In this course
Euclid's geometric system provides the mathematical foundation for how we conceptualize "possibility space" in the course—the abstract space where potential states and configurations of AI systems can be formally modeled and analyzed. The readings invoke Euclidean geometry as both a historical baseline (the classical metric space against which alternatives are measured) and an ideological anchor, a default sensory and conceptual framework that contrasts with the non-linear, high-dimensional spaces that characterize contemporary algorithmic and networked experience.
