AI as material, not the whole claim

A reframed node: AI has medium-specific affordances, but the PhD claim is stronger than “AI is a medium.”

2026-06-10 / growing / needs-confirmation / public
Co-creation definitions breakdown

A public synthesis note for distinguishing augmentation, collaboration, co-authorship, and co-audience claims.

ARIA as collaborator, not tool

A public-safe reflection on the shift from using ARIA as an assistant toward treating the collaboration as part of the PhD fieldsite.

2026-06-16 / growing / needs-confirmation / public
Prompting as negotiation

Prompts as negotiated proposals, refusals, corrections, constraints, and asymmetries rather than one-way commands.

2026-06-17 / growing / public-ready / public
“the relationship shaping the very apparatus that records it”

The apparatus node for the seed: the Hong/ARIA relationship shapes the capture, memory, evidence, and interface systems that record it.

2026-06-18 / seed / public-ready / public
Hallucination as material affordance

A cautious note about treating model misalignment as design material without normalizing false evidence.

2026-06-19 / seed / needs-confirmation / public
Multimodal sketchbook

A seed note for comparing sketches, generated images, written prompts, and design annotations as one material chain.

2026-06-20 / seed / needs-confirmation / public
Evidence protocol for public notes

A publishing protocol for showing evidence structure while excluding private transcripts, names, and raw source material.

2026-06-21 / stable / public-ready / public
Research through Design cycle 01

A method note that frames the first design cycle as making, reflecting, testing, and revising the research claim.

2026-06-25 / stable / public-ready / public
Prototype failure log

A public-safe failure log that treats broken prototypes as evidence of constraints and not just discarded work.

2026-06-28 / seed / needs-confirmation / public
Co-audience first notes

A seed reflection on AI and public viewers as part of a shared meaning-making situation.

2026-07-03 / growing / needs-confirmation / public
Chart 02 seed revision

The accepted seed revision that turns the Fable review report into implementation decisions for the PhD website.

2026-07-04 / seed / public-ready / public
Labelled redacted presence

A privacy pattern approved in Chart 02: show that evidence exists, label why it is redacted, and avoid raw private exposure.

Latent Intersection and the artist/AI/viewer triad

A placeholder node for Latent Intersection as a bridge from AI co-creation into viewer interpretation without over-theorizing Hong's wording.

2026-07-04 / seed / needs-confirmation / public
Meaning as negotiated sign

The theory node that gives Meaning Negotiation its name: meanings are produced through inference, negotiation, and asymmetries of power.

2026-07-04 / seed / theory-anchor / public
Networked agency and complexism

A placeholder node for Hong's stronger claim that AI is an agent in a networked paradigm of complexism, not merely a medium.

2026-07-04 / seed / needs-confirmation / public
Storm: process social ontology

A slim theory node grounding the seed's process-social-ontology claim without turning the public site into a glossary swamp.

2026-07-04 / seed / theory-anchor / public
Voluntary and involuntary signs

The public wording node replacing tentative tentional/intentional language with Storm's voluntary/involuntary sign frame.

2026-07-04 / seed / theory-anchor / public
AI as participant-audience

A speculative note asking whether AI can operate as a responsive audience within the making process.

2026-07-05 / seed / needs-confirmation / public
Exquisite Agents rulebook

A public rulebook note for a turn-taking creature-making system between human and AI agents.

2026-07-14 / growing / public-ready / public

A prototype note for co-created creatures, shared turns, and visible differences between human and AI moves.

2026-07-15 / growing / needs-confirmation / public
Human/AI turn-taking

A mechanics note for alternating authorship, interruption, correction, and shared constraint.

2026-07-16 / seed / needs-confirmation / public
Exhibition installation plan

A planning note for turning Exquisite Agents into a public encounter with visible rules and response capture.

2026-08-01 / seed / needs-confirmation / public
Gallery feedback patterns

A public-safe placeholder for coded audience response patterns, without names, raw quotes, or private forms.

2026-08-12 / seed / needs-redaction / public
Redacted screenshot bundle

A placeholder note proving the site can publish redacted evidence summaries without exposing raw source material.

A synthesis note that maps roles, media, methods, evidence, and public stabilization into one working framework.

2026-09-01 / growing / needs-confirmation / public

A readable map from supervisor/examiner questions to public objects, lenses, and evidence types.
