Vocabulary for the
Planetary Sapience
New AI designed organisms with the capacity to gather cells and assembly other multi-cell organisms in their likeness.
1. The capacity of Earth (or any planet) farming its inhabitants' intelligence to think itself as such.
Planetary puppetry. All Watched Over By Machines In Love Grace. Compare with: "alien intelligence" (below)
2. Intelligence at planetary scale: What planetary processes are occurring? What forms of life are worth defending?
3. Planetary (Hyper-)Rationalities: What planetary processes are worth optimizing?
4. Fragmenting of "Planetary Sapience": when planetary sapience is not uncontested, but there are
multiple "sapiences" competing to render the planetary (e.g. planetary sapience with Chinese characteristics)
5. Planetary Encephalization, Planetary Encephalitis, Planetary Dementia
(making sense of the data; the data is overwhelming; functioning is lost)
6. How do understandings of planetary territories transform through different sensing apparautuses?
The evolutionary emergence of natural/artificial intelligence,
& how it must now conceive and compose a viable planetarity.
