A SEA of Distributed AI

South Beast Asia (SBA) is a fictional worldbuilding project in which AI is distributed across people, families, objects and communities rather than centralized in corporations or states. The essay describes ten traits developed at the Khlongs & Subaks workshop, including embodied AIs called beaings, family-held AI memory systems called Airlooms, and zodiac-based segmentation that spreads users across multiple competing AI providers. It also covers the Tapestry, a shared memory system of daily "knots" whose access is gated by proof-based protocols, and commons consent, which requires AI-assisted approval for laws affecting public commons. The text presents these as adjacent imagined timelines rather than a fixed canon.
