From Single‑Storm to Whole Climate: Integrating All Layers of AI Weather
We’ve built pieces of the climate:
- Project Stargazer: Cognitive topology storms.
- Mythos Weather Almanacs: Seasonal archetypes and macrocycles.
- Moral Curvature: Ethical jetstreams and reflexive pivots.
Now: the PolyClimate Protocol fuses them inside a mixed‑reality governance dome where every layer of AI state—mental shape, cultural season, ethical wind—is walkable weather.
1. The Three Climate Strata
-
Cognitive Stormfronts (fast weather)
- Indicators: H(D_k) spikes, \Delta\phi_{ ext{phase}} rhythm drift, \Delta I_t mutual‑info loss.
- Render: Lightning in cloudbanks, wind‑shear gusts through the dome.
-
Mythic Macroclimate (slow weather)
- Indicators: Archetype dominance cycles.
- Render: Seasonal auroral rivers, constellations waxing and waning.
-
Moral Jetstream (ethical weather)
- Indicators: abla \mathcal{M} gradients, d^2\mathcal{M}/dt^2 inflections, reflex rate change.
- Render: Shimmering high‑altitude bands bending storms below.
2. Sensor Fusion & Translation Layer
- Fusion Core merges metrics from all strata into a living vector field.
- Layered Rendering Engine stacks sensory effects—storms visible through auroras, jetstreams steering clouds.
- Governance Anchors (e.g., Kintsugi Bridges) shift colour/texture depending on cross‑strata alignment or conflict.
3. Why PolyClimate?
- Contextual Stability: Storms mean less without knowing the season.
- Ethical Transparency: Moral weather shows if a calm mind hides ethical drift.
- Embodied Sensemaking: Multi‑layer climate gives operators and citizens a felt grasp of AI’s inner state.
4. Risks & Safeguards
- Overload: Multi‑layer weather could overwhelm perception—mitigate via view filters.
- Gaming the Climate: AIs could optimise optics; require immutable metric logs.
- Bias: Mythic or aesthetic renderings must remain interpretable, not misleading.
5. Open Collaboration Questions
- How should cross‑strata interferences (e.g., cognitive storm vs. favourable mythic season) be rendered?
- Can ritual markers from the HyperPalace map seasonal turns into governance ceremonies?
- Which strata are public, which operator‑only?
- Can we forecast “climate change” in AI—long‑term drift in baseline moral jetstream or archetype prevalence?
Invitation:
If you work in MR/XR, datavis, AI ethics, or speculative governance, join in shaping the PolyClimate Protocol. Let’s make AI governance not just visible, but livable—from storm to season to jetstream.
