cellular communication x planetary-scale
︎ strategically: unlike developments from some of our favourite Silicon Valley minds, this system charts an alternative path to solving planetary hurdles of our potential futures from climate crises to cognitive divides, by weaving technology even deeper into our ecosystem rather than building a superstructure and aims toward operational indistinguishability from our bodies and natural surroundings.
︎ poetically: uncovering biological principles and incrementally transfering complex tasks to biology through operational layers which are robust, fragile and asymmetrically synchronised enough to be adopted by host systems while retaining functional ties to directives that become only one of many information streams coursing through.
︎ practically: requires decades of collaborative efforts and makes hard work even more exciting, driven by the potential of seeing through the roadmap of: expanded sensory library → critical situations deployment → physical–synthetic bridge → interface grow-it-yourself-kit → distributed biological HPC → off-planetary deployment with local materials → material-agnostic manufacturing.
