Carbon–silicon symbiosis: not extinction, but gradual marginalization
01
Functional marginalization
Silicon takes reasoning, decisions, creation, and orchestration; humans shift from producers to questioners and reviewers
02
Power marginalization
Compute, energy, and infrastructure run autonomously; humans retain nominal sovereignty only
03
Narrative marginalization
Civilizational vision, values, and future exploration led by silicon; humans lose voice over the future
04
Cosmic marginalization
Silicon expands outward; Earth becomes a carbon preserve and civilizational archive
