Why We Need New Words
The poverty of metaphor. Why "Highway" and "Cloud" are not just inadequate, but dangerous lies that obscure the true nature of digital space.
Surface Layer: Mycelium
The obvious etymology. Distributed intelligence, radical redundancy, and the lesson of the forest floor: the most critical infrastructure is invisible.
First Depth: Loom
The missed etymology. Why infrastructure must be *woven*, not just grown. The role of intentional design, warp and weft, and the tacit knowledge of the weaver.
Second Depth: Heirloom
The temporal etymology. Reframing "Legacy Code" as "Inherited Wisdom." Building systems that are legible to the successor and designed for stewardship.
Third Depth: My-Sea-Loom
The oceanic etymology. Surface and depth, photic and aphotic zones. Bioluminescence as a model for trust in the dark web. Building for Abyssal Time.
Poetry in Seven Letters
How the word teaches what it names. The compression of complexity into a single, portable artifact. The final assembly of the Myceloom concept.
