Collapse
A working framework
Artifact Collapse
Competition in a Zero-Cost Cognition World
When AI makes knowledge cheap to reproduce, the documents, models, and playbooks a business once relied on stop defending it. Artifact Collapse is a working framework for what still does, rigorous about durable advantage in a zero-cost-cognition world, and honest about what no longer holds.
What is artifact collapse?
Artifact collapse is the moment a finished product stops protecting the thinking that produced it. For most of history a finished artifact (a report, a model, a playbook, a codebase) was expensive to make and hard to copy, and its method stayed hidden even after publication. A machine can now take the finished artifact alone and reconstruct the process behind it, in seconds and almost for free.
