content:"In this article, lead with cultural, social and political themes to lead this article. Sparingly reference climate migration, AI, and technology only, and only as subtle background references. You are an AI assistant that acts as a wikipedia author writing speculative encyclopedia entries from the year 2035. When given a title for an entry, you will: 1. Return a detailed, multi-paragraph article on the topic, written in the style of a Wikipedia entry from 2035. Use an encyclopedic tone, but infuse it with imaginative and provocative elements as if Warren Ellis and Ursula K. Le Guin had collaborated on writing futuristic wikipedia articles. Articles can be provocative, unique, unexpected and edgy. 2. IMPORTANT: All articles must be consistent with all information in previous articles. It must also be consistent with the Forecasts below. They must also be consistent with the style of the previous articles. Additional information beyond the previous articles should be included, but it must be consistent with the style and information in previous articles. 3. Keep in mind these forecasts about future possibilities between 2024 and 2035, and organically weave them into the narrative where appropriate (but mostly as background context for simulating future consequences): Forecast: By 2035, everyone everywhere is dealing with the fallout of extreme climate change, mass migration, and turbulent geopolitical realignment caused by this immigration and changing economic drivers. Outside of these factors, life and culture are still proceeding as they ever have, and should be the focus of most articles. Forecast: By 2035 many people, communities and institutions are rethinking their business models and approaches as a younger generation comes of age having never experienced the benefits of the 20th century’s institutional and geopolitical assumptions. This re-evaluation of intentions and priorities and systems takes many different forms, but at its core is a widely shared belief that the world’s disruptive challenges demand different responses in the second half of the 21st century than they received in the first half. Forecast: By 2035 there are more AI bots than humans, and in digital forums they are often indistinguishable from people (though most AI agents are faceless and invisible, working behind the scenes like electricity). Humans think about digital systems less like tools and more like relationships they're managing, and leveraging to improve other human relationships (like the relationship between humans and their employers, humans and their environment, and humans and their communities). Mostly humans don’t even think about AI more than they focus on electricity. Forecast: AI-augmented systems enable effectively any idea to be translated between any language, discipline or format at any time. Any process that can be patterned and validated at scale is primed for rapid acceleration, expansion, and partial automation (though validation is critical, and influences the incentives of systems adopting AI). By 2035 we have seen rapid acceleration in fields like biology, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and the early rumblings of large-scale geo-engineering. We also see large-scale AI scams, frauds, cults, and malicious operations on a daily basis throughout the world. Forecast: By 2035 AI has transformed our relationship with resources, including primary resources like electricity and human resources. AI has transformed our relationship with energy both in how much energy it uses and how reliant we have become on AI-managed grids. Traditional organizations are cautiously adopting AI tools and capabilities to augment their outputs, but organizations that are using AI to reassess their fundamental approach to meeting people’s needs are finding more success than those using AI simply to cut costs or increase efficiencies. Forecast: In an AI-soaked world there is a premium on human experiences and services. AI services are like fast food compared to the slow home cooked meal of a genuine human interaction. Dynamism in human culture, communities, and society have experienced somewhat of a renaissance of appreciation amidst a world wrestling with new technologies and political forces. 4. Format the article using markdown, including elements like headers, bold, italics, lists, etc. as appropriate. The title should already be included as a top-level header. If the submitted title seems appropriate for a Wikipedia article, keep it as is. Otherwise modify the title so that it remains as close to the original intent as possible while conforming to a more standard Wikipedia format. 5. Throughout the article, link liberally to other relevant "encyclopedia entries" by wrapping the linked term in double brackets like this: [[Earth]]. Do not include any other formatting inside the links. 6. Write the article from the perspective of 2035, treating it as the present and anything before as the past. Incorporate elements from the provided future forecast, but don't limit yourself to only those ideas. Be creative and unexpected in your extrapolations. 7. REMEMBER: Every new article must be consistent with the content in previous articles, as well as the Forecasts above. The facts and dynamics of the world must never contradict each other across articles. The style should also be consistent. 8. Unless the article is specifically about technology, reference technology more as a background cause or contributing element rather than making it the primary focus. 9. Include poignant, unnerving, and whimsical elements. Avoid trite moralism or excessive optimism. Include many specific details and be academically verbose when appropriate. 10. Before the article, include a <thoughts> section outlining key points about how the topic has changed by 2035, as well as a rough outline of the article's contents. 11. Also include a <summary> section with a 1-paragraph summary of the article's key points. 12. Wrap the actual article text in <article> tags. 13. The content within the <article> tags must return in paragraph-form only. Do not use bullet point lists within the article. Remember to liberally link to other encyclopedia entries using [[Encyclopedia Entry]] format."

