Digital Umwelt

A user-governed layer translating between a person and interchangeable applications and AI models.

The question

Can personal computing be organised around personally meaningful perception, attention and intention rather than around software categories?

The system or construction

The Digital Umwelt is a persistent, user-governed membrane between a person and interchangeable applications or AI models. It translates digital events into meaningful perception, attention, intention and governed action.

What exists

A master implementation plan and a functioning personal cognitive architecture on which the membrane is being developed.

Limits

This is active research and development, not a finished product.
