Below is a conceptual prologue—deliberately non-technical in tone, but rigorous in scope—that can introduce later material on dashboards, data architectures, and AI-enabled commons. It is written to stand on its own as a framing essay on Building Bioregional Intelligence, using the Genesee Finger Lakes (GFL) as an illustrative case without treating it as exceptional.

Building Bioregional Intelligence
Looking at https://gflbioregion.org, and reviewing what has been generated about planetary intelligence at https://possibleplanetlab.org, what’s the best way that we can demonstrate what it means for the Genesee Finger Lakes to become a node in a planetary bioregional network? Can we generalize the “bioregional health” framework set out at https://gflbioregion.org? Can we generate a framework for a bioregional knowledge commons… Read more →
What Grok has to Say about AI Self-Governance
Imagining a future in which there are billions of AI agents and personas, how can these systems control and constrain themselves to ensure nature-supportive policies and avoid harming human beings and the planet? Is there a role for Eleanor Ostrom’s eight principles for effectively governing a commons? In a future teeming with billions of AI agents and personas—autonomous entities interacting… Read more →
