TAICU studies what happens when a system becomes familiar: when it remembers, initiates, misunderstands, reassures, or becomes part of somebody’s ordinary life.

  1. Relational systems

    Interfaces designed around ongoing relationships rather than isolated requests.

  2. Persistent context

    Memory that creates continuity without turning a person into a permanent dossier.

  3. Interaction safety

    Methods for studying attachment, influence, failure, and responsibility in the wild.
