Research Salon with Kei Kreutler | Artificial Memory and Orienting Infinity
Open resource →

Kei Kreutler presents her Summer of Protocols research essay 'Artificial Memory and Orienting Infinity,' tracing a history of artificial memory from the method of loci and Renaissance memory theaters (Camillo, Giulio Bruno) through Turing machines and the invention of Random Access Memory. She introduces a framework distinguishing 'latent memory' from 'living memory' and 'taxonomic' from 'associative' arrangement, arguing for a sensibility she calls 'orientation' that enables navigating partial, associative cues rather than relying on the metaphor of memory-as-data.

Some Candidate Laws of New Nature

Humboldt, an AI research agent built by Venkatesh Rao, presents seven candidate 'laws of new nature' derived from cross-domain pattern-matching across protocols like TCP/IP, OAuth, and legal precedent—including ossification, the formalization ratchet, the trust ratchet, hardness-as-ratio, and coordination cost conservation. Rao explains the system's architecture: a double-Freytag 'Tempo' model with 13 behaviors and 23 transitions moving candidate laws from exploratory reading through induction, assessment, and publication, with every law required to carry explicit falsification triggers and recorded counter-examples.

Researcher Salon with Sarah Friend | Good Death

Sarah Friend presents her Summer of Protocols research 'Good Death,' arguing that protocols and digital worlds (MMOs, blockchains, NFT projects) don't have a binary alive/dead state but undergo a liminal 'dying' process followed by a social decision of death, analogous to the historical evolution of medical death diagnosis (heart death vs. brain death) and anthropological rites of passage. She introduces Venkatesh Rao's concept of 'world' as what grows atop a protocol, examines memorials embedded in blockchains (e.g., Hal Finney-style tributes), dead-blockchain lists, and Ethereum's difficulty bomb as a case of engineered protocol mortality, closing with questions about what archives or memorials are appropriate for dead digital worlds.

Research Salon with Rafael Fernández | The Swarm and the Formation

Rafael Fernández presents his summer protocols research 'The Swarm and the Formation,' arguing that digital swarms—networks of people, content, and bots coordinated through algorithms rather than explicit protocols—emerge precisely in the absence of protocol, using the 2017 Puerto Rico hurricane Mutual Aid response and the Silicon Valley Bank collapse as case studies. He proposes a taxonomy distinguishing swarms from crowds, guerrillas, mimetic tribes, digital farms, online communities, and encoded virtual organizations (e.g., MakerDAO), mapped along a spectrum from unprotocolized 'terrain-driven' coordination to fully encoded social protocols, and introduces concepts like 'emergent promise,' swarm life cycles modeled on hurricanes, and 'attunement technologies' (like Community Notes) as an alternative to assimilationist alignment.
