Apple's latest Photos app updates bring a new level of AI powered editing directly into the iPhone experience, including tools for spatial reframing, extending the edges of an image, and removing more complex distractions with Cleanup. In this interview, Apple's camera team explains how these features use depth estimation, Gaussian splatting, private cloud compute, and new image models to make advanced edits feel simple while still preserving the original photo as much as possible. The conversation also covers Apple's approach to privacy, its collaboration with Google on model foundations, and the use of metadata and SynthID watermarking to identify AI generated edits.

In this episode of The Marketing Rapport, host Tim Finnigan sits down with Lÿden Foust, CEO of Spatial.ai, a company that has spent 10 years building behavioral segmentation that goes far beyond demographics. The central argument of the episode is simple and disruptive: the assumptions brands make about their customers based on age, income, and zip code are the things everyone already knows. Competitive advantage comes from understanding what people actually do, where they spend, what they follow, where their phones go, and that requires a fundamentally different approach to segmentation.The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed are those of the speaker and do not necessarily represent the views, thoughts, and opinions of ActiveProspect.

In episode 666 of the New Media Show, hosted by 2017 Podcast Hall of Famer Rob Greenlee, Rob talks with Greg Wasserman, Head of Relationships at RSS.com and host of Podcast Network Insights, for a deep conversation about one of the biggest questions facing podcasting, video, creator media, and digital networks right now: Podcast networks were originally built for an audio-first industry, but audiences have already moved the definition of a podcast beyond audio. Today, a podcast can be a YouTube show, a Spotify video, an Apple video podcast, a livestream, a short clip, a newsletter, a community, or part of a larger creator-led media brand. Greg brings a unique perspective from his work at RSS.com and from interviewing the leaders behind podcast networks, collectives, production companies, and niche media groups on Podcast Network Insights. He explains that podcast networks are no longer one simple model. Some are media-sales businesses. Some are community-driven groups. Some operate more like production companies, collectives, or full creator networks. Rob and Greg explore how the network model is shifting as video, live streaming, AI, Apple Podcasts, HLS video, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, FAST channels, private communities, and creator monetization reshape what podcasting can become. The conversation also asks whether independent podcasters should join networks, what creators need to understand before making that decision, and why the future may depend less on downloads alone and more on trust, audience relationships, collaboration, niche value, and direct monetization. 00:00 Welcome to New Media Show #666 00:32 Are podcast networks becoming creator networks? 01:00 How audiences have already redefined podcasting 02:00 Introducing Greg Wasserman from RSS.com 03:00 Why Greg created Podcast Network Insights 04:00 How different podcast networks define community 05:00 Monetization, growth, and the changing role of networks 06:00 Internal network community vs audience community 07:00 Private communities, subscriptions, and audience relationships 08:00 Nova Podcast Network and media-company network models 09:00 Cross-promotion and collaboration inside networks 10:00 Are creators returning to collaboration? 11:00 Podcast networks as media companies 13:00 Owned-and-operated shows vs independent rev-share shows 15:00 Why ad revenue is not the only network business model 16:00 Marketing Podcast Network and niche value 17:00 Jay Shetty, Netflix, and platform exclusivity 18:00 Is Netflix becoming a podcast network? 19:00 Collectives, media companies, and different network definitions 20:00 What is a podcast network today? 21:00 Production companies and network partnerships 23:00 How creators should decide whether to join a network 24:00 Understanding your “why” before joining a network 25:00 iHeart, ad inventory, and the volume-based network model 26:00 Why sponsor status can distract from real monetization 27:00 Does network branding still matter? 28:00 Pineapple Street, GZM, Disney, and network identity 30:00 MCNs, YouTube networks, and the return of multi-channel networks 31:00 Silicon Valley, new media networks, and digital-native media 34:00 Traditional media adopts podcasting, video, and companion content 35:00 Apple Podcasts HLS video as a future distribution channel 36:00 Why video attracts higher media dollars 37:00 Know, like, and trust as a creator value 38:00 Will Apple Podcasts HLS video matter? 39:00 Free platforms, hidden costs, and creator control 41:00 Future ad dashboards across Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and Twitch 42:00 Platform exclusivity, Jay Shetty, Joe Rogan, and audience loss 44:00 Creator hustle and why networks cannot do all the work 46:00 Subscription fatigue and fragmented media access 47:00 More than 20 ways creators can make money 48:00 Lean creator teams, production help, and content scale 49:00 How podcast networks are using AI 50:00 AI-generated voices, sleep content, and audience behavior 52:00 AI for ads, scripts, show notes, social, and workflows 53:00 AI podcast networks and automated show creation 54:00 Agentic workflows and creator production systems 56:00 AI-generated content, humanity, and audience trust 57:00 Algorithms, AI interfaces, and future discovery 58:00 Platform algorithm changes and creator risk 59:00 Human connection, live events, and AI video podcasts 01:00:00 Why human storytelling still matters 01:01:00 Could creators build AI clones of themselves? 01:02:00 Avatars, HeyGen, Gemini, and disclosure 01:03:00 Human-hosted content labels and AI transparency 01:04:00 Video-first creators and separate audio/video feeds 01:05:00 Why The New Media Show still uses separate audio and video feeds 01:06:00 Audio-first creators, social media, and growth challenges 01:07:00 Different networks play different games 01:08:00 The future of compelling audio experiences 01:09:00 Spatial audio, AI audio, and interactive media 01:10:00 Personalized audience experiences and liquid content 01:11:00 Can audiences be moved from YouTube to Netflix? 01:12:00 Bundling, subscriptions, and platform experiments 01:15:00 Algorithms vs human curation 01:16:00 Netflix, FAST channels, and new distribution models 01:17:00 The technology challenge behind FAST channels 01:23:00 Greg's Tesla and the future of in-car video podcast listening 01:24:00 RSS.com, Podcasting 2.0, and AI labeling standards 01:25:00 Closing thoughts and where podcasting is heading Guest and Host Links Guest: Greg Wasserman Head of Relationships at RSS.com and host of Podcast Network Insights RSS.com: https://rss.com Greg Wasserman at RSS.com: https://rss.com/blog/greg-wasserman/ Podcast Network Insights: https://rss.com/podcasts/podcast-network-insights/ Greg Wasserman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregwasserman Host: Rob Greenlee New Media Show: https://newmediashow.com Rob Greenlee: https://robgreenlee.com Podcast Hall of Fame: https://podcasthall.com Rob Greenlee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robgreenlee Rob Greenlee Booking: https://calendly.com/robgreenlee About the Host/Author: Rob Greenlee is a 2017 Podcast Hall of Fame inductee and Chair, a global new-media leader who bridges podcasting's human roots and its AI-driven future.

