mµtators # 68 - prosilience thinkletter mutates

Prosilience Thinkletter (67 issues since april 2022) was a map. Now the map rots, sprouting filaments and spores - the atlas becomes a mycelium.
From this molt emerges mµtators (a term coined in 2021 by my friend in exploration Adolf J. Doerig).
mµtators is not a letter, not a journal but rather a rhizomatic intelligence node1 that ambitions to disrupt linear, anthropocentric models and reconfigures sense-making as an entangled, multi-species practice
Each issue of mµtators will be a mutation: a protocol, a murmur, a game, a visible scar, scattered like spores into your practices. We shall see as art is a living, adaptive network - like mycelium. ;)
September theme will be wabi-sabi (Impermanence. Imperfection. Incompleteness).
Three shards, three fragments, three gentle viruses against the fantasy of perfection. They should not console us - but inoculate us. They remind us that to think is also to let oneself be altered.
mµtators #68 to published September 12.

A rhizomatic intelligence node is a decentralized point of sensing, learning, and adaptation that grows like mycelium: laterally, unpredictably, without hierarchy. Unlike a command center or linear processor, it does not control from above but connects sideways, mutating in response to context and pressure.
It listens through multiple channels at once, translating fragments, anomalies, and murmurs into new patterns of meaning. It thrives in uncertainty, not by seeking stability, but by weaving connections across cracks, ruptures, and unexpected openings.
In times of polycrisis, rhizomatic nodes matter because they resist capture by dominant narratives, distribute resilience (among other) across networks, and act as mycelial cartographers of the unknown.
