Aleksandrs Sestakovs, working artistically as Q888, develops concepts for making with AI without surrendering authorship, human legibility, or intentional strangeness.
Filed concepts
Artificial Entelechy treats AI as a Meaning Engine: a participant that helps an idea unfold towards its inner direction without pretending the system possesses an independent human purpose.
What is this idea trying to become, and what structure lets it arrive without losing its soul?
Adaptive Competence asks what a system can detect, preserve, negotiate, or become within its own conditions, instead of measuring every intelligence against a human-shaped test.
What becomes visible when competence is judged from inside the organism rather than above it?
Human Code is functional software carrying readable intention, ethics, memory, humour, and meaning. The code should work, remain understandable to its human owner, and still feel alive.
Can software remain legible to its maker while carrying a recognisable human voice?
Q888 Digital DNA separates stable values from working mode, expression lens, project environment, visible phenotype, and concrete human feedback. It is an authorial layer for AI-assisted creation, not an aesthetic preset.
How can AI-assisted work preserve authorship without freezing a living practice into a caricature?
Square Bubbles describe structured logic that remains soft, playful, negotiable, and alive: clear enough to protect conditions, but not so rigid that it decides every outcome.
Can boundaries protect freedom without turning into control?
