Ian Cheng traces his evolution as an artist from early raw motion-capture work ('This Papaya Tastes Perfect') through self-playing simulations ('Entropy Wrangler', 'Emissaries') to the AI-driven creature Bob, built using Richard Evans' neurosymbolic inductive logic programming to model belief-formation and motivated perception. He discusses colliding scripted narrative with open-ended simulation, drawing on Dramatica story theory, Jeff Hawkins' thousand-brains model of mind, and Will Wright's systems-based design philosophy to explain his approach to AI-generated worlds and storytelling in works like 'Life After Bob'.

Guest Talk with Chen Qiufan | Science Fiction as Protocol

Author Chen Qiufan (Stanley Chan) argues that science fiction functions as a protocol for reconciling heterogeneous systems of thought, drawing on his own experiments training an AI writing collaborator ('Chen Qiufan 2.0') to explore distributed and non-centralized models of cognition found in novels like Peter Watts' Blindsight, Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep, and Ursula K. Le Guin's work. He proposes that symbiosis and endosymbiosis—biological precedents for merging distinct systems—offer a template for how carbon-based and silicon-based intelligence might coexist, framing science fiction as a tool to counterbalance cognitive asymmetry and motivate participation in shaping the future.

Protocols for TV Comedy with Steve Hely

Steve Hely, a TV comedy writer and novelist, maps Hollywood's unwritten protocols onto the Summer of Protocols framework, walking through the pipeline from pitching (agents/managers, the five-part pitch structure, 'burglar ways' like South Park's demo tape) to the writer's room's 'yes and' norm, table reads as laughter-audits, and call-sheet production hierarchies. He argues comedy itself often arises from characters running mismatched protocols (Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, Big Bang Theory), and closes with skepticism that AI can yet replicate the emotional story-stakes that make scripted comedy work.

Protocoling HCI: Hardening Interaction into Infrastructure

Botao Amber Hu presents 'Protocoling HCI,' an early-stage design theory arguing that HCI must shift from designing moments of use to designing protocols as infrastructural material that shapes local action spaces while enabling emergent collective behavior. Drawing on Michael Levine's work on agential material, bioelectric morphogenesis, and 'cognitive glue,' plus concepts like emergent engineering and reverse game theory, Hu proposes that protocols act as 'trust compressors' that let bounded agents coordinate without full mutual knowledge, illustrated through the NFT art piece Merge as a 'protocol art' example.
