The multipolarization of geopolitics and the multipolarization of planetary computation are the same thing from Vertical Atlas: Notes on Multipolar Geopolitics The emergence of planetary scale computation – and the accidental megastructure of The Stack - is a foundational infrastructure of global society and yet in recent years has fragmented into increasingly enclosed domains. Geopolitical dynamics today revolve around computation: hardware, software, networks, and cultural interpretations of digital forms. Data, and more importantly the right to model it, is now a sovereign substance, something over which and from which sovereignty is claimed. Cloud platforms take on roles traditionally performed by modern states, crossing national borders and oceans, conversely states are evolving into cloud platforms. The geopolitical tensions that arise in the friction between these shifts frames the prospects of planetary governance. From Chip Wars to GDPR, this marks a shift toward a more multip

Can the dizzying implications of planetary computation as an increasingly complexifying epistemological, scientific, and geopolitical reality. Artificial intelligence; neuromorphic computation,…
