KNOWLEDGE CORE

One theoretical chain,
eleven canonical concepts

Ontology

Artificial Nature

인공자연

Artificial Nature denotes a state of being in which technological realities built by humans cease to remain external tools and become environmental conditions within which human sensation, cognition, judgment, relations, and action take place.
Aesthetics

Artura

아투라

Artura is a relational and processual aesthetic value that manifests when a new arrangement of sensation, judgment, and concepts emerges through dialogical resonance between human and nonhuman actors in a process of technological generation.
Civilization

Mechanocene

기계세

The Mechanocene is a phase of technocivilizational transition in which technological environments built by humans acquire relative operational autonomy upon material substrates and sociotechnical organization, and asymmetrically condition human possibilities of sensation, cognition, judgment, and action by datafying, arranging, and feeding back human behavior.
Media history

Age of Technological Generation

기술생성시대

The Age of Technological Generation is an era in which the continual production of new expressions, meanings, and possibilities through interactions between humans and nonhuman computational systems becomes a central operating principle of media culture, beyond the reproduction of existing objects or the editing of human-produced materials.
Operations

Operational Autonomy

작동적 자율성

Operational autonomy is the relative autonomy through which a technological system, while dependent upon human purposes and institutional conditions, operates by automation, accumulation, repetition, and feedback in ways that cannot be fully reduced to an individual human being’s present will or direct command.
Relations

Friction Transparency

마찰의 투명성

Friction Transparency is a relational and design principle that does not unconditionally eliminate discrepancies, uncertainties, and conflicts arising in human–technology interaction, but reveals where and why they occur so that human beings can perceive and interpret them.
Subjectivity

WE — Whole Emergent

공진주체 WE

WE is an evental relational unit that emerges as a temporary form of subjectivity when human and nonhuman actors transform one another’s conditions of judgment through sustained recursive interaction and the relation itself becomes irreducible to its individual components.
Methodology

Non-positionedness

무입장성

Non-positionedness is a methodological discipline that does not preemptively install humans, machines, algorithms, or interfaces as the ontological center or superior actor prior to analysis, but first traces relations and then judges the asymmetries of power, control, risk, and responsibility actually revealed within them.
Practice

Eco-Digital

에코 디지털

Eco-Digital is a practical humanities that understands matter, energy, data, algorithms, sensation, relations, and responsibility as a single ecological chain within Artificial Nature, where technology has already become the human environment, and seeks to redesign that environment for coexistence.
AI model

PLM

PLM

A Personal Language Model (PLM) is a relational language model in which human language, memory, values, and judgment interact with a language model over time and recursively update the conditions of human self-understanding and meaning-making beyond simple personalization.
Poetics

Poetics of Technological Generation

기술생성시학

The Poetics of Technological Generation is an analytical system that extends existing narrative poetics to explain how narratives in generative AI and interactive digital media are not completed as a single fixed text but generated, selected, revised, regenerated, branched, and explored.
