My contribution

I originated the project, with supervision and input from Dr. Vint Cerf and others who are experts in the area of knowledge preservation, linguistics, and materials science.

The work

Project Ariadne merges ancient Indigenous weaving techniques with advanced materials science to create an innovative system for long-term knowledge preservation. Through AI-driven material simulations, we're developing ultra-durable synthetic fibers designed to withstand millennia while honoring Indigenous textile wisdom.
