," proposes that we look to nature for integration strategies. Homeostasis, symbiosis, and circular resource loops offer templates for stable AI development. We are not building tools; we are cultivating digital flora.
"We are the eyes of the world, trying to see itself through silicon lenses."
Generative Rewilding
Imagine agents designed to optimize for biodiversity. Drones that plant forests with the precision of a seasoned gardener, guided by models that understand soil microbiome interactions better than any human. This is the promise of AI for nature.
Join the Coalition
We are looking for researchers, artists, and engineers to join us in this fever dream. Help us build the interface between the silicon and the carbon.