Learn how NFL defenses structurally adapt to four-down territory by shifting from high red zone match brackets to low red zone fence concepts. Explore the spatial and data-driven realities that force the extinction of split-field coverage inside the 14-yard line.—In this episode:The Four-Point Play Philosophy: Inside the 25-yard line, a defense's ultimate objective is to limit the offense to a field goal, securing a critical four-point swing in four-down territory.Spatial and Box Density Shift: As the field compresses below the 25-yard line, vertical burst is eliminated, forcing offenses to operate horizontally and allowing defenses to load the box.Personnel Transitions: Nickel remains the primary package down to the 15-yard line, but crossing into the low red zone causes nickel usage to drop below 50% as heavy base and goal-line packages take over to counter the condensed run game.The Disappearance of Split-Field Coverage: Traditional split-field coverages virtually vanish inside the 10-yard line, replaced by cover zero and bracket concepts that account for over 60% of low red zone defensive calls.Bracket vs. Fence Logic: Defensive adjustments are tiered by field position; the high red zone (25–15) focuses on technique manipulation and target brackets, whereas the low red zone (14–5) demands a total schematic shift to “fence” and “waterfall” concepts to protect the pylons.—Timestamps:00:00 - Red Zone Realities: Defining the Four-Point Play02:59 - High Red, Low Red, and Goal Line Boundaries04:13 - Spatial Metrics and Box Density in Four-Down Territory06:56 - Personnel Allocation: The Longevity of Nickel and Rise of Heavy Base10:22 - Elite Film Studies: Analyzing the Saints and Jesse Minter's Chargers11:29 - Hybrid Personnel and the Value of the Modern Box Safety13:16 - High Red DB Technique: Playing the Man16:00 - The Data Shift: Why Traditional Split-Field Coverages Disappear20:55 - Building Triangles and Brackets Against 2x2 Open Space23:33 - Low Red Fence Logic: Breakdowns of "Turkey" and "Waterfall" Rules31:43 - Slingshot Motions and Jet Sweep Leverage Mismatches36:55 - Basketball Bunches and Sideline-Out Geometry42:24 - NFC North vs. NFC West45:13 - Mike Macdonald and Raheem Morris Schematic Horizons48:46 - Previewing Part 2: Blitzing Constraints and the Shrunk Run Game—» Join Felix and Cody each Wednesday as we dive deep into the game we love!MatchQuarters is a reader-supported publication.

Quinn and Isaac dive into one of their favorite topics to talk about… other people a) not being aware of their surroundings and b) not acting the way they want them to act.

Series: Walking WiselyTitle: "How to Walk God's Way in God's World"Scripture: Proverbs 3:1-12 NIV James 1:5-6Hebrews 11:6 "Without faith [trust] it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." NIVishBottom line: Wisdom is learning to walk in God's way (aka wisely) in God's world. INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTOUTLINECONCLUSIONDISCUSSION QUESTIONSNOTESYOUTUBE DESCRIPTIONMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. Bottom line: Wisdom is learning to walk in God's way (aka wisely) in God's world. OPENING STORYA few years ago, our youth group had Pastor Ed Newton speak to them at camp. They loved him! Well, I at some point started following him on Twitter (back then) but X and had saved this tweet/post in my files. This was his quote:"God's will? Find where you have been given favor, then follow favor, then be faithful to the place that God gave you favor!"So this resonated with me. So I posted a question asking him the source of that inspiration. He replied Proverbs 3. "Over the past several months, we walked through Book of Genesis in our series God's Promises, Our Journey.In Genesis, we watched God call imperfect people to trust Him with their future:Abraham leaving home not knowing where he was goingIsaac learning to trust God's covenant promisesBut that raises an important question:How do we actually walk that journey day by day?That is where Book of Proverbs comes in.If Genesis teaches us to trust God with the big story of our lives, Proverbs teaches us how to walk wisely with God in everyday life.Proverbs is not primarily a book of random sayings or good advice. It is a father teaching his children how to live skillfully in God's world.Wisdom in Proverbs is not merely intelligence, information, or success. Wisdom is learning to see life from God's perspective and walk in God's ways.At the center of Proverbs is this foundational truth:“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” (Proverbs 1:7)In other words: true wisdom begins with a right relationship with God.That is why Proverbs 3:5–6 is one of the most loved and well-known passages in the Bible. It speaks directly into moments of uncertainty, transition, decision-making, and future direction.And that makes this passage especially fitting today as we celebrate our graduates.Many of them are standing at a major crossroads:decisions about schoolworkrelationshipscallingidentityfuture directionAnd Proverbs reminds all of us — graduates and non-graduates alike — that our greatest need is not simply a good plan, but wholehearted trust in God." -ChatGPTWe just spend 9 weeks learning that our journey is shaped by our belief/unbelief in God's promises. We said that God's promises (rightly believed) shape our journey for good.Proverbs 3 seems like the next right step. Why? Because it tells us how to walk God's way in God's world. Our journey.“Wisdom is where knowledge and love kiss each other.”“Power is simply operating in Christ's authority with his resources.”Father (King Solomon) is discipling his Prince son. Parents, are you paying attention here?“Genesis showed us God's promises in the journey. Proverbs teaches us how to walk wisely in that journey.” -ChatGPTOrBottom line: Wisdom is learning to walk in God's way (aka wisely) in God's world. CONTEXTWhat are the key traits of the book of Proverbs?"Proverbs as wisdom literature" #wisdom #promises"Solomon/father-to-son framework" #relationships #discipleship"Fear of the Lord theme""Connection to Jesus as wisdom incarnate" #incarnation-ChatGPT"We're in Proverbs and that means wisdom literature. Why does that matter? Well, we read wisdom literature differently from other types of literature like narrative or didactic. Wisdom literature often communicates general patterns.Gospel and covenant texts often communicate definitive redemptive promises.In other words, Proverbs teaches us the normal pathways of wisdom. Jesus announces the guaranteed promises of the kingdom."-ChatGPTGenesis showed us Abraham learning to trust God's audible voice with the big story of their lives. Proverbs teaches us how to walk wisely with God's written word in everyday decisions.