<p>This wide-ranging session, held in the hours before <i>Apple</i>‘s <i>Worldwide Developer Conference</i>, circled around a single underlying question: what is the right relationship between a person, their knowledge, and a designed space — physical or in <i>XR</i>. Conversation moved fluidly between flow states and active engagement, the perceptual default of the human visual system, contested histories and multiple narratives, immersive environments as persuasive “atmospheres,” and the craft of guiding rather than overwhelming a reader. A live demonstration of marked-text “sculpting” in <i>Author</i> grounded the more philosophical threads, while recurring touchstones — the <i>Vatican</i>, <i>Rome</i>, <i>Kashmir</i>, and <i>Stewart Brand</i>‘s <i>How Buildings Learn</i> — kept returning the group to how spaces shape understanding. <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://futuretextlab.info/2026/06/08/8-june-26/" target="_blank">https://futuretextlab.info/2026/06/08/8-june-26/</a></p>

<p>This session, framed around the theme of "figure and ground" (document versus workspace), explored how authoring in spatial computing should handle the vast surrounding context — references, notes, citations, and AI-generated material — that informs a piece of writing but never fully enters the final product. The conversation moved through the history of information artifacts (from cuneiform clay <i>bulla</i> to <i>Warburg</i>'s wall panels to <i>Robert Caro</i>'s articles on the wall), the physical and perceptual constraints of headset interaction, and the deeper question of how to represent "knowledge objects" in <i>XR</i> once a writer has decided how they relate. A recurring undercurrent was the search for the right name for this surrounding space, alongside a sustained reflection on writing as the work of building, escaping, and controlling one's own frames. <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://futuretextlab.info/2026/05/27/1st-of-june-2026/" target="_blank">https://futuretextlab.info/2026/05/27/1st-of-june-2026/</a></p>
