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."

While her influence is widespread, her theories have also faced significant opposition, sparking intense debates about the nature of order and progress in society. Against a backdrop of global changes, Zhao's work continues to shape discussions on adaptability and resilience in an uncertain world. </summary> <article> # Dr. Lydia Zhao Dr. Lydia Zhao, born in 1990 in Shanghai, China, has emerged as one of the most influential and controversial thinkers of the early 21st century. By 2035, her work has profoundly impacted political philosophy, cultural expression, and social organization on a global scale. As the founder of the [[Entropic Front]] movement, Zhao has challenged traditional notions of order and stability, advocating for the embrace of chaos and unpredictability as guiding principles for society. ## Early Career and Development of Entropic Theory Zhao's academic journey began with studies in complex systems theory and political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her early work focused on the application of chaos theory to social systems, laying the groundwork for what would later become the core principles of the Entropic Front. In 2025, Zhao published her first major work, "[[The Illusion of Control: Rethinking Social Order in the Age of Uncertainty]]." This book challenged prevailing notions of social and political stability, arguing that attempts to impose rigid order on human societies were not only futile but counterproductive. The book gained attention in academic circles and set the stage for Zhao's more radical ideas to come. ## "Embracing Chaos" and the Birth of the Entropic Front The publication of "[[Embracing Chaos: A New Social Order]]" in 2029 marked a turning point in Zhao's career and in broader social and political discourse. The book presented a comprehensive philosophy of embracing unpredictability and disorder as natural and even desirable states for human systems. Zhao introduced the concept of "dynamic equilibrium," proposing that societies function best when allowed to self-organize and adapt to changing conditions without top-down control. The ideas presented in "Embracing Chaos" resonated strongly with a generation disillusioned by the perceived failures of traditional institutions to address global challenges. The book quickly became a bestseller and sparked the formation of the Entropic Front movement, with Zhao as its intellectual leader. ## Political and Governance Impact The rise of the Entropic Front has significantly disrupted traditional political structures. In several countries, Entropic parties have gained seats in parliaments, advocating for radical decentralization of power and the dismantling of bureaucratic systems. Zhao's ideas have directly influenced new governance models, such as the [[Fluid Governance Model]] implemented in [[New Singapore]] in 2033. This system replaces fixed governmental departments with temporary, project-based teams that form and dissolve as needed. The use of sortition (random selection) for certain leadership positions, a key feature of this model, is derived from Zhao's writings on introducing elements of randomness into decision-making processes. The [[Global Entropy Index]], introduced in 2032, has become a controversial but widely cited metric for measuring a nation's adaptability and resilience in the face of change, further cementing the influence of Zhao's ideas in policy circles. ## Cultural and Artistic Influence Zhao's philosophy has sparked a renaissance in cultural and artistic expression. The resurgence of [[Neo-Dadaism]] and the emergence of [[Entropy Prose]] in literature can be directly traced to the influence of Entropic Front ideas. Artists and writers have embraced randomness and non-linear structures as ways to challenge traditional forms and explore new modes of expression. The [[Flux Galleries]], showcasing constantly changing and interactive exhibits, have become cultural hubs in major cities worldwide, embodying the Entropic Front's emphasis on fluidity and unpredictability in artistic expression. ## Global Spread and Adaptations While Zhao's ideas originated in a largely Western context, they have spread globally, adapting to various cultural contexts. In Japan, Entropic principles have merged with the concept of [[ma]] (negative space) to create a unique approach to social and organizational design. The [[Ubuntu-Flux Synthesis]] in Africa has combined traditional communal values with the fluidity of chaotic systems, offering new approaches to development challenges. The [[Global Entropy Network]], a loose coalition of Entropic political parties and organizations from various countries, has become a significant force in international relations, advocating for more fluid and adaptable approaches to global governance. ## Criticisms and Counter-Movements Despite her global influence, Zhao's ideas have faced strong criticism and opposition. The [[Neo-Rationalist