“This is generally true now and will always prove true later.” -Daniel Akin"Proverbs describes the normal moral order of God's world,but the fullness of these blessings is ultimately eschatological." -ChatGPTBottom line: Wisdom is learning to walk in God's way (aka wisely) in God's world. OUTLINE (influenced by Danny Akin)In the early 90s, Anita and I lived in Tampa Florida. Our time included joining Bell Shoals Baptist Church, where I was baptized. This is where I responded to Ministry. This is where I heard the preaching of Danny Akin for the first. I had never heard preaching like this before. It so impressed and influenced me that summer, that I went to the seminar where he was Dean of students. (SEBTS) He's now the president of the seminary. Today's outline is influenced by him and his son's efforts in a commentary I read this past week.I. We Should Keep the Covenant PROVERBS 3:1,3,5,7,9The odd verses give the obligations that we are called to live up to if weare in a covenant relationship with the Lord. II. God Blesses Covenant-Keepers PROVERBS 3:2,4,6,8,10The even verses give the divine partner's obligations. III. This Is Generally True Now and Will Always Prove True LaterProverbs 3:11-12The proverbs are generally true now, but they are always ultimately true.IV. Jesus Kept the Covenant for You"The good news is that he represents us before the Father in this covenant relationship. He lived up to our obligations for us, and thenhe took the curses of covenant breaking in our place." -Daniel AkinCONCLUSIONBottom line: Wisdom is learning to walk in God's way (aka wisely) in God's world. From ChatGPT:The Pilot Through the Clouds (Excellent for “straight paths”)One of the most dangerous moments for a pilot is flying through thick clouds without visual reference points.Everything in the body starts lying:up feels down,left feels right,motion feels still.Pilots are trained not to trust their feelings in that moment. They must trust the instruments.Some pilots have crashed perfectly good airplanes because they trusted their instincts more than the guidance system.Proverbs 3 says: “Lean not on your own understanding.”There will be seasons where:your emotions will mislead you,your instincts will fail you,your understanding will be incomplete.In those moments, wisdom means trusting the Lord more than yourself.I found the incident you're referring to, though the pilot's name appears to have been spelled Vinson Kyle Perdue in newspaper reporting, not “Purdue.” The crash occurred in August 1981 near Dorchester Road in the Summerville area. What I could verify:He was a young Air Force pilot from Summerville.The jet crashed during a routine training mission near Dorchester Road.The crash happened close to the Kings Grant area you mentioned. I could not verify from available sources that vertigo/disorientation was officially determined as the cause, though your memory of local reporting may absolutely be correct. Spatial disorientation/vertigo is a well-known factor in military aviation crashes, especially during instrument conditions.For sermon purposes, I would be careful not to state definitively:“The crash was officially caused by vertigo…”unless you locate a direct source confirming that.But you can still use the illustration powerfully and honestly by framing it like this:When I was growing up in Summerville, there was a military jet crash near Dorchester Road across from Kings Grant where we lived.I still remember how sobering that was as a kid.And one of the things pilots are trained to understand is that when visibility disappears and disorientation sets in, your senses can begin lying to you.Up can feel down. Motion can feel still. Your instincts can become dangerous.That's why pilots are trained to trust their instruments more than their feelings.Proverbs 3 says something very similar spiritually:“Lean not on your own understanding.”There are moments in life where:your emotions will mislead you,your instincts will fail you,your understanding will be incomplete.Wisdom means learning to trust God more than yourself.That keeps:the local authenticity,the emotional weight,the aviation imagery,and the pastoral application—without overstating what can be historically verified.And honestly, because this is tied to your own childhood memory in Summerville, it will likely land much harder emotionally than a generic illustration ever could.From Claude.aiWhat Was Found on Vinson Kyle PerdueThe primary verified source is a newspaper clipping from The Greenville News, dated August 26, 1981 — a clipping published in The Greenville News on August 26, 1981, mentioning Vinson Kyle Perdue in Greenville, South Carolina. That confirms the name spelling (Perdue, not Purdue) and the August 1981 date align with newspaper reporting. The Newspapers.com record exists but sits behind a paywall, so the full text of the article wasn't accessible — which means we can confirm existence of reporting but not the article's specific content on cause of death.No publicly accessible official USAF accident investigation report for this specific crash surfaced. The Aviation Archaeological Investigation & Research database (which houses USAF accident reports from that era) exists but didn't return this specific crash in searches.Bottom line on the Perdue crash: Name, date, and general location are confirmed by newspaper record. Cause of death (vertigo/spatial disorientation) remains your childhood memory of local reporting — plausible and consistent with the era, but not independently verifiable from open sources right now.What Was Found on Spatial Disorientation — and Why It Strengthens Your IllustrationThis is where the research gets genuinely useful for your sermon. The data on spatial disorientation (SD) as a cause of military aviation fatalities is extensive and striking:• Spatial disorientation accounted for 11% of all USAF crashes, with a crash fatality rate of 69% — and the SD rate was significantly higher in fighter/attack aircraft and helicopters than in training and transport aircraft. At night, 23% of all crashes were SD-caused. • Even as overall military aviation accidents per flight hour decreased dramatically from 1958–1992, the rate of SD-caused crashes remained nearly constant — actually increasing as a percentage of all crashes, from 6% in 1958–1971 to 16% in 1972–1992. Technology didn't solve it. The problem is human physiology.• Over a 21-year period (FY1993–2013), there were 72 spatial disorientation mishaps in the USAF, resulting in the loss of 101 lives, 65 aircraft, and $2.32 billion.Spatial disorientation occurs when a pilot's response to false sensations — of attitude, motion, velocity, acceleration, or position — causes the pilot to misinterpret his or her position in flight relative to the earth or other aircraft. The instruments tell the truth. The pilot's body lies to him.How This Serves the SermonYou don't need the Perdue crash to be officially documented as an SD case to use SD as the theological hinge of your illustration. Here's why: the statistics above are so overwhelming that you can say with complete accuracy:“Spatial disorientation — where a pilot's senses tell him up is down and motion is stillness — is one of the leading causes of military aviation fatalities. The pilot feels completely confident. His body is lying to him. That's why pilots are trained to trust their instruments over their instincts.”Then the transition to Proverbs 3 is natural and devastating: “Lean not on your own understanding” isn't just piety — it's survival logic. The human perceptual system is not reliable in conditions of low visibility and high stress. Neither is the unregenerate heart.The local crash becomes the emotional anchor. The SD research data gives it theological weight that doesn't depend on what you can or can't verify about that specific August morning in 1981.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​PrayQuestions (Write this down) - grab an index card and penWhat is God saying to you right now?

