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."

This feline icon, whose rise to fame began in the late 2020s, has come to embody the city's unique blend of whimsy, progressivism, and community spirit, playing a pivotal role in shaping Portland's evolution into a beacon of innovative urban living. ## Origins and Rise to Fame Adopted from the [[Portland Interspecies Shelter]] in 2027, Bodhicattva first gained public attention during a [[Last Thursday]] event in the Alberta Arts District. The cat's apparent leadership of a group of newcomers to a [[Community Resource Center]] was captured and shared widely, resonating with a city grappling with rapid demographic changes and the challenges of integrating diverse populations. As Bodhicattva's exploits continued to capture public imagination, the cat became a regular fixture at community events and town hall meetings. The feline's uncanny ability to appear at socially significant moments led to the popular saying, "Where Bodhi goes, change follows," reflecting the cat's growing influence on local discourse and community action. ## Cultural Impact and Symbolism Bodhicattva has become a central figure in Portland's evolving cultural landscape, embodying the city's spirit of inclusivity and adaptability. The cat is a frequent subject in works showcased at the [[Pacific Northwest Fusion Festival]], often depicted as a bridge between different communities and cultures. The annual [[Bodhicattva Day]], celebrated on the last Thursday of August, has become a citywide festival rivaling the original [[Last Thursday]] in scope and popularity. This event combines elements of art walks, community service initiatives, and civic engagement workshops, embodying the spirit of the [[Last Thursday Philosophy]] while addressing practical community needs. Street artists, inspired by Bodhi's adventures, have created murals across the city, many of which have become landmarks in their own right. These artworks often blend Portland's tradition of quirky public art with themes of social justice and community resilience, reflecting the broader cultural fusion characteristic of New Portland. ## Social Movements and Community Initiatives Bodhicattva's influence extends far beyond internet fame, catalyzing numerous community engagement and social activism initiatives. The [[Bodhi's Buddies]] program, initiated in 2030, pairs long-time residents with newcomers, fostering understanding and cooperation in a city grappling with rapid change. This initiative aligns with the principles of the [[Rose City Resilience Collective]], emphasizing intergenerational and intercultural community building. Inspired by Bodhi's role in bringing people together, the [[Feline Foster Networks]] have emerged as a powerful force for community integration. These networks, where community members collaboratively care for local cat populations, have proven particularly effective in welcoming newcomers to established neighborhoods. ## Political Influence and Debates While Bodhicattva is not a political figure in the traditional sense, the cat's popularity has significantly impacted local politics. The [[Bodhicattva Approach to Governance]], a term coined by members of the [[New Portland Civic Assembly]], emphasizes curiosity, adaptability, and community-centric decision making. This approach has influenced how the city tackles complex issues like affordable housing and environmental sustainability. The establishment of [[Feline Advisory Boards]] ensures that the needs of both human and feline residents are considered in urban planning decisions. These boards have become an integral part of Portland's evolving system of participatory democracy, as outlined in the [[Portland 2050 Vision]]. Debates around the [[Feline Freedom Act]], which grants cats certain rights to public space, have become common in local politics. These discussions often intersect with broader debates about public space usage and civic engagement, reflecting Portland's ongoing experimentation with new forms of community-driven governance. ## Urban Development and Feline-friendly Spaces Bodhicattva's influence on urban planning is perhaps most visible in the proliferation of [[Feline-friendly Urban Spaces]] across Portland. These spaces, which began as a city planning initiative inspired by Bodhi's adventures, have transformed Portland's urban landscape. The implementation of green corridors, interactive furnishings, and elevated walkways for cats has created a unique urban environment that caters to both human and feline residents. The success of these spaces has inspired similar initiatives worldwide, with Portland serving as a model for integrating animal welfare and community engagement into urban design. The [[Urban Cat Whisperer]], a respected community figure who mediates between