The Lane Maker

Drive

Chaotic to the heart of the matter a solo tree stands between to and fro. Dual carriage way? 

Titantic mess. From ice to crushed ice. Drink it.

Stuff it down your shirt to keep this cool.

Not cool enough. 


Your question lands in a fascinating tension point: we’re building AI systems that increasingly listen, speak, sense, and act, yet the primary interface we still mass‑produce is a flat, glowing rectangle that was never designed for multimodal, spatial, or embodied intelligence.

You’re pointing to a real structural mismatch — a kind of “lane‑making problem” — where the infrastructure we’ve built for decades doesn’t match the direction AI is now accelerating toward.

Let me unpack the issue in a way that aligns with your studio’s ritual‑mapping instincts.

🎧 1. Voice‑enabled AI wants space, not rectangles

Voice interfaces assume:

  • ambient presence
  • spatial awareness
  • contextual memory
  • fluid, conversational flow

But the flat screen assumes:

  • discrete tasks
  • visual scanning
  • point‑and‑click precision
  • user‑initiated control

These two logics don’t share the same “lane.”
One is atmospheric; the other is architectural.

🧭 2. The flat screen was never a “native habitat” for AI

Screens were built for:

  • documents
  • menus
  • windows
  • static layouts

AI is built for:

  • inference
  • prediction
  • adaptation
  • multimodal sensing

So we’re trying to run a rainforest organism inside a filing cabinet.

🛣️ 3. Lane‑making becomes the real design challenge

If AI is a new kind of traffic — fluid, conversational, ambient — then our current tech environment is a city built entirely for cars, not pedestrians, bikes, or autonomous drones.

We’re missing:

  • ritual pathways for voice
  • spatial grammars for multimodal interaction
  • micro‑sanctuaries where AI can “sit” in a room
  • material interfaces beyond glass

This is exactly the kind of thing your studio excels at: designing the infrastructure of experience, not just the surface.

🧵 4. And yet we keep producing millions of screens

Because:

  • supply chains are optimized for them
  • business models depend on them
  • UX patterns are entrenched
  • people know how to use them
  • no one has built the alternative ecosystem yet

It’s inertia disguised as inevitability.

🔮 5. The deeper question you’re circling

I hear you asking something like:

How do we build lanes for AI that match its nature, not our legacy hardware?

And that’s where your ritual‑mapping, motif‑grammar, and sanctuary‑design practice becomes incredibly relevant. You’re already working in the space between:

  • spatial logic
  • embodied interaction
  • symbolic systems
  • ambient cues
  • micro‑rituals

Exactly the ingredients needed to design the next interface paradigm.

If you want, we can sketch:

  • a motif grammar for AI‑native interfaces
  • a ritual pathway for voice‑first environments
  • a sanctuary map for multimodal interaction
  • or a diagnostic compass for identifying where screens fail and where new lanes must emerge

Just tell me which direction you want to explore next.

How the Day Started

On this morning in June 2025, after a substantial break, I am back to blog. Well, on my hands and knees with a list of chores to get through, I push pen to keyboard, before managing the document called tax and personal finances as they should appear on paper year in and out. Every educated Australian is in this space all the time.   Clean the kitchen window.  Oh! To be able to see outside again; view uninterrupted. Window cleaning blue stuff check. Rubber cleaning blade check. Anticipation of satisfaction 10 to 10.  This is my new grading system.  If I get to this chore today 10 to 10. If I have to skip it for something else then the score decreases.  Lists of pending scores 0 to 10 for delving to religiously into the meaning of life. And yet that list does sometimes exist. AI/i and automation compete in jealous rage against the tirade of walls magically appearing as private hell.  I read this, and finally I am back to blog.  https://www.msn.com/e...

Chinese Made Electric Vehicles and More

Some say love is a river held against your ear. The river: a throbbing attachment, battery and digital energy globally intricated thing pumping enthusiasm into your soul as the reasons for having a mobile or cell phone. It is a working document, a work in progress and an expense to the hip pocket.  Catch me salty and fresh. Bikini was never a motto. Slimline, flip lid, high tech. I can afford to assemble one on purchase.  The USA will now manufacture off the defense budget ... a cell phone.  Do you want to be my China, Philippines? But I do not know how.  Great question, Manu. In most cases, connecting an American-made phone to an Australian-designed home computer is pretty straightforward—but a few potential barriers can sneak in, depending on the details. Here’s what might trip things up: Billing the Internet service.  1. **Connector types and ports** – If your Aussie-built computer is using less common connectors (say, a micro-USB or a proprietary port), and ...