Movement]] argues that embracing chaos will lead to societal collapse and a breakdown of essential services. Critics accuse the Entropic Front of providing cover for corporate and political actors to evade responsibility, arguing that the celebration of unpredictability can be used to justify negligence and lack of planning. The [[Order Restoration League]], a grassroots organization, has gained popularity in many communities, organizing local initiatives to maintain traditional structures and predictability in daily life. ## Legacy and Ongoing Influence As of 2035, Dr. Lydia Zhao continues to be a powerful and controversial voice in global affairs. Her appointment as a special advisor to the [[United Nations Adaptive Governance Initiative]] in 2034 marked a significant recognition of her ideas at the highest levels of international governance. The [[Zhao Institute for Dynamic Systems]], established in 2033, has become a leading center for research on applying Entropic principles to various fields, from urban planning to education reform. The institute's annual [[Chaos and Creativity Symposium]] attracts thinkers and leaders from around the world, cementing Zhao's legacy as a transformative figure in 21st-century thought. In a world subtly shaped by ongoing climate migrations and rapid technological change, Dr. Zhao's emphasis on adaptability and embracing uncertainty continues to offer both a challenging and a potentially transformative perspective on how societies can navigate an increasingly complex global landscape. </article> "

The Entropic Front's philosophy has gained traction globally, challenging established norms and sparking both fervent support and strong opposition. Its rise reflects broader societal shifts in response to increasing complexity and uncertainty in the world, subtly influenced by factors such as climate change and technological advancements. </summary> <article> # Entropic Front ## Origins and Philosophy of the Entropic Front The Entropic Front, a cultural and political movement that gained prominence in the early 2030s, represents a radical departure from traditional notions of order and stability in society. Rooted in the scientific concept of entropy, the movement embraces unpredictability and disorder as natural and even desirable states for human systems. The philosophy of the Entropic Front was first articulated in the influential 2029 manifesto "[[Embracing Chaos: A New Social Order]]" by social theorist [[Dr. Lydia Zhao]]. Zhao argued that attempts to impose rigid order on human societies were not only futile but counterproductive, stifling creativity and resilience. Instead, she proposed a new model of "dynamic equilibrium" where constant change and adaptation were seen as strengths. This ideology quickly resonated with a generation disillusioned by the perceived failures of traditional institutions to address global challenges. The Entropic Front positions itself as a response to the increasing complexity of the world, arguing that only by embracing uncertainty can societies hope to thrive. ## Political Impact and Governance Models The rise of the Entropic Front has significantly disrupted traditional political structures. In several countries, Entropic parties have gained seats in parliaments, advocating for radical decentralization of power and the dismantling of bureaucratic systems. The [[Fluid Governance Model]], first implemented in the city-state of [[New Singapore]] in 2033, exemplifies the Entropic Front's approach to politics. This system replaces fixed governmental departments with temporary, project-based teams that form and dissolve as needed. Decision-making processes incorporate elements of randomness, such as the use of sortition (random selection) for certain leadership positions. Critics argue that these models lead to instability and inefficiency, but proponents claim they allow for greater adaptability and citizen engagement. The ongoing experiment in New Singapore has become a closely watched case study in entropic governance. ## Cultural Expressions and Artistic Movements The Entropic Front has inspired a wide range of cultural expressions and artistic movements. [[Neo-Dadaism]] has experienced a resurgence, with artists embracing randomness and absurdity in their work. The [[Flux Galleries]], which showcase constantly changing and interactive exhibits, have become popular cultural hubs in major cities. In literature, the [[Entropy Prose]] movement challenges traditional narrative structures, producing works with non-linear storylines and randomly generated elements. Authors like [[Zara Nkosi]] have gained cult followings for their unpredictable and genre-defying novels. Music has also been profoundly influenced, with the rise of [[Quantum Jazz]], a genre that incorporates elements of improvisation and algorithmic composition to create unique performances that can never be replicated. ## Social Dynamics and Community Responses The Entropic Front's philosophy has had significant