# Man-Computer Symbiosis **Entity class:** Concept **Research spine:** [[research/Chronology of Signals, Silos, and Sovereign Software - Research|Chronology of Signals, Silos, and Sovereign Software]] ## Definition Man-computer symbiosis is J. C. R. Licklider's 1960 model of humans and computers forming a cooperative system in which machines handle routinizable processing while people set goals and judgments. ## Chronological Proximity It appeared as defense-funded computing and the Stanford technology ecosystem were expanding, decades before wearable soldier systems and Palantir analyst platforms. ## Relational Proximity [[wiki/J. C. R. Licklider|Licklider]] supplied the intellectual model later instantiated in [[wiki/Soldier's Computer|wearable computing]], [[wiki/Palantir Ontology|operational ontologies]], and [[wiki/Artificial Intelligence Platform|AIP]]. ## Collection Routes [[collections/The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace|The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace]] · [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]] · [[wiki/Signals, Silos, and Sovereign Software|Signals, Silos, and Sovereign Software]] ## Sources / Provenance - [[research/Chronology of Signals, Silos, and Sovereign Software - Research|Chronology of Signals, Silos, and Sovereign Software - Research]].
