Innovation Briefs
Research provocations and field-building proposals for somatic AI, embodied interaction and creative technology.
The Choice Set: A Somatic Counterfactual Editor for Testing What a Movement Must Preserve
What if the most useful output from a movement model were not its best answer, but three defensible alternatives that force a practitioner to discover what they meant?
The Anticipatory Duet: A Reactive Movement Partner Conditioned on Pre-Movement Intention
What if the AI didn't just move with you — but moved as if it could feel you about to move?
The Co-Contraction Channel: Using Antagonist Muscle Balance as a Direct Conditioning Signal for Generative Movement
What if the AI could read the difference between a held gesture and a released one — directly from the muscles, in real time?
The Pre-Movement Window: An EMG Pre-Activation Interface for Anticipatory Somatic-AI Conditioning
Every movement you make is preceded by a signal you cannot consciously observe: an electromyographic (EMG) burst in the muscles involved, firing 50 to 200 milliseconds before visible movement begins. This is the pre-activation window — the nervous system's instruction to the body that precedes its e…
Learning the Singular Body: A Methodology for Kinesthetic Calibration in Generative AI Systems
No prior memory exists for this project. I'll write from the brief and system context directly.