implications for social organization and community life. [[Flux Communities]], inspired by entropic principles, have emerged in urban areas. These communities reject fixed housing assignments and rigid social structures, instead embracing constant movement and reconfiguration of living spaces and social groups. The [[Random Encounter Initiative]], a social experiment adopted in several cities, encourages citizens to engage in activities and meetings with randomly selected community members, aiming to break down social bubbles and foster diverse connections. However, these radical approaches to social organization have also faced backlash. The [[Stability Now]] movement has gained traction in many areas, advocating for a return to more traditional community structures and predictable social norms. ## Global Spread and International Implications The Entropic Front has spread beyond national borders, challenging traditional notions of international relations and diplomacy. The [[Global Entropy Network]], a loose coalition of entropic political parties and organizations from various countries, has advocated for more fluid and adaptable approaches to global governance. This has led to tensions in international bodies like the United Nations, where Entropic Front representatives have pushed for reforms that would introduce more randomness and rotation in decision-making processes. The [[2034 World Entropy Summit]] in [[Reykjavik]] marked a significant moment in the movement's global recognition, though it also highlighted deep divisions between nations embracing entropic principles and those resisting them. ## Critiques and Counter-Movements As the Entropic Front has gained influence, it has also faced strong criticism and opposition. The [[Neo-Rationalist Movement]] argues that embracing chaos will lead to societal collapse and a breakdown of essential services. They advocate for evidence-based policy-making and structured approaches to addressing global challenges. Some critics accuse the Entropic Front of providing cover for corporate and political actors to evade responsibility, arguing that the celebration of unpredictability can be used to justify negligence and lack of planning. The [[Order Restoration League]], a grassroots organization, has gained popularity in many communities, organizing local initiatives to maintain traditional structures and predictability in daily life. As the world grapples with ongoing changes and uncertainties, the Entropic Front remains a controversial but influential force, challenging long-held assumptions about the nature of society, governance, and human organization. Whether its principles will lead to a more adaptable and resilient world or to increased instability remains a subject of intense debate and real-world experimentation. </article> "

The global spread of this philosophy has led to diverse interpretations and applications across different cultures, reshaping the way societies approach order, progress, and adaptation in an increasingly complex world. </summary> <article> # Embracing Chaos: A New Social Order "Embracing Chaos: A New Social Order" stands as a seminal work in the evolution of social and political thought in the early 21st century. Published in 2029 by social theorist [[Dr. Lydia Zhao]], this influential manifesto has become the cornerstone of the [[Entropic Front]] movement and has significantly shaped cultural, social, and political landscapes around the world by 2035. ## Origins and Philosophy of "Embracing Chaos" At its core, "Embracing Chaos" posits that traditional notions of order and stability are not only outdated but actively harmful to societal progress. Dr. Zhao argues that attempts to impose rigid structures on human societies stifle creativity, resilience, and adaptability. Instead, she proposes a new model of "dynamic equilibrium" where constant change and adaptation are seen as strengths rather than weaknesses. The philosophy draws heavily on concepts from complexity theory, evolutionary biology, and quantum physics. It suggests that societies, like natural systems, function best when allowed to self-organize and adapt to changing conditions without top-down control. This idea resonated strongly with a generation disillusioned by the perceived failures of traditional institutions to address global challenges. ## Political and Governance Implications The impact of "Embracing Chaos" on political structures has been profound. The rise of [[entropy politics]] has seen traditional hierarchical governance models challenged by more fluid and adaptive systems. The [[Fluid Governance Model]], first implemented in [[New Singapore]] in 2033, exemplifies this approach, replacing fixed governmental departments with temporary, project-based teams that form and dissolve as needed. In many countries, political parties aligned with the [[Entropic Front]] have gained significant influence, advocating for radical decentralization of power and the dismantling of bureaucratic systems.