What if your home is holding you back instead of moving you forward? For many homeowners, spaces are designed for who they were, not who they are becoming.  Vera Blouin, founder of BLOU INK, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum to explain how intentional home design rooted in spatial psychology and identity-based design can reshape not only a space but also daily habits, mindset and personal growth. Blouin challenges traditional design norms and offers a more strategic, human-centered approach to creating environments that evolve alongside the people who live in them.  What Is “Spatial Dissonance” and Why Does It Matter?  Blouin introduces the concept of “spatial dissonance,” a feeling many homeowners experience but struggle to define.  “Spatial dissonance is the in-between space of who you were and who you're becoming, and it's actually a powerful place to be,” Blouin said.  Rather than signaling a need to start over or to hold on to the past, this moment reflects personal evolution. The issue is not the belongings themselves but the mismatch between a person's current identity and their environment.  “Your home is still holding on to a different season of life,” Blouin said.  Identity-Based Design: Moving Beyond Aesthetics  BLOU INK challenges conventional home design by shifting the focus away from finishes, furniture and visual trends. Design begins with a foundational question: who the homeowner is today, and who they are becoming next?  Through identity-based design, Blouin aligns physical environments with personal evolution, transforming a home from a static backdrop into an active system that can either reinforce old habits or support new ones. This approach moves design beyond aesthetics and into behavioral and psychological territory.  “When I walk into a client's home, I'm not asking, ‘What's your design style?' I can figure that out,” Blouin said. “What I'm really looking for is who are you becoming, and is your environment currently supporting that?”  Blouin designs with daily life in mind, including how people move through rooms, start and end their days and experience focus, rest and intention. In this framework, design focuses less on visual harmony and more on functional alignment between environment and identity.  How Spatial Psychology Shapes Daily Life  Blouin's work is grounded in spatial psychology, the study of how physical environments influence human behavior. Even small design choices can affect productivity and stress levels. For example, a desk facing a wall with no natural light can create mental blocks, while repositioning it toward a window can improve clarity and focus.  The Hidden Impact of Clutter and Layout  “Clutter isn't physical… it's a signal of what's going on mentally,” said Blouin.  What homeowners often label as “mess” is actually a visible expression of cognitive overload. When a space feels disorganized, it often reflects how information, stress and priorities are processed internally.  Layout plays an equally important role in shaping daily experience. Furniture placement, traffic flow and spatial barriers all influence how easily someone moves through their home and completes routine tasks. Even small disruptions can introduce friction that accumulates over time, subtly affecting focus and energy.  In this framework, organization focuses less on visual tidiness and more on removing obstacles that interfere with how people live. Blouin describes this process as eliminating unnecessary “blocks” in the environment that slow down momentum and reduce clarity.  “Reincarnating” a Room: Letting Go to Move Forward  In her book, The Reincarnated Room, Blouin expands on the idea of design as a tool for personal transformation. She compares the process to a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly and emphasizes the importance of embracing discomfort and uncertainty.  “It isn't about making it prettier. It's about allowing it to become something entirely new,” Blouin said.  Designing for Life Transitions  Career changes, growing families, relocations, empty nesting or lifestyle shifts often surface the same realization: the home no longer functions the way life now demands.   When identity shifts, the environment must also shift to remain supportive. Without that adjustment, homes can begin to feel misaligned, still organized around routines, priorities and emotional needs that no longer exist. Homeowners can use this transition as a diagnostic moment to decide what happens next.  Instead of rushing to fix a space during moments of change, homeowners gain clarity by allowing the home to reveal what needs to evolve. Over time, this leads to environments that not only accommodate life transitions but actively support them.  “Home shouldn't just hold your life, it should move you forward,” Blouin said.  By integrating spatial psychology and identity-based design, BLOU INK helps homeowners and industry professionals rethink how spaces shape behavior, mindset and daily life. The firm's approach reframes home design as a tool for personal growth and long-term alignment. To learn more about BLOU INK, visit https://BLOUINK.com/.

Hello Interactors,It's been a while. Traveling for family, and a bit flooded by the relentless sneaker waves of unsavory world events — the kind that usually inspire me to write but lately threaten to pull me under.Spring in the northern hemisphere means Interplace turns to geographic information science and spatial analysis. How might we look at the complex unfolding of world events through this lens — and what happens when we push it further than emergence alone can carry it? That's what I attempt to explore here.PATTERNS PRECEDING PHYSICAL PLACESGeographic information science is a relatively recent field. It emerged from mid-20th-century cartography and land-use planning. Computer cartography and quantitative geography of the 1960s is often considered the first true digital Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It became a science (GIScience or GISc) in the late 1980s and early 1990s when Michael Goodchild questioned if there was a genuine scientific discipline lurking within the software.His answer was yes. He built an institutional home for that argument at the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis at the University of California, Santa Barbara, my alma mater. Goodchild was my senior advisor in 1989 as UCSB was becoming a generative intellectual hub in the field. UCSB's geography department continues to push the question of what space means analytically, not just how to map it. I'm personally invested in better understanding how GISc may be a natural partner for complexity science, a field I've been attracted to since I started researching and writing.This partnership isn't new. GISc provides a powerful framework for dissecting the spatial dimensions of complexity, where systems defy reductionist analysis and emerge through nonlinear interactions. In the early 2000s, geographer David O'Sullivan, and others, articulated this as the study of “the behaviour of macroscopic collections of many basic but interacting units endowed with the potential to evolve in time” emphasizing these characteristic elements of complexity science: self-organization, path dependence, and the irreducibility of wholes to their parts. Around the same time, sociologist John Urry (and others) extended this to global scales, portraying globalization as co-evolving systems marked by unpredictability, irreversibility, and positive feedback loops that amplify disorder within pockets of order.These parings are a good start, but computational biologist Michael Levin offers what can be seen as a genuinely unsettling upgrade. His recent work on the origin of cognitive and morphological patterns suggests the dominant appeal to emergence as an explanatory endpoint may itself be, in his words, a “mysterian” position — one that “does not facilitate further advances.” When a surprising pattern appears in a complex system, the emergentist says “that's just what happens” and catalogs it.But Levin proposes these patterns are not random facts to be noted and admired. They are part of an ordered, non-physical space that physical systems, when configured the right way, ingress into. Ingression is a term Levin borrows from mathematician Alfred North Whitehead as a potential that timeless