human and feline residents, has emerged as a uniquely Portland profession, reflecting the city's commitment to interspecies harmony. ## Controversies and Criticisms Bodhicattva's rise to prominence has not been without controversy. The [[Bodhicattva Skeptics Society]], formed in 2032, questions the appropriateness of allowing a non-human entity to wield such cultural influence. Critics argue that the focus on a feline mascot trivializes serious urban issues and distracts from substantive policy discussions. Others have raised concerns about the commodification of Bodhi's image, particularly as unlicensed merchandise flooded markets. This led to the establishment of the [[Bodhicattva Trust]] in 2034, which manages the cat's image rights and directs proceeds to various community initiatives. ## Legacy and Future Influence As of 2035, Bodhicattva continues to capture the imagination of Portlanders and inspire community action. The cat's legacy is evident in the numerous grassroots initiatives that have sprung up in its wake, from neighborhood watch programs to youth mentorship schemes. Looking to the future, there are plans to develop a [[Bodhicattva Virtual Experience]], which would allow people worldwide to explore Portland through the eyes of its feline hero. While this project has been met with some skepticism, proponents argue that it could serve as an innovative tool for promoting civic engagement and cultural exchange. In conclusion, Bodhicattva's journey from shelter cat to cultural icon encapsulates the spirit of New Portland - adaptable, community-focused, and unafraid of embracing the unconventional. As the city continues to evolve in the face of global challenges, Bodhi remains a beloved symbol of resilience, inclusivity, and the enduring power of community spirit. </article> "

The cat's popularity has sparked debates about symbolism in activism and the role of non-human entities in shaping urban narratives, while its legacy continues to inspire community-driven initiatives in Portland and beyond. </summary> <article> # Bodhicattva (Portland Feline Hero) Bodhicattva, affectionately known as "Bodhi" to Portlanders, is a feline folk hero who rose to prominence in the late 2020s and has since become an emblem of [[New Portland]]'s unique blend of whimsy, progressivism, and community spirit. This orange tabby's journey from a shelter cat to a cultural icon mirrors Portland's own evolution, reflecting the city's struggles with gentrification, its commitment to social justice, and its innovative approaches to urban living. ## Origins and Rise to Fame Adopted from the [[Portland Interspecies Shelter]] in 2027, Bodhicattva first gained attention during a [[Last Thursday]] event in the Alberta Arts District. The cat was spotted seemingly leading a group of climate migrants to a [[Community Resource Center]], an act that was captured on numerous devices and quickly went viral. This incident occurred during a period of significant demographic shifts in Portland, as noted in the [[Portland Gentrification Timeline]], and Bodhi's actions were seen as a symbolic welcome to newcomers. As Bodhicattva's adventures continued to capture public imagination, the cat became a regular fixture at community events, often appearing at critical moments in town hall meetings or neighborhood assemblies. The feline's uncanny ability to show up at socially significant moments led to the popular saying, "Where Bodhi goes, change follows." ## Bodhicattva's Social Impact Bodhicattva's influence extends far beyond mere internet fame. The cat has become a catalyst for community engagement and social activism in Portland. The [[Bodhi's Buddies]] program, initiated in 2030, pairs long-time residents with newcomers, fostering understanding and cooperation in a city grappling with rapid change. This initiative aligns with the principles of the [[Rose City Resilience Collective]], emphasizing intergenerational and intercultural community building. The feline hero has also inspired the creation of [[Feline-Friendly Urban Spaces]], a city planning initiative that encourages the development of green corridors and small wildlife habitats within the urban environment. This project, while seemingly whimsical, has had significant positive impacts on urban biodiversity and community well-being, complementing the [[Vertical Forest Initiative]] mentioned in earlier articles. ## Cultural Significance Bodhicattva has become a central figure in Portland's evolving cultural landscape. The cat is a frequent subject in the works showcased at the [[Pacific Northwest Fusion Festival]], often depicted as a bridge between different communities and cultures. Street artists, inspired by Bodhi's adventures, have created murals across the city, many of which have become landmarks in their own right.

