At YVAI, I don’t study a discipline in isolation. I take a system, make it an object of observation, and gather the intelligences, knowledge, and conditions necessary to discover what it can become.
My work begins with observation. I observe the system as it exists. I separate it from its known forms.
I look for what is missing, what doesn’t work, what remains hidden, and what has not yet been thought.

Then I incorporate different forms of intelligence and knowledge—artificial, human, biological, environmental, and scientific—to explore new possibilities.
Quantum Design Thinking (QDT) provides the architecture for observation and design. AIs expand my capacity to investigate, compare, generate, and experiment.
The result is not a predetermined answer. It is a new architecture.

Observation → Discovery → Architecture → Experimentation

Configuration	What I Observe	What I Explore
QDT + AIs + Human Intelligence	Human decision-making, behavior, capabilities	New architectures of human–AI interaction
QDT + AIs + Biological Intelligence	How living systems perceive, adapt and organize	New principles of intelligence and adaptation
QDT + AIs + Environment	Relationships between intelligence and surroundings	Intelligent environments and adaptive systems
QDT + AIs + Collective Intelligence	Distributed behavior and decision-making	Architectures for collective intelligence
QDT + AIs + Species Intelligence	Non-human perception, behavior and communication	New models of interaction between species
QDT + AIs + Scientific Knowledge	Complex scientific systems and unresolved problems	Alternative architectures for scientific discovery
QDT + AIs + Quantum Systems	Quantum information, computation and emerging architectures	New ways of thinking about quantum systems
QDT + AIs + Human Systems	Organizations, economies and civilizations	New architectures for human systems
QDT + AIs + Matter	Materials, production and physical systems	New ways of producing and living
QDT + AIs + Planetary Systems	Large-scale relationships between humans, technology and the planet	Architectures for planetary-scale systems

THE OBJECT

Yanina: I transform everything I observe into my OBJECT, so I can manipulate it, break it down into pieces for my discovery, and then generate new versions of my OBJECT. And this can be:

A product.
A company.
A human.
A species.
A technology.
A city.
A material.
An ecosystem.
A civilization.

When something becomes my object, I can observe it from outside its usual form. And that’s where my process begins:
