Addressable Space: Appendix

This appendix traces how mechanical and automated systems have progressively occupied dedicated floor space in tall buildings since the 20th century, using a timeline of specific skyscrapers (World Trade Center through a speculative future 'Ware-House') to demonstrate the increasing displacement of human-occupied space by infrastructure. Hart argues that this historical trajectory suggests a future scenario where high-rise buildings could be engineered primarily to house automated systems rather than people, with addressable space becoming dominated by technological systems rather than human inhabitation.

Zero-Knowledge Explainer Series

This explainer introduces zero-knowledge proofs as a cryptographic domain that enables proving knowledge of data without fully revealing it, using the analogy of a dimmer switch to illustrate how ZK protocols control information visibility. The piece demonstrates the concept through the Alice-and-Bob probability example, showing how repeated correct guesses establish proof of knowledge while keeping the underlying information hidden from the verifier.

End-to-end Encryption in ActivityPub: Case File

This case file documents an effort to integrate end-to-end encryption into ActivityPub, the distributed social network protocol, by mapping Messaging Layer Security (MLS RFC9420) onto the existing standard as an extension. The central tension is balancing security robustness with implementability simplicity, requiring the authors to examine user interfaces across messaging platforms and architectural variations before recommending a design approach for E2EE in federated social networks.

Shoreline Adaptations: Case File

This case file examines protocols for shoreline adaptation in cities facing sea level rise, challenging the engineering-led approach that relies on hardened infrastructure while disconnecting communities from coastlines. The authors propose alternative protocols rooted in activism and adaptive community engagement that enable vibrant, resilient waterfront futures rather than merely protecting existing capital investments.
