It's not a prediction or a claim of truth, but a conceptual lens for thinking about meaning, context, trust, identity, and AI in a period of rapid discontinuity.
The piece introduces three speculative frameworks: • OntoMesh (8-layer structure of meaning + civilization), • PTI (Phase Transition of Intelligence), • HPE (Hybrid Process Ecology), a metaphor for adaptive civilizational systems.
Posting here to invite critical discussion: Is "lossy vs. lossless" a useful metaphor for technological civilization? Where does the analogy break? What alternative models make more sense?
Curious to hear perspectives from engineers, researchers, systems thinkers, and skeptics.
