Artifact Collapse

Competition in a Zero-Cost Cognition World

The Artifact Collapse Group

Judgement Press

Strategy as it has been taught (barriers, assets, durable artifacts) assumed knowledge could be written down once and held. That assumption no longer survives contact with models that ingest and reproduce.

Artifact Collapse is a working framework for what still compounds. Five tests: publication, replication cost, compounding, portability, liability. Six candidate moats. Three classifications: Durable, Conditional, Fragile. It is offered for review, attack, and extension, and it is held as evolvable.

The Living Edition

The book is versioned by chapter, and it keeps running after the print edition is cut. Its home is artifactcollapse.com. Blog Collapse runs the framework on its purest specimen: the blog.
