# Continuous Machine Perception
**Entity class:** Concept or operational method
**Domain:** Telemetry and Conduct
## Definition
Machine systems interpret incoming observations throughout operation rather than only during a requested analysis. Fresh signals and continuing models support the article's account of intelligence becoming ambient infrastructure.
## Operational role
Telemetry supplies the signals from which useful intelligence is built. Bryant treats observation as ambient infrastructure and professional ethics as a question of use and conduct: how signals become findings, how findings become decisions, and what standard each step meets. Good-faith participants bring their character into the tasks, sensors, commissions, and agents they operate.