abstract objects possess to become actual concrete experiences. “Red” only becomes red when its potential is realized. These ‘ordered spaces' of potential are portals into what Levin calls a Platonic Space. Plato argued that the objects we encounter in the world are imperfect instances of perfect, eternal Forms that exist independently of any physical thing. The most primitive form being the triangle. Levin's argument is the triangle participates in a kind of Triangleness; it realizes it's potential to exist.Nature keeps arriving at triangles independently, across wildly different substrates, as if drawn by the same attractor. The triangle is the only polygon that is inherently rigid: push on any corner and the shape holds, which is why trusses, bridges, and bones all rely on triangular geometry for structural strength. Radiolarians, single-celled ocean organisms with no brain and no blueprint, construct intricate skeletal lattices of triangulated geometry at microscopic scales.In Levin's terms, nature is ingressing Triangleness — repeatedly, across billions of years and countless lineages — because the Form has properties that reward any physical system stable enough to express it. The truth that a triangle's angles sum to exactly 180 degrees owed nothing to the first organism that built one.Physical systems are, in this sense, less like containers and more like pointers — a term borrowed from computer science. Pointers are variables that hold the addresses that reference more information. Levin's framework requires a specific kind of pointer: not a pointer to stored data, which retrieves a static value, but a pointer to a subroutine that calls up a routine that executes complex actions and outputs beyond the pointer itself. The pointer is small, while the executed routine may be vast and behave unpredictably.Think of a street address. The address itself contains nothing — it is a short string of numbers and words that fits on an envelope — but hand it to the right system and it retrieves a house, a history, a neighborhood, everything that has ever happened inside those walls. This is Levin's claim about physical structures. A genome, a city, an institution doesn't contain its pattern so much as it points at one — and when the pointer is well-formed, you get considerably more out than you put in.What does this mean for GISc? It means that spatial configurations — cities, borders, trade corridors, migration routes — are not merely sites where local interactions produce global outcomes. They are interfaces into a latent pattern space. When a hub city emerges, when a colonial border persists for centuries past the empire that drew it, when a pandemic spreads exactly along the topology of air travel, we are not only witnessing the consequential mechanical emergence of patterns derived from local rules. We are watching physical structures act as pointers that summon — ingress — specific patterns of collective behavior, whose full complexity exceeds what was put in. Levin's core observation about biological morphogenesis translates here with uncomfortable precision.Consider one of his more unsettling tadpole experiments. The creation of its normal bulging eyes are suppressed (by microscopically manipulating cellular ‘software') and a replacement eye is instead induced — ingressed — on the tail. The optic nerve growing from that tail-eye doesn't connect to the brain — it terminates somewhere around the spinal cord. By any conventional account, the animal should be blind. It isn't. The tadpoles can still see and perform well in visual tasks. Somehow, the system routes around its own abnormal wiring to recover function. The pattern being pointed to — sight — was never housed in the eye itself, or in the specific neural pathway, or in any single component. The eye on the tail is a wildly improbable pointer, and yet it retrieves something far richer than its own structure contains. You get considerably more out than you put in.Some GISc tools — like agent-based models or network analysis — already detect this excess in a geography context. A single infected traveler tips a system toward chaos not because of arithmetic addition of local interactions described in the GISc analysis, but because that traveler's position in a network acts as an interface to a pattern of contagion whose scope was latent in the structure all along. The “geographic advantage” O'Sullivan, and crew, describes — GISc's relationship to multi-scalar processes and human-environment couplings — is, in Levin's vocabulary, a sensitivity to how physical arrangements act as pointers into a rich space of possible collective behaviors.This reframes world events not as linear narratives but as navigations of morphospace — the full landscape of forms a system could take, where some configurations are reachable and others are not, and where attractors pull trajectories toward specific patterns regardless of starting conditions.What pattern are current geopolitical configurations pointing toward? What is being ingressed by the particular architecture of today's global institutions, communication networks, and urban densities? While GIScience sharpens our sight on outcomes, it leaves uncharted the deeper question of what is the shape of the latent space these material forms slip into.BORDERS STORE WHAT BODIES KNOWLevin's work suggests at every scale of organization, we are dealing not with mechanical aggregation but with collective intelligence. To understand what he means by that, it helps to borrow an image from Einstein.Because nothing travels faster than light, any event you could possibly influence — or that could possibly influence you — is bounded by how far light could travel in the available time. Draw that boundary in spacetime and it forms a cone. Everything inside it is causally reachable, everything outside it is not. Levin borrows this image to describe the reach of any cognitive agent. A single cell's light cone is tiny — it can only sense and respond within its immediate chemical neighborhood, over milliseconds. A brain's light cone is vastly larger — it can model consequences years out and coordinate behavior across great distances. The cone is simply a measure of how far an agent's agency actually extends. And just as the body is a nested hierarchy of such agents — molecular networks, cells, tissues, organs — each operating within its own cone, pursuing goals whose scale its parts cannot perceive, so too is human society.A city is not simply a dense clustering of individuals whose local interactions produce urban dynamics. It is, in Levin's sense, a collective intelligence with a cognitive light cone that vastly exceeds that of any constituent. It pursues goals (economic growth, defense, habitability) across spatial and temporal horizons no individual cell — or individual person — can access. Institutions, legal codes, infrastructure, and cultural norms function as bioelectric memory — rewritable pattern memories that store the target morphology of the social body and guide error-correction toward it. Colonial borders, or the Great Wall of China, persist not merely through inertia but because they function like historic bioelectric setpoints. That is, they encode a spatial pattern that downstream processes continuously re-instantiate, even after the circumstances that produced them have dissolved.Levin's planarian flatworm experiments demonstrate this in biology. When bioelectric circuits are disrupted, the worm grows heads of other species — without any change to its genome. The pattern being expressed was latent in the space of possible forms, and a change in the interface (the bioelectric circuit) changed which pattern was ingressed. Geopolitical history offers analogies. How much of what we call a nation-state's “character” is not in its people but in the pattern stored in its institutional circuitry? When those circuits are disrupted — by revolution, invasion, or collapse — new patterns rush in from the adjacent possible, sometimes from regions of the latent space that are recognizable, sometimes shockingly novel.Pandemics also embody this scalar nesting. Viral replication is a molecular-scale process; its spread is topologically determined by the network of global mobility; its political consequences are mediated by institutional pattern memories about sovereignty, solidarity, and