ASEAN is leading the data centre front in the Muslim World, its the link between South East Asia and Middle East that is missing. My point is mostly cultural, exploring trend formation for masses and how elites can be nurtured so those links can be made. Technological development within Islamicate is fractured regardless of government structures, cyberspace was imposed on despots whether they like or not. To extend their rule they have begun to militarily migrating away from GAE, example: egypt-china, saudi-china arms deals. Time will defeat incompetent regimes, but thats a seperate, geopolitical point. What I'm wondering is more on the enactments of cyberculture in these societies and how they can be edited using technologies such as Nostr. We have benefits in Nostr that can circumvent governmental control for the time being.

I haven't come across his predictions on Turkey yet but thanks I'll look into it! Turkey's work is dependant on whether they survive Post Erdogan in my opinion, which I'm not very optimistic. As Europe begins to splinter away from American militarily, the Turkish industrial complex is starting to fill that void. With Italy and Spain signing defence agreements with Turkey, Europe is slowly turning to low cost Turkish tech, over time the Europeans and Americans will want to push Turkey to a confrontation with Russia, fully stretching its policy of wanting to be a middle power.

Injustice, corruption exists in every stage of empire. What changes in the terminal stage is that the mechanisms meant to sustain and regenerate society begin to break down.
The State survives not by idea production but by financial coercion through interest/taxation and moral depravity through perversion. Creating a negative feedback loop. There is no change, every outrage is a calculated distraction aimed at organisaing the herd.

Centralised GAE accelerating, peripheral South American actors will no longer enjoy the little bit of autonomy they had in the old world. Simply aligning with Russia is not enough to be safe. Europe is no longer an "ally" but is seen as a troubled territory to be absorbed within the core to avoid civilisational collapse.

The ring begins from the centre and expands to includes the periphery. Essentially serving as the framework. A framework made out of silicon, electromagnetic infrastructure. The framework expands through cognition relays (nostr technologies), exchaging the knowledge necessary to grow the framework to include all peripheries.
Nostr is the management of data transmission in a splinternet ring system.

Loading 4 of the SAIF mag had me thinking about how civilisations are essentially deep operating systems. How the different nodes of Islamicate draw from local geography and history to form distinct methods of technology and engineering. Viewing STEM through the lens of cosmotechnics as Yuk Hui argues.
Thinking about sharing my thoughts on how can this fit in within a wider Ummatic Splinternet framework, exploring the relationship between the centre and the peripheries.

As things stand with GAE's increasingly colonial objectives in MENA. The question isn't whether increased military spending is enough for the survival of the regimes in the region. The question is what does survival look like to different regional actors . UAE and others in the Gulf saw this in the 2010's and completely hedged their bets with rented sovereignty becoming a direct extension to GAE. Building a cyber state effective in lulling population and providing GaaS. Hence becoming an important component in GAE's machine.
Gaining control of USCENTCOM as soon as possible will be the endpoint that Israel wants to actualise Greater Israel and beyond with regional partners such as UAE providing economic support. They realise time is running out, especially with powers such as Turkey, Syria and potentially Egypt eventually gaining the ability to contest Israeli aerial superiority.
Given the internal political climates of the three nations above, survival becomes paramount

"What disrupted this long-standing pattern was the emergence of Modern Techno-Industrial (MTI) society. This was not merely a new phase in economic production or political organisation, but a radical departure from all previous modes of existence. It introduced entirely new forms of energy capture, technological innovation, and systems of knowledge production. Crucially, MTI society managed, at least temporarily, to decouple population growth from the harsh checks of nature. Scientific medicine blunted the impact of disease. Mechanised agriculture and synthetic fertilisers pushed back the spectre of famine. Industrial-scale warfare became more devastating, but also more restrained by political and technological means. For the first time in the species’ history, H. sapiens had constructed a system powerful enough to hold back the ancient forces of collapse. But whether that system is stable, sustainable, or survivable in the long term remains an open question."

It seems the protocol is built to be central proof because of the fact that relays can be hosted anywhere. With each relay potentially using different types of network connections, I will be interested to see which percentage of the Nostr protocol relies on fiber optics for data transmission between relays. Although I think acceptance of Nostr will depend on the state

2025-08-04 16:40:31 UTC

Why all the signs of Muslim splinternet formation point to Nostr.
We saw with the Arab spring how 21st century coups are formed through centralised cognition conditioning due to the West's monopoly on Fiber optics
But with Nostr being an option for network formation, that takes care of cognition. What will be difficult is the fiber optics side, which would require an anchor state that's capable of developing an independent global fiber optic cable system which will be able to independently power these Nostr networks through data centers. Developing data centers for this will be a separate challenge

2025-07-29 20:05:33 UTC

Yes depending on the speciality and stage of development. I work on developing data centres and other emerging critical infrastructure, so @nprofile…r7eh 's writings on OPSEC and LLM's was relatable on a technical level, however I'm yet to meet someone on the network that actually works on this beyond theory which is understandable as it is still nascent.
I'm thinking more of setting a framework that can map areas of development within the Islamicate to achieve splinternet formation. At that level it would need group work ofc

I expected from their posts on X that they'll be quite active on Nostr which surprised me when I fully made the hijra. Whilst being a part of the group looks cool practically I think taking what they theorise and implementing it in a chosen speciality is more realistic

Criticism of Nostr stems from a distorted view of social media. The social element in these apps has long been erased and replaced by the algorithmic spirit.
There is no you, every interaction is steered. If you're criticising Nostr because it's not big enough you need to ask yourself what does being social in the digital age actually mean.

Yuk Hui critiques the homogenising technological systems of modernity, arguing for a cosmotechnics that recognises diverse technological approaches and ways of relating to the world.
That cannot be done without recognising the roles that culture and ethics have on building an independant course of technological development. China was able to develop at an accelerated pace, this however, wasn't because it was able to chart its own distinct technological way of looking at the world.
Rather, it represents an accelerated version to the Western project. Which is why we see both China and the US being tied economically rather than being two indepedant competing trains of development, they both need each other to move forward.
This is why philosophers like Yuk Hui are important and influencial to the nodes of the early Cyber Islamic network like SAIF, anything we do to develop needs to be grounded in Ihsan and Ibadah.

I really appreciate what you''ve done with it, maybe you could set up an account on X encouraging people to make that jump onto the Nostr network.
I think we see the over-reliance on AI really manifest itself within STEM industries. Personally, I've seen people who use it for every email/ written corporate comms 😭.
He who loses the ability to write, eventually loses the ability to think. Traditional SM platforms do encourage shorter attention span, ones dependance on AI is a symptom of how entrenched they are in these 'fiat' apps.
These limitations on Nostr I think can provide that balance.
