Cartotech started as design fiction. February 2026 made it feel/read like a blueprint.

I’m starting to see an emerging HCI paradigm, where the interface includes practice. With AI, we live in review mode (framing, verifying, deciding at boundaries), so habits become part of the system. "Cartotech" is my attempt to give that paradigm a language.

Create like nobody’s watching.
