# Vehicles and Buildings as Intelligence Substrates **Entity class:** Concept or operational method **Domain:** Future Intelligence ## Definition Physical assets host sensors, interfaces, and operational records that can support continuing intelligence. Bryant's future architecture places collection within environments people already use. ## Operational role Bryant projects intelligence toward persistent collaborators and continuously sensed environments. Memory, access, compute, orchestration, and provenance determine what these systems can perceive and do. The future concepts name possible architectures and participation roles beyond the current products used to motivate them. **Architecture connections:** [[wiki/Machine Intelligence|Machine Intelligence]] · [[wiki/AI Agent|AI Agent]] · [[wiki/Agentic Memory|Agentic Memory]]. ## Relationships - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Post-Platform Sensor Architecture|Post-Platform Sensor Architecture]]. - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Sensor Mesh|Sensor Mesh]]. - **collection route:** [[collections/The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace|The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace]]. - **counterterrorism architecture:** [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]]. - **source article:** [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft|The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft#XII.