Origins and Concept 2. Cultural Impact 3. Social Dynamics 4. Political Implications 5. Global Variations and Controversies </thoughts> <summary> Mythological Parkour, a cultural phenomenon emerging in the early 2030s, combines the physical discipline of parkour with the narrative richness of mythology. This unique blend of urban athletics and storytelling has gained significant traction globally, reflecting societal desires for meaningful physical expression and connection to cultural heritage in modern cityscapes. The practice has sparked debates about public space usage, cultural appropriation, and the role of traditional narratives in contemporary society, while also fostering new forms of community and social commentary. </summary> <article> # Mythological Parkour Mythological Parkour, often referred to as "MythPark" or "M-Park," is a cultural phenomenon that emerged in the early 2030s, blending the physical discipline of parkour with the narrative richness of world mythologies. This unique fusion of urban athletics and storytelling has rapidly gained popularity across diverse communities, reflecting a broader societal shift towards finding meaning and connection in increasingly complex urban environments. ## Origins and Concept The concept of Mythological Parkour was first introduced by [[Zephyr Huang]], a performance artist and former professional parkour athlete, in her 2031 viral video "Hermes Runs Tokyo." In this piece, Huang traversed the Japanese capital while embodying the Greek messenger god, incorporating elements of traditional myth into her movements and interacting with the city in ways that evoked ancient stories. Inspired by Huang's work, practitioners around the world began developing their own mythological parkour routines, each drawing from different cultural traditions and urban landscapes. The practice quickly evolved from individual performances to group events and even competitive leagues. ## Cultural Impact Mythological Parkour has had a profound impact on urban culture, sparking a renewed interest in both physical fitness and traditional narratives. This revival has manifested in various ways: - The rise of "[[myth-urban fashion]]," clothing that blends practical athleticism with mythological motifs - An increase in public art installations that incorporate mythological themes and parkour-friendly designs - The popularization of "[[story-runs]]," guided urban tours that combine jogging with mythological storytelling The movement has also led to heated debates about cultural appropriation and the modernization of sacred narratives. In response, many Mythological Parkour communities have established [[cultural advisory boards]] to ensure respectful and accurate representations of diverse mythological traditions. ## Social Dynamics Mythological Parkour has become an important social phenomenon, attracting practitioners from various backgrounds and age groups. The shared experience of embodying mythical figures while navigating urban spaces has fostered a unique sense of community among participants. [[Myth Crews]], groups that meet regularly to practice and perform Mythological Parkour together, have become popular in many cities. These crews often focus on specific mythological traditions or themes, creating a support network for participants and organizing public performances. The phenomenon has also given rise to new forms of social interaction, such as [[Mythological Flashmobs]], where practitioners surprise unsuspecting crowds with synchronized mythological parkour performances in public spaces. ## Political Implications The Mythological Parkour movement has not been without controversy. Some city officials have criticized the practice as a potential safety hazard and a form of public nuisance. Others have embraced it as a means of promoting physical activity and cultural education in urban areas. In several cities, debates have erupted over whether Mythological Parkour should be regulated or even banned in certain areas. The [[Global MythPark Alliance]], an international organization representing Mythological Parkour practitioners, has lobbied for the recognition of the practice as a legitimate form of cultural expression and physical exercise. The movement has also intersected with broader political discussions about public space usage and urban development. Some activist groups have used Mythological Parkour as a form of protest, highlighting issues of accessibility and the privatization of public spaces through performances that challenge traditional boundaries. ## Global Variations and Controversies As Mythological Parkour has spread globally, it has adapted to local contexts and mythological traditions. Some notable variations include: - [[Aztec Sky Runners]] in Mexico City, incorporating elements of Mesoamerican mythology into vertical parkour routines on skyscrapers - [[Dreamtime Traceurs]] in Australia, blending Aboriginal creation stories with parkour movements that mimic native animals - [[Nordic Frost Flows]] in Scandinavia, adapting Viking sagas to parkour practiced in snowy urban environments The practice has also faced criticism and controversy in various contexts. In some countries, religious authorities have condemned Mythological Parkour as a form of blasphemy or disrespect towards sacred traditions. Others have praised it as a way of keeping ancient stories alive and relevant for younger generations. The issue of cultural appropriation remains a contentious topic within the Mythological Parkour community. While some argue for the free exchange and blending of mythological traditions, others insist on strict adherence to one's own cultural heritage. This debate has led to the development of [[Cultural Origin Certifications]] for professional Mythological Parkour performers, though the effectiveness and ethics of such measures remain disputed. As Mythological Parkour continues to evolve, it reflects a broader societal desire to find meaning, connection, and physical expression in urban environments. By blending ancient narratives with modern movement disciplines, this practice offers a unique approach to navigating the complexities of contemporary city life while honoring diverse cultural traditions. </article> "
