World Overview
Vision Statement
By 2035, people live with a better sense of time. Not clock time, but threadtime—shared narratives braided across generations.
Two New Non-AI Technologies That Have Played an Important Role
Memory Looms
Devices that stitch personal experiences into tactile, readable threads passed between people and generations.
Quiet AI
Ambient AI systems that sense emotional rhythms and guide users to moments of rest, reflection, or connection.
What Kind of AI Exists in This World?
Gentle and seasonal. Helps people remember, anticipate, and pause. Feels more like a rhythm than a machine.
What is a New or Reformed Institution That Has Played an Important Role?
The Continuity Guild: A non-state alliance focused on protecting intergenerational knowledge, grief practices, and shared rituals.
How One Sector of Society Has Been Transformed:
Care work is no longer invisible. It’s the cultural center. Communities share responsibility and ritual, aided by reflective tech.
A Major Crisis Overcome:
Collapse of meaning and attention in the early 2030s. Rebalanced by a slow tech renaissance.
Why Is This a Desirable Existential Hope Future for Humanity?
Because not all futures are about acceleration. Some are about remembering what we already knew.
Self-Critique: What Might Make This Harder Than It Seems?
Hard to protect threadtime from commercial interests or surveillance creep.
