June was the Lab’s figure-and-ground month. What entered the sessions as a borrowing from art theory — Rubin’s reversible vase, Gestalt, notan — was worked steadily downward into perceptual physiology and then outward into a question nobody expected at the start: what is headset work actually for? By the month’s end the Lab had an answer… Continue reading June ’26 Recap

July ’26 Journal Recap
July was the month the Lab’s centre of gravity shifted from talking about building to building while talking. Across the four sessions — 6, 13, 21 and 27 July — a single arc is visible: the cost of turning an idea into working software collapsed, and the conversation reorganised itself around what that makes possible… Continue reading July ’26 Journal Recap

AI : Summary This session combined three intertwined demonstrations with a wide-ranging discussion on spatializing knowledge. First-time participant Benja demonstrated a prototype writing tool that visualizes deeply nested parenthetical clauses as stacked layers, addressing working-memory limits in complex prose. This was followed by a Game of Life knowledge-sculpture prototype for visionOS and a demonstration of a live Earth-and-space environment… Continue reading 3 August ’26

Knowledge Objects in a Vibe World AI: Summary The session opened with a live walkthrough of building, running and notarising a native application by conversing with Claude inside Xcode, followed by a demonstration of an existing globe and solar-system app on Vision Pro, and then turned into a sustained inquiry into what a personal knowledge space should actually contain… Continue reading 27 July ’26

AI: Summary The session centered on how conversational coding inside a native development environment has collapsed the cost and effort of making bespoke software, letting non-programmers prototype working tools for their own letters, notes, and knowledge simply by writing prose — and on what that means for a community of text and hypertext researchers who… Continue reading 21 July ’26

Mohit Technical Presentation & Frode XR Presentations Two presentations to kick of general dialog.
13 July
The ‘vibe’ of knowledge – Intro We now have LLM’s helping us code inside our coding environment. Frode Hegland has started working with Claude in Xcode and found it surprisingly powerful and is therefore working on an app (open source, free, available and documented, with easy ways to add custom views). The app is based… Continue reading 13 July

Elements, Connections AI: Summary This session explored what the fundamental elements of a spatial knowledge environment should be, launched by an AI-assisted inquiry into neuroscience and psychology which concluded that connections, not objects, are the primary units of thought. The conversation wove through the reconstructive nature of memory, the failure of education systems to teach… Continue reading 6 July 2026

(Future Text Lab — 29 June 2026) [Intro — bass walks in, brushes] [Female]Frode filmed an Apple vision Pro session over coffee with Jon —the nodes have colour now, and text on either end. The knowledge sculpture’s finished? No — that statue’s gone cold;the worth of all this space is the part not yet controlled.Claude… Continue reading 29 June ’26 lyrics

Where We Started The month opened with Dave Millard’s guest session, written up on 1 May, exploring AI as a spatial co-agent reached through MCP. The first Monday session on 4 May centred on a live demo of Author on Vision Pro alongside the maturing Origami Text format. Origami Text was framed as a publish-only successor to PDF — not a replacement for Word documents —… Continue reading May ’26
