Knowledge Architecture & Risk Analysis for the Infinity Comic IP
Prepared by: Elise (Eli)
We are using AI to illustrate an Indigenous Mississippian narrative. What we don't know is the extent to which baseline models hold biased representations. The risk is accidentally illustrating Aztec or Plains aesthetics instead of accurate Mound Era artifacts, diluting the historical truth.
The core theme is that memory is physical ("The hands know what the mind forgets", clay, woven baskets). What we don't know is whether the highly kinetic, frictionless medium of a digital phone screen (the infinity scroll) will undermine the message of tactile, grounded memory.
The narrative is poetic, slow, and contemplative. What we don't know is the drop-off rate of modern digital consumers who expect immediate dopamine hooks. Can an 8-panel poetic comic hold attention long enough for the user to grasp the complex systems metaphor?