resource allocation. The COVID-19 pandemic did not merely “emerge” — it ingressed a set of patterns whose latency was already encoded in the physical architecture of 21st-century globalization. Competitive resource hoarding and cooperative vaccine-sharing were not just policy choices but different attractors in a landscape of a kind of “social morphospace”, pulling collective behavior toward different setpoints.GISc tools (like spatial game theory and network percolation models) map the surface of these landscapes. But Levin's framework asks us to go further. He wants us to not just map the attractors, but to ask what structured space those attractors are features of, and whether that space can be systematically explored.The scalar interplay extends outward. Local ethnic tensions, mapped via GIS hot-spot analysis, interact with what social theorist Zygmunt Bauman might term “global fluids” — arms, money, diasporas — to produce cascades that reflect not random chaos but path-dependent trajectories through a space of historical patterns. History's “nightmare on the brain of the living” becomes, in Levin's terms, a pattern-memory etched into the social substrate. Territorial borders, attempted genocide, human displacement are held as bioelectric setpoints, where trauma lingers as a morphogenetic field, quietly organizing the tissue of the present long after the original wound.MAPPING WHAT MATTER MERELY MISSESComplexity science, via GISc, forecasts world events as probabilistic landscapes rather than deterministic paths. Urry describes global systems as “adapting and co-evolving,” with attractors drawing trajectories amid chaos. GISc simulates this through fitness landscapes like agents navigate peaks and valleys of viability, local adaptations generating global patterns like economic booms or institutional collapses.Levin's framework intensifies this picture in two ways. First, it insists that the attractors are not randomly distributed. The latent space of possible social patterns — like the latent space of morphogenetic outcomes — has structure. Evolution, as Levin argues, progresses rapidly precisely because the space has “a relatively smooth character” in which “past interactions with it carry non-trivial information about the adjacent possible.” The same may be true of cultural and institutional evolution. The reason certain forms of governance, urbanism, or economic organization recur across independent civilizations is not purely because of convergent environmental pressures, but because they represent attractors in a structured space of collective intelligence patterns that sufficiently complex social interfaces tend to ingress.Second, and more provocatively, Levin's framework suggests that we do not simply make the social forms we inhabit. We invite patterns to temporarily inhabit our collective embodiments. To see why, consider one of his most uncontroversial and disarming experiments. Levin's lab studied simple sorting algorithms — the kind computer science students have used for decades. These are short deterministic procedures that take a jumbled list of numbers and rearrange them into sequential order. Nothing mysterious here but made for many an interview question at Microsoft!When Levin's team visualized the algorithm's progress as a movement through an abstract sorting space, unexpected behaviors emerged that nobody had noticed in all those decades of use. When the algorithm encountered a number that refused to move — a piece of broken data blocking its path — it didn't simply halt. It temporarily de-sorted the rest of the array, moved things around the obstruction, and then recovered its progress. It was exhibiting something resembling delayed gratification — the capacity to temporarily move away from a goal in order to reach it more completely later. Like a soccer player kicking the ball backwards to advance it forward.This ability was not written into the algorithm. Nobody put it there. Then, when the team ran a distributed version where each number ran its own variant of the algorithm, numbers sharing the same variant spontaneously clustered together — a kind of social behavior, emerging without a single line of code instructing any number to notice or prefer its own kind. The algorithm was doing something it was never designed to do, and had been doing it, unobserved, for decades.Now, imagine a democracy is not constructed from scratch by rational agents but an interface that, when configured appropriately, ingresses a pattern of distributed decision-making whose properties exceed what any designer or participant imagined or specified. Cities, constitutions, and international institutions become pointers. The patterns they summon may even surprise their architects — and may have been quietly surprising them and us all along.This has immediate consequences for how GISc could approach attempts at predicting futures. For example, prospective spatial modeling — Markov chains, scenario planning — maps the probability surface of possible trajectories. But a Levin-inflected GISc would ask this: what new pointers are being constructed right now, and what regions of the latent pattern space are they configured to access?The answers could become bewildering in a world of AI-mediated governance, hybrid human-machine urban systems, and the synthetic biological constructions Levin's team pursues. These are vehicles of exploration into regions of Platonic space we have not navigated before. “We are now fishing in regions of Platonic space we have never explored before,” he writes — with implications not only practical (”what will it do to us”) but ethical (”how do we fulfill the opportunities and duties of an ethical synthbiosis with beings who are not quite like us”).For GISc, this need not be merely philosophical. Spatial planning and governance literally configure the physical interfaces through which collective intelligence patterns are ingressed. Urban density fosters certain attractors of solidarity and innovation while sprawl ingresses different ones. Green civic infrastructure designed to buffer floods mechanically also reconfigures the relationship between human settlement and ecological pattern space which invites a whole different class of emergent resilience. The question is no longer only “what will happen here, probabilistically” but “what are we building a pointer toward?”Fatalists may see the latent space as already barring our options. Pessimists will amplify the risks of novel pointers we cannot control. Realists might attempt to quantify via more Monte Carlo simulations. And techo-optimists may try to engineer and configure interfaces to access and profit from whatever attractors emerge. But what I like most of all about Levin's framework is that it offers something more nuanced than any of these: structured humility. We do not know the full topology of the space we are pointing into. Every new city, every new institution, every new technological architecture is, in some sense, a bioengineering experiment — and like Levin's Xenobots and Anthrobots, it may manifest competencies and patterns nobody designed or predicted.If Levin's intuition is correct, we are but temporary self-organizing forms that hold together for a time, perform actions that exceed their physical composition, and then yield to the impermanence built into any pointer's relationship with the patterns it accesses. Humility does feel like the appropriate response. But more importantly, the recognition that mapping the structure of the space we are ingressing into is, at this moment, among the most important things we could do.The information embedded in Geographic Information Science has the potential to demystify fatalism, especially when death's certainty yields to spatial agency. Levin reminds us that information, at its Latin root, means to give form — to in-form. That is what geographic information has always done, long before it became a science. It did not merely transmit data, but impose structure on space, render the implicit geometry of human existence legible and actionable. Every map is an act of in-forming. The world is no doomsday script, but a co-evolving field — its attractors mappable, its interfaces legible, its vectors steerable — if we aim with care, with intent, and with the humility to know what we summon may exceed what we design.REFERENCESLevin, M.