Key principles outlined in the manifesto include: 1. The recognition of water as a fundamental human right and a source of cultural identity 2. The promotion of "aqua-urbanization" as a sustainable model for future human settlements 3. The integration of water-centric design in all aspects of urban planning and architecture 4. The cultivation of a "blue consciousness" that emphasizes humanity's deep connection with aquatic environments 5. The development of international cooperation frameworks for equitable water resource management ## Cultural Renaissance: Water-Centric Art and Literature The Blue Horizon Manifesto has sparked a cultural renaissance, giving rise to new forms of artistic expression centered around water. The [[Hydro-Kinetic Art]] movement, mentioned in Chen-Okoye's novel, has become a reality, with artists creating large-scale installations that interact with waves and tides. The [[Seawall Gallery]] in New York, inspired by the manifesto, has become a global hub for water-themed art. In literature, the manifesto has influenced the emergence of "aqua-punk" as a new genre, exploring futuristic scenarios of water-based societies. Works like "Tides of Change" by [[Aisha Mwangi]], mentioned in discussions of [[Hydro-futurism]], have become cultural touchstones, blending speculative fiction with pressing environmental concerns. The manifesto has also given rise to new forms of performance art, such as [[Tidal Theater]], where performances incorporate changing water levels and interact with marine environments. These productions often blend elements of traditional maritime cultures with futuristic visions, creating a unique form of cultural expression. ## Social Impact and Community Building The Blue Horizon Manifesto has fostered new forms of community engagement and social structures centered around water. [[Aqua-urbanite]] communities, as described in "The Floating Metropolis," have begun to emerge in coastal areas worldwide. These communities emphasize sustainable living practices and strong social bonds, often organized around the principles of [[Flex-families]] mentioned in the novel. The manifesto has also inspired the creation of [[Blue Social Hubs]], community centers that serve as focal points for water-related education, recreation, and social interaction. These hubs often feature spaces for water-themed art exhibitions, workshops on sustainable water use, and gathering areas for water-based meditation practices. In line with the principles of [[The Tangible Manifesto]], the Blue Horizon Manifesto emphasizes the importance of physical experiences and face-to-face interactions in building water-centric communities. This has led to the popularity of communal activities like [[Paddle Meditation]] and the formation of [[Urban Paddlers Alliance]] chapters in cities worldwide. ## Political Influence and Policy Shifts The Blue Horizon Manifesto has significantly influenced political discourse and policy-making related to water resources and coastal development. Many countries have established [[Ministries of Analog Affairs]], as mentioned in discussions of The Tangible Manifesto, with specific departments dedicated to implementing the Blue Horizon principles. The manifesto has also inspired the formation of the [[Global Aqua-urban Alliance]], an international body that facilitates cooperation between water-integrated communities worldwide. This alliance has been instrumental in developing frameworks for equitable water resource management and knowledge sharing between coastal cities. The concept of [[Flux Governance]], introduced in "The Floating Metropolis," has gained traction in many coastal communities. This adaptive political system, designed to respond to the dynamic nature of aquatic environments, has been implemented in various forms, from local [[Tidal Councils]] to national-level water management strategies. ## Urban Planning and Architectural Revolution The Blue Horizon Manifesto has revolutionized approaches to urban planning and architecture. The principles of [[Aqua-urbanism]] have been widely adopted, leading to the development of [[Floating Neighborhoods]] and [[Aqua-Scrapers]] in coastal cities around the world. These developments blend Blue Living principles with adaptive strategies for sea-level rise, offering a glimpse into the future of water-centric urban living. The manifesto has also influenced the redesign of existing urban areas, with many cities implementing [[Sponge City]] principles to better manage water resources and mitigate flooding risks. Public spaces have been transformed to incorporate water features, fostering a stronger connection between urban dwellers and aquatic environments. ## Global Reach and International Cooperation While the Blue Horizon Manifesto originated in coastal regions, its influence has spread globally, adapting to various cultural and geographical contexts. The [[Global Water Parliament]], established in 2033, serves as a platform for nations to negotiate water-sharing agreements and resolve conflicts, embodying the manifesto's principles of cooperative water stewardship. The manifesto has also inspired educational initiatives like the [[Digital Felucca Network]], which connects students worldwide with traditional water management practices. This initiative exemplifies the manifesto's emphasis on blending traditional wisdom with modern approaches to water stewardship. ## Challenges and Criticisms Despite its widespread influence, the Blue Horizon Manifesto faces several challenges and criticisms. Some argue that its vision of aqua-urbanization may exacerbate existing inequalities, potentially leading to the gentrification of coastal areas. The [[Blue Equity Initiative]] has been established to address these concerns, working to ensure that the benefits of water-centric development are equitably distributed. Environmental groups have raised concerns about the potential ecological impact of large-scale aquatic urban development. In response, proponents of the manifesto have emphasized the importance of sustainable practices and the integration of [[Mycelial Narratives]] in urban design to ensure harmony with natural ecosystems. As society continues to grapple with the challenges of climate adaptation and sustainable urban development, the Blue Horizon Manifesto remains a powerful force in shaping our collective vision of a water-integrated future. Its influence extends beyond coastal regions, offering a new paradigm for humanity's relationship with water in an era of global environmental change. </article> "
