Organelle Convergence Architecture: A Technical Exploration of Application Fusion in the Macroscope Paradigm
Abstract
This field note explores a preliminary architecture for the convergence of four independently developed web applications — YEA (Your Ecological Address), Macroscope Ecological Observatory (MEO), ecoSPLAT, and Macroscope Nexus — into an integrated ecological intelligence system. Drawing on the symbiogenesis metaphor developed in Hamilton (2026), the note considers what a “membrane” for these application-organelles might look like in practice: a shared spatiotemporal index, a common event architecture, and a synthesis layer (STRATA) capable of finding patterns across all four systems. The document is exploratory and records architectural thinking at an early stage of convergence planning. No implementation is proposed here; the goal is to identify the integration surfaces where fusion becomes possible.
