Selv bruk av KI til enkel språkvask kan endre både form og innhold i en tekst.

AI is an external entity — we're only augmented when ideas enter our own brains. A deep dive on tagging vs patterns, ontologies that freeze, shared annotation across independent systems, and a provocation: the real world has coordinates, knowledge doesn't. futuretextlab.info/2026/08/31/3...

The Lab ran the first Origami Text build together, debated how 3D and live data travel inside plain EPUBs, heard Herculaneum's graffiti reframed as Roman social media, and asked what shape time should take in XR — Sankey flows of ideas beside the papers. futuretextlab.info/2026/08/24/2...

We start today with the perspective that knowledge is, at least to a large extent, about connections. It follows therefore that the substrates we use to hold our knowledge and the tools we use to interact with our knowledge extend connections. 4:30 UK. Join us! futuretextlab.info/2026-cal/

Constellations only make sense from where you stand. From the model element in EPUB to knowledge navigators, negotiated glossaries, and zero-sum games in VR, the Lab asked how tools could let us see from each other's vantage points. futuretextlab.info/2026/08/11/1...

AI is certainly not only doing fancy autocomplete. It is most certainly understanding from a functional sense. Exactly how I don't think we know, but this is definitely a new kind of understanding. Do you agree?

Is showing a connection a line-routing problem — or a signifier problem? We reframed relationships in 360° space via Norman's affordances, asked what a node shows when closed, and watched one AI brief another to render our own ideas. youtu.be/6rHgL25CnTg

Happy Wednesday.

In case you forgot:
We live on a planet where whales sing songs that travel for miles.
Where trees can recognize their own offspring and protect them underground.
Where dolphins give each other names and where lightning can create glass in the sand.
Where horses can read human emotions.
Where rain has a smell before it even arrives and where the ocean can glow in the dark.
And where stars we see might not even exist anymore.
