Mapped to Volume IV in the four-volume spine.
Science & Labor
An inquiry into the hidden system beneath the promise of autonomy: what technology can replace, what human labor it still depends on, and how compute, energy, data, maintenance, and institutions shape the outcome.
AI & Human Capability · Volume IV
A Volume IV documentary concept about the human systems behind automation—compute, energy, education, care, maintenance, and the judgment required to turn technical possibility into usable capability.
AI and human capability
A concept-stage capability inquiry into how technological change becomes usable human capacity. Volume IV follows AI, automation, scientific infrastructure, energy, quantum computing, medical technology, neuroprosthetics, education, intimacy, and human evolution. It asks what must be understood, maintained, financed, and governed before a new tool can be called progress: who owns the compute and data, who can repair the systems, who receives training and care, which claims survive evidence review, and how institutions protect human agency when technology becomes opaque. The volume represents the material and social conditions of adaptation—from the energy and semiconductor base of advanced computation to the embodied, cognitive, and civic capabilities that let people use it. It remains an editorial-development catalogue entry, not a finished publication.
Quantum Computing & Scientific Capacity
A concise Volume IV primer translating quantum-information concepts, engineering constraints, and policy implications into a practical map of what quantum systems can and cannot do.
Technology & Intimacy
A short working paper on how automation, economic precarity, and digital mediation reshape intimacy, identity, and demographic life.

Advanced prostheses are becoming integrated human-machine systems, but their value depends on evidence, maintenance, consent, and access—not futuristic appearance.
Future work
This section tracks work still in development. Some projects already have a bounded preview or related public article; each card shows what is available.
Science & Technology
A bounded public preview is available. An expanded adaptation still needs owner-release, accessibility, and web QA review.
Public preview available
AI & Human Capability
A selected research article and the Volume IV roadmap are public; the book-length manuscript remains in editorial development.
