Intellectual Grid

The map behind the author's work.

Concepts, sources, frameworks and connected writing for readers who want to go deeper into the intellectual territory.

Not a bibliography. A living map of the ideas that organise the work.

Concept map

Five territories. Infinite connections.

Each node in the grid connects to essays, books and external sources. The grid is the architecture made visible.

The first human system affected by AI intimacy. How domestic life is the primary site where algorithms meet childhood.

Not spectacle but an everyday force entering home life through recommendation, automation and ambient intelligence.

The central architecture beneath safety, learning and child development. Trust precedes technology in every family system.

The resource that algorithmic systems are optimised to capture. How attention shapes development and how development shapes attention.

The developmental period most affected by the attention economy. What childhood requires that algorithmic environments do not provide.

The fragile bridge between children, parents and invisible systems. What makes a platform trustworthy from a parent's perspective.

Psychological steadiness in a culture that keeps asking for reaction. The capacity to function well in high-novelty environments.

What must remain human when machines become ordinary companions. The capacities that cannot be automated and why they matter.
