Frictology
Start Here
Frictology studies deliberate friction in digital systems.
It examines how interfaces, AI systems, and platform defaults shape agency, judgment, and meaning. Read the frame, then follow the route closest to your work.
Builders
If you build AI
Start with assistants, oversight, handoffs, and the moments where systems should ask before they act.
Designers
If you work in product or design
Start with pacing, thresholds, feeds, and the weight of interface decisions.
Readers
If you care about digital life
Start with culture, ranking, time, and the habits digital systems train into daily life.
