Reclaiming Knowable Machines Across Systems

After I published my earlier essay titled The Decade We Forgot: How We Traded Intimacy for Scale a reader asked whether it is still practical to foster introspection at scale or whether the economic barrier has become too high to overcome. This article is a direct continuation of that piece. It expands the discussion to tooling, hardware, infrastructure, organisational culture, AI systems and economic incentives. The goal is to show that we can still build machines we understand. My answer is that yes, introspection remains possible at scale, but only if we recognise how many dimensions it touches and act accordingly.
