xlab

xlab is a speculative lab for frontier ideas — a growing collection of white papers, protocols, and design visions that explore the edges of technology, AI, and the future web.

We focus on foundational questions that shape what's next

This is not a codebase. It's an evolving canvas of questions, frameworks, and provocations — built for open discussion, remixing, and exploration.