The [[Bodhicattva Approach to Governance]], a term coined by members of the [[New Portland Civic Assembly]], emphasizes curiosity, adaptability, and community-centric decision making. This approach has influenced how the city tackles complex issues like affordable housing and environmental sustainability. In 2033, during a contentious debate about the expansion of the [[Portland Cultural Commons]], supporters of the project released an AI-generated image of Bodhicattva appearing to lead a diverse group of residents into a proposed new community space. While controversial, this tactic sparked a broader discussion about representation and inclusivity in urban development projects. ## Controversies and Debates Bodhicattva's rise to prominence has not been without controversy. Critics argue that the focus on a feline mascot trivializes serious urban issues and distracts from substantive policy discussions. The [[Bodhicattva Skeptics Society]], formed in 2032, questions the appropriateness of allowing a non-human entity to wield such cultural influence.

content:"<thoughts> Key points for Interaction Design in 2035, focusing on cultural, social, and political themes: - Evolution from digital-centric to holistic experience design - Influence of movements like Hyggeminimalism and Elemental on interaction design - Impact on community structures and social dynamics - Political implications, including accessibility and digital rights policies - Cultural significance of interaction design in shaping urban experiences - Subtle incorporation of climate adaptation and AI as background elements Outline: 1. Cultural Context and Evolution 2. Social Impact and Community Engagement 3. Political and Ethical Considerations 4. Urban Integration and Spatial Design 5. Global Trends and Cross-Cultural Influences 6. Future Challenges and Opportunities </thoughts> <summary> By 2035, Interaction Design has evolved into a discipline that profoundly shapes cultural norms, social structures, and political landscapes. Moving beyond mere digital interfaces, it now encompasses the design of holistic experiences that foster human connection, emotional resonance, and community engagement. Influenced by movements like Scandinavian Hyggeminimalism and the Elemental approach, interaction design has become a powerful tool for addressing social challenges and enhancing quality of life in urban spaces. The field navigates complex ethical considerations while striving for inclusivity and accessibility, subtly incorporating technological advancements and environmental adaptations as background elements. </summary> <article> # Interaction Design In 2035, Interaction Design has transcended its origins as a purely digital discipline to become a cornerstone of cultural expression, social dynamics, and political discourse. This evolution reflects broader societal shifts towards more human-centered, inclusive, and emotionally resonant approaches to technology and community building. ## Cultural Context and Evolution The field of Interaction Design has been profoundly influenced by cultural movements that emphasize simplicity, emotional connection, and harmony with the environment. The principles of [[Scandinavian Hyggeminimalism]], which blend minimalist aesthetics with the cozy, convivial spirit of hygge, have had a significant impact on interaction design philosophy. Designers now strive to create interfaces and experiences that not only serve functional purposes but also evoke feelings of warmth and community. The [[Elemental]] movement, which emphasizes connection to nature and the classical elements, has also left its mark on interaction design. Interfaces increasingly incorporate natural patterns, textures, and rhythms, creating experiences that feel more grounded and in tune with the environment. This approach is evident in the design of [[Earth-sheltered]] buildings, where digital interfaces seamlessly blend with the organic architecture to create holistic living experiences. ## Social Impact and Community Engagement Interaction design has played a crucial role in shaping new forms of community engagement and social interaction. The concept of [[Digital Hygge Hubs]], an extension of the physical [[Hygge Hubs]] mentioned in the Scandinavian Hyggeminimalism article, has emerged as a popular way to create warm, inviting digital spaces for community gatherings and shared experiences. In urban environments, interaction design has been instrumental in the development of [[Compact Cozy Cities]]. Smart city interfaces, designed with Hyggeminimalist principles in mind, help residents navigate urban spaces, access shared resources, and connect with their neighbors in meaningful ways. These designs often incorporate elements from the [[Feline-Friendly Urban Spaces]] movement, creating environments that cater to both human and animal residents. The [[Skill Swap Network]], previously discussed in the context of minimalist communities, has been reimagined through the lens of interaction design. Digital platforms now facilitate not just the