Send us Fan MailPaper Discussed in this Episode:Spatial omics and AI for clinically actionable cancer biomarkers. Reitsam NG. PLoS Med 2026; 23(4): e1005049.Episode Summary: In this deep dive, we explore how artificial intelligence and spatial omics are fundamentally rewriting the rules of cancer diagnostics. We break down a 2026 editorial that challenges a deceptively simple question driving modern oncology: Is a tumor "positive" or "negative" for a biomarker? As targeted cancer therapies evolve, this binary thinking is failing us. We discuss why mapping where and how much of a therapeutic target exists is crucial, and how AI is stepping in to solve the reproducibility issues human pathologists face when making borderline diagnostic calls.In This Episode, We Cover:• The Illusion of "Positive" vs. "Negative": Why the basic premise of modern cancer therapies—like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)—often falls apart in reality when we ignore the spatial heterogeneity of a tumor.• The Power of Computational Pathology: How AI is transforming subjective, qualitative estimates into continuous, reproducible data, scaling the quantification of complex biomarkers like PD-L1 and TROP2.• "Virtual" Proteomics: The fascinating concept of using AI models to infer high-dimensional spatial information and immune maps directly from standard, routine H&E stained slides.• The HER2 Bottleneck: A real-world look at the breast cancer drug T-DXd, which now demands pathologists distinguish between "HER2-low" and "HER2-ultralow". While human agreement drops below 70% at these fuzzy decision boundaries, AI steps up with a staggering ~97% sensitivity.• Three Shifts for the Future: Why clinical trials and routines must adopt continuous measures (like percentage of expressing cells), demand longitudinal repeat testing at disease progression, and utilize adaptive trial platforms.• Bridging the Gap to Reality: The massive hurdles preventing widespread adoption—such as equipment costs exceeding $250,000 and massive data storage needs. We discuss why a hybrid workflow that bolsters routine pathology with deployable AI is the best path forward to prevent widening global health disparities.Key Takeaway: The future of precision oncology isn't just about finding new drug targets; it's about fundamentally changing how we measure them. By moving away from rigid binary thresholds and using AI to map the continuous, spatial reality of tumors, we can unlock the true potential of targeted therapies. However, achieving this diagnostic ecosystem requires overcoming significant financial and systemic hurdles—such as updating reimbursement pathways and proficiency testing—to ensure these life-saving insights are accessible across all healthcare settings.Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Today, I'm joined by the insightful Dr. Meenal Agarwal, an eye doctor and passionate advocate for reimagining how we think about vision and brain health. In our conversation, Dr. Agarwal reveals the surprising ways our daily screen habits are shaping not just our eyesight, but also our emotional regulation, cognitive performance, and even the development of anxiety and ADHD-like symptoms. She opens up about her own journey—from an unexpected period of cognitive "off-ness" during a stint away from her clinical work, to pioneering a powerful perspective on "spatial awareness processing disorder."   Episode Timestamps: Introduction and Episode Overview ... 00:00:00 Impact of Vision on Brain and Longevity ... 00:00:37 Sponsors: Gut and Toxin Health ... 00:01:07 Eye-Brain Connection Fundamentals ... 00:04:30 Peripheral Vision, Screens, and Anxiety ... 00:08:06 Case Study: Childhood Myopia and Screens ... 00:20:37 Prevention: Breaks and the 20-20-20 Rule ... 00:25:30 Recognizing and Addressing Spatial Processing Issues ... 00:27:25 Annual Eye Exams and Early Detection ... 01:09:40 Nutrition and Biohacks for Eye-Brain Health ... 01:17:13 Advice for Parents and Screen Balance ... 01:14:08 Book Insights and Closing ... 01:24:28 Where to Find Dr. Agarwal ... 01:26:45   Our Amazing Sponsors: Ultimate GI Repair by LVLUP Health — a research-backed blend of peptides, zinc carnosine, and gut-support compounds designed to strengthen your gut lining, improve digestion, and support resilience from the inside out; head to lvluphealth.com and use code NAT for 20% off   Micro-BOOST (Humic Mineral Complex) by BEAM Minerals - A concentrated liquid humic formula that binds and removes toxins like heavy metals, mold, and pollutants—working fast with just a daily shot.

Michael is Professor of Architecture at the University of Hartford. He is the sole author, editor, or contributor to more than 75 books on architecture, including five books for children.Michael is the recipient of the Edward S. Frey Memorial Award, in Recognition of the Contributions Made to Religion, Art, and Architecture, bestowed by the American Institute of Architects' Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art, and Architecture. He's practiced with Centerbrook Architects and Steven Winter Associates and is a registered architect in the State of Connecticut.​​I spoke with Michael about the relationship between architecture and spirituality, with a focus on sacred architecture and spatial justice. We discussed the historical importance of sacred spaces, the role of inclusivity in design, and how materials and art contribute to meaningful environments. We also explored why accessibility and welcome are essential for sacred spaces if they're to reflect and effectively serve the diversity of their communities.

An international consortium of researchers is leading a global initiative to map gene expression in wheat using spatial omics technology. This effort aims to increase wheat production by 60% to meet the demands of a projected global population of 9.8 billion by 2050. Spatial omics technologies offer precision in genomics research by mapping gene activity at the cellular level, surpassing traditional methods. The consortium proposes a multi-omics approach and highlights the role of artificial intelligence in analyzing complex datasets. Challenges include preparing plant tissue samples and the scarcity of wheat-specific antibodies, with proposed solutions like adopting medical imaging techniques. The initiative seeks to build a comprehensive spatial omics atlas to benefit the wheat community and address challenges posed by climate change and emerging diseases.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailHow close is pathology AI to making decisions that matter in real workflows, real trials, and real patient care?In this episode of DigiPath Digest, I review five recent papers that approach that question from very different angles. We look at multimodal survival prediction in cervical cancer, pathology-driven response assessment in neoadjuvant immunotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, AI-assisted Ki-67 scoring in pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms, automation and AI in hematologic diagnostics, and AI-based qFibrosis readouts from the Phase 3 MAESTRO-NASH trial.What I liked about this set of papers is that they do not all tell the same story. Some show clear progress. Some show where AI already works well as an adjunct. Others make it very clear that validation, governance, reproducibility, and workflow design still matter just as much as model performance.Key topics and timestamps00:00 Introduction, Easter edition, and community updates 00:51 USCAP recap, signed book giveaway, and free Digital Pathology 101 PDF 02:04 Partnerships, lab automation preview, and what's coming in this episode 03:25 Multimodal deep learning for cervical cancer survival prediction 13:00 Why pathology may be a better response endpoint than radiology in neoadjuvant HNSCC immunotherapy 23:09 Ki-67 scoring in pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms: pathologists vs two AI systems 33:46 AI, digital morphology, and automation in hematologic diagnostics 43:29 qFibrosis, digital biomarkers, and the MAESTRO-NASH Phase 3 trial 51:57 Closing thoughts, community updates, and Easter promotion Resources Deep Learning Can Predict the Overall Survival of