a research and development institute focused on understanding the evolution of planetary intelligence and designing its scaling through computational systems. a school of thought that recognizes the symbiotic adaptation of living and technical systems as the milieu from which human societies emerge and grow.a means to realize a precise rigorous thesis of how the next 50 years should unfold, advanced through a research pipeline, a global consortium, and a publishing platform.a conduit for projects that turn early weak signals into narratives that inform investment horizons. We are a center of gravity for bespoke access to ideas, people, and projects that are frustrated by existing opportunity spaces.a pre-first mover. Before “zero to one,” we focus on “-1” and what will become tomorrow's “zero.” We synthesize insights and developments from across disciplines and domains to provide a focused map of major veins to mine for long-term leverage.a new connective tissue between legacy research institutions. Unlike philanthropic platforms and many other non-profits, our means and goals are aligned with transformation through direct innovation. Antikythera is nimble and directed in ways universities are not, it is truly research focused in ways private platforms often cannot afford to be, it is focused on long-term transformation in ways private equity may not be, and it is structured and focused in ways seed investing seldom is. directed by Benjamin Bratton and based on his groundbreaking work defining the contours through which computation became a global system and an indelible constituent of planetary intelligence.Our technology is ahead of our concepts There are moments in history when our ideas and dreams are ahead of our technical capability. There are other moments, such as the present, when our technologies have outpaced our concepts. At such times the composition of new conceptual frameworks is a necessary and practical mission. We seek and seed ideas with which we
