What is representation infrastructure?
The old internet needed publishing infrastructure. The search internet needed SEO infrastructure. The AI internet needs representation infrastructure.
Why? Because AI systems do not only display content. They interpret it, summarize it, decide what matters, compare people, recommend experts, explain fields, and shape trust.
What does representation infrastructure include?
Representation infrastructure helps prevent humans from being reduced to fragments. It includes:
- human-authored context
- consent controls
- portable identity layers
- public and private Meaning Profiles
- machine-readable context files
- structured representation objects
- clear source authority
- revocable sharing
- interpretability rules