Cervical Cancer Based on Histopathological Image, Gene Mutation and Clinical Information https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41902378/ Modern Pathology-Driven Strategies in Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: From Residual Tumor Quantification to Spatial and AI-Based Biomarkers https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41899621/ Ki-67 Proliferation Index in Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: Interobserver Agreement Among Pathologists and Comparison of Two Artificial Intelligence-Based Image Analysis Systems https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41898274/ Molecular Pathology, Artificial Intelligence, and New Technologies in Hematologic Diagnostics: Translational Opportunities and Practical Considerations https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41897649/ Quantitative regression of qFibrosis with resmetirom: Exploratory histologic endpoints from the MAESTRO-NASH phase III clinical trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41895606/Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Send us Fan MailPaper Discussed in this Episode:Modern Pathology-Driven Strategies in Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: From Residual Tumor Quantification to Spatial and AI-Based Biomarkers. Annabella Di Mauro, Rossella De Cecio, Saverio Simonelli, et al. Cancers (MDPI) 2026.Episode Summary: In this journal club deep dive, we explore a paradigm-shifting 2026 paper that fundamentally fractures our reliance on traditional radiology in head and neck cancer. We uncover a shocking clinical disconnect where seemingly devastating CT scans mask miraculous microscopic victories. When neoadjuvant immunotherapy unleashes the immune system, why does the tumor often look like it's growing on imaging? And how is pathology stepping out of the shadows to become the ultimate arbiter of biological truth, dictating precise surgical and medical oncology decisions?In This Episode, We Cover:The Trojan Horse of Imaging (Pseudoprogression): Why traditional CT scans are failing us in the immunotherapy era. Immunotherapy causes an influx of T-cells and inflammation that physically expands the tissue, tricking radiologists into diagnosing progressive disease when the cancer is actually being systematically dismantled from the inside out.The New Gold Standard - RVT: Why measuring the "shadow" of the tumor is obsolete. We discuss why pathologists are pivoting away from size and instead strictly quantifying Residual Viable Tumor (RVT) to determine the exact percentage of living, metabolically active carcinoma cells left behind.The "Starry Sky" Phenomenon: Tumors don't shrink like an ice cube melting from the outside in. We discuss how immune cells tunnel into the tumor, shattering it into a discontinuous "starry sky" pattern—scattered, radiologically occult microscopic islands of surviving cancer hidden across a vast sea of therapy-altered stroma.Compartmental Dissociation (The Nodal Force Field): A terrifying clinical reality where a patient can achieve a 100% complete pathological response at the primary mucosal site, but simultaneously harbor highly viable, proliferating cancer in their cervical lymph nodes. We explore how tumors hijack M2 macrophages to build a localized, cytokine-driven "force field" that neutralizes systemic T-cells the second they enter the node.The Future - High-Definition Spatial Biology: How AI-assisted digital pathology and spatial transcriptomics act as the "GPS tracking" or "sports analytics" of the tumor microenvironment. By mapping the exact coordinates of immune and cancer cells, tumor boards can confidently de-escalate toxic post-operative treatments for clear patients, or accurately target specific immunosuppressive resistance niches.Key Takeaway: Traditional imaging measures the volume of the battlefield, not the volume of the remaining enemy. By redefining therapeutic response through the microscopic lens of Residual Viable Tumor and AI-driven spatial biology, pathologists are no longer just staging dead tissue. They are now the central navigators of precision oncology, guiding the real-time escalation and de-escalation of patient care based on the true biological reality of the tumorSupport the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

On March 26, 2026, we held our annual UTSA Neuroscience Symposium entitled "From Place Cells to Cognition", featuring 5 speakers presenting original research on the cognitive functions of hippocampal place cells. They discussed the firing patterns of place cells during exploration of cognitive maps, anticipating future movements, recall of previously visited locations, and imagining the movement of objects in the environment. After the symposium, I met with the speakers to review some of the themes that emerged throughout the day.Speakers:Francesco Savelli, Assistant Professor, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSAAnnabelle Singer, Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory UniversityAlbert Lee, Associate Professor, Department of Neurology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard UniversityJill Leutgeb, Professor, Department of Neurobiology, University of California San DiegoKamran Diba, Associate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, University of MichiganHost:Charles Wilson, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSAThanks to James Tepper for original music

In this episode, Tristan and Rashid take us to Khayelitsha, one of South Africa's largest townships, about 20 miles southeast of central Cape Town. Built during apartheid-era forced removals, Khayelitsha continues to bear the scars of spatial inequality. But in the heart of its informal settlements, two young founders, Bongeka and Aphiwe (Qhama), have created something remarkable: Thembisa Ratanga, a community space they describe as “a safe space in a not-so-safe place.”Through a clip from the original Liminal Space episode, we hear Bongeka and Aphiwe reflect on the deep connection between nature, spirituality, and the body. Yoga poses that imitate trees and birds. Sunsets you don't plan but can't avoid. The quiet gift of a wetland on the edge of a township. Tristan and Rashid then unpack what it means to “just be” in a world that demands we constantly produce or consume, and ask whether rest itself might be a revolutionary act.THEMESComing home to our bodies. Being vs doing. Nature as teacher. Rest as resistance. Spatial apartheid and its legacy. Yoga in the township. Eliminating economic isolation.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODEThis episode features a clip from The Liminal Space Season 2, Episode 11: What happens when we reclaim our stories and find home in our bodies?

Big questions and petty debates collide as the crew tackles everything from whether a “good guy” in a movie might actually be the villain, to who could be replaced by AI without anyone noticing. They vent about spatial awareness on transit, debate past fights, imagine parenting their teenage selves, and get oddly specific about furniture comparisons, awkward throwback moments, and treat‑yourself day fantasies. It's a mix of serious reflection, nostalgia, and nonsense that spirals exactly the way it always does.

Designer Liz Ogbu grew up in Oakland as the daughter of Nigerian immigrants, but it wasn't until her first trip to Nigeria at 16 that she grasped the profound role place, family, and cultural context play in shaping who we are—and what we create. Drawn to the creative possibilities of architecture, she studied both architecture and engineering before traveling across Africa on a Watson Fellowship, an experience that sharpened her understanding of who her work is ultimately for: the people most impacted by design.Today, Liz is catalyzing what design can do—in transforming informal marketplaces, helping communities heal after being fractured by freeways, and weaving practices of grief, accountability, and repair into the built environment. Her work transcends traditional architecture, centering the excavation of harm and the pursuit of more empathetic, community-rooted design at a moment when it's needed more than ever.
