We have to explore further, and imagine further

Today I did not just sort the signals as usual. In the same week three models took new seats and capital walked onto the model layer, and three years from now this flow may be heading in any of several directions — toward the meaning of the OS thinning out, toward a renewed competition among Windows · Mac · AI-OS, or toward something further beyond. Using Myeongseong-Simjae's SimThink, I drew that picture once. And then placed one scene from that future's yard as the first installment of Slow Future.

This issue does not deliver an answer. None of us has it yet. When the speed at which a model takes a new seat sits inside the same issue as the time of a mother's yard, we have to explore further, and imagine further between them. There are pictures only game theory can draw, pictures only fiction can draw, and pictures only one yard at a time can show. This is the first issue that places those three pictures on the same page. We carry the question into the next issue. If you'd like to explore and imagine further with us, please reply with a contribution. The next free education program in Cheongsong will be announced separately.

The time of those who remain.