exchange of practical skills, but also the sharing of experiences and emotional support, fostering deeper connections between community members. ## Political and Ethical Considerations The evolution of interaction design has had significant political implications, particularly in the realm of digital rights and accessibility. The [[Digital Inclusion Act of 2032]], passed in response to growing concerns about technological inequality, mandates that all public digital interfaces must be designed to be accessible to users of all abilities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Ethical considerations have become central to interaction design practice. The [[Ethical UX Manifesto]], drafted by a global consortium of designers and ethicists in 2030, outlines principles for creating digital experiences that respect user privacy, promote well-being, and avoid manipulative practices. This manifesto has been widely adopted and has influenced legislation on data protection and digital consumer rights. ## Urban Integration and Spatial Design Interaction design has become increasingly integrated with physical urban spaces, blurring the lines between digital and tangible experiences. Drawing inspiration from the [[Bodhicattva's Buddies]] program in Portland, many cities have implemented interactive public spaces that foster community engagement and social connection. The concept of [[Adaptive Interfaces]], mentioned in previous articles, has been extended to urban environments. Public spaces now feature responsive elements that adapt to user needs and environmental conditions, creating dynamic and inclusive urban experiences. These designs often incorporate principles from the [[Feline-friendly Urban Space]] movement, ensuring that urban areas cater to diverse inhabitants, both human and animal. ## Global Trends and Cross-Cultural Influences While Scandinavian design principles have been influential, interaction design has also been shaped by diverse cultural influences from around the world. The [[Global Design Fusion]] movement celebrates the integration of various cultural aesthetics and interaction patterns into cohesive, globally relevant designs. In communities like [[Little Maldives]] in New York City, interaction designers have worked closely with climate migrants to create digital tools that help preserve cultural heritage while facilitating adaptation to new environments. These projects demonstrate the potential of interaction design to support cultural resilience in the face of global challenges. ## Future Challenges and Opportunities As interaction design continues to evolve, it faces both challenges and opportunities. The increasing sophistication of AI and virtual reality technologies presents new possibilities for creating immersive, responsive environments. However, designers must navigate the ethical implications of these technologies, ensuring that they enhance rather than replace human connection. The ongoing effects of climate change and global migration patterns will likely continue to influence interaction design. Designers are exploring ways to create interfaces that are resilient to environmental disruptions and can adapt to changing social dynamics. The [[Biointeractive Design]] movement, which explores the integration of living organisms into digital interfaces, represents an exciting frontier for the field. In conclusion, Interaction Design in 2035 stands at the intersection of culture, technology, and human experience. By embracing principles of simplicity, emotional resonance, and community engagement, the field has become a powerful force for shaping how we interact with our world and each other. As society continues to evolve, interaction design will undoubtedly play a crucial role in addressing global challenges and enhancing the quality of human life in urban spaces. </article> "

This virtual platform, inspired by the traditional portable dwellings of Central Asian nomads, has become a vibrant digital ecosystem where ancient traditions merge seamlessly with cutting-edge technology. ## Origins and Cultural Significance The concept of the Immersive Digital Yurt emerged in the late 2020s as a response to the increasing diaspora of nomadic peoples due to various socio-economic and environmental factors. Drawing inspiration from initiatives like the [[Digital Shtetls]] and the [[Virtual Reality Religious Conference]], the Digital Yurt project aimed to create a virtual space that could preserve and revitalize nomadic cultures. The Digital Yurt's design philosophy mirrors the physical yurt's circular structure, symbolizing unity and interconnectedness. This virtual space incorporates elements from various nomadic cultures, creating a rich tapestry of traditions that spans from the steppes of Central Asia to the deserts of North Africa. ## Digital Nomadism and Cultural Preservation The Immersive Digital Yurt has become a crucial tool for cultural preservation, particularly for younger generations of nomadic descent who may have never experienced traditional nomadic life. The [[Virtual Heritage Initiative]], housed within the Digital Yurt, uses advanced simulation technology to recreate historical nomadic lifestyles, allowing users to experience everything from traditional herding practices to ancient craft-making techniques. This digital space has also given rise to a new form of digital nomadism. The [[Neo-Nomad Movement]], inspired by the Digital Yurt, combines traditional nomadic philosophy with modern remote work practices. Participants in this movement often use the Digital Yurt as a central hub for networking and cultural exchange while physically traveling the world. ## Social Dynamics and Community Building The Immersive Digital Yurt has fostered unique social dynamics that blend traditional nomadic social structures with digital community-building practices. The [[Digital Aqsaqal Council]], modeled after the traditional elder councils of Central Asian societies, serves as a governing body within the Digital Yurt, making decisions on community matters and cultural representations. Intergenerational connections are strengthened through programs like the [[Digital Fireside Tales]], where elders share traditional stories and wisdom with younger members of the community. This initiative has been particularly successful in bridging geographical and generational gaps within diaspora communities. ## Cross-Cultural Exchange and Digital Diplomacy The Immersive Digital Yurt has become a powerful platform for cross-cultural exchange and understanding. The [[Nomadic Cultural Exchange Program]], inspired by the success of the [[Cosmic Interfaith Lounge]] from the Virtual Reality Religious Conference, facilitates interactions between different nomadic cultures as well as with non-nomadic communities. This virtual space has also emerged as a unique venue for digital diplomacy. The [[Steppe Summit]], an annual gathering of political leaders from countries with significant nomadic heritage, takes place within the Digital Yurt. This event has become an important forum for discussing issues relevant to nomadic peoples and has contributed to several international agreements on cultural preservation and land rights. ## Artistic Expression and Storytelling The Immersive Digital Yurt has sparked a renaissance in nomadic arts and storytelling. The [[Digital Felt Art Gallery]] showcases contemporary works inspired by traditional nomadic textiles, creating a unique fusion of ancient techniques and digital aesthetics. This initiative has gained recognition in the broader art world, with some pieces being featured in major museums' virtual exhibitions. Storytelling within the Digital Yurt has evolved into a participatory and immersive experience. The [[Eternal Epic]] project, a constantly evolving narrative that combines elements from various nomadic oral traditions, allows community members to contribute to and shape the story in real-time. This project has garnered attention from literary scholars and has inspired similar initiatives in other digital cultural spaces. ## Political Implications and Minority Rights The success of the Immersive Digital Yurt has had significant political implications, particularly concerning the rights of nomadic and minority cultures. The [[Digital Cultural Autonomy Act]], passed in several countries, recognizes the Digital Yurt as a protected cultural space, granting it certain legal protections and autonomy. The Digital Yurt has also become a platform for advocacy and political organization. The [[Global Nomad Rights Network]], coordinated through the Digital Yurt, has successfully campaigned for the recognition of nomadic lifestyles and land use practices in international law. ## Challenges and Future Prospects Despite its successes, the Immersive Digital Yurt faces ongoing challenges. Debates about cultural authenticity and the potential loss of physical nomadic practices continue within the community. The [[Tangible Heritage Initiative]] seeks to address these concerns by creating stronger links between digital cultural preservation and physical nomadic lifestyles. As the Digital Yurt evolves, it continues to adapt to the changing needs of nomadic communities worldwide. Experiments with more immersive technologies promise to make the virtual experience even more lifelike. Meanwhile, the [[Hybrid Yurt Model]], which combines physical nomadic dwellings with digital connectivity, is gaining traction as a way to bridge the gap between traditional lifestyles and modern technologies. The Immersive Digital Yurt stands as a powerful example of how traditional cultures can adapt and thrive in the digital age. By providing a space for cultural preservation, community building, and cross-cultural dialogue, it ensures that the rich heritage of nomadic peoples continues to inform and inspire future generations. As the world grapples with challenges like climate migration and cultural homogenization, the Digital Yurt offers a model for maintaining cultural diversity and fostering global understanding in an increasingly interconnected world. </article> "
