Cognition Enclosed: Agency, Attention, and the Architecture of Thought in the Age of Algorithmic Capture

We often think of our thoughts as ours. Photo by Google DeepMind on Pexels.com As private, sovereign, and untouched. But what if that’s no longer true? What if, without realising it, the architecture of our minds has been quietly reshaped by the apps we open first thing in the morning, the feeds that anticipate our desires, the notifications that punctuate our days? I wrote this piece not just…

What are people's take on this? The pyramids in the background seem to support the Sutekh theory or are they just mountains?. Triad = Pyramids. Sue's Tech = Sutekh ( a stretch, I know but the Osirans do have advanced tech to rival the time lords). Maybe Susan is a (unwitting) servant of Sutekh like this guy in Pyramid of Mars whose face we never saw:

Looking at the promo pictures, it struck me how similar this image is to Sutekh's time corridor:

Additionally, we see this sand/dust cloud in the trailer. Sutekh wanted to turn all existence to dust:

We know an ancient evil will be awoken from within UNIT using TRIAD technology. Sutekh has been trapped since ancient antiquity but almost escaped in 1911 from a time corridor in UNIT's basement. but the Doctor forced him to age 7000s years, presumably killing him. But if not, he could certainly qualify as The One Who Waits.

We also know S Triad = TARDIS which seems to suggest time lord technology or something similar. If she used a prototype that went wrong, it could have scattered her across time without her knowing and she's experiencing her other lives as dreams.

We also have the matter of the Doctor's TARDIS acting strange, perhaps TRIAD Technology is siphoning energy or life from the Doctor's TARDIS In order to work

Additionally thoughts:

we have a new Tales of Tardis episode airing the day before the finale that will feature Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson. I'm assuming they will be in the Memory Tardis, which we know feeds on stories. which could link to the tv show / unreality theory. Is the Memory Tardis Triad Tech? Maybe she is selling it as a commercial experience to relive memories but it's a Ghost Machine Doomsday situation and she doesn't truly know what she's messing with or that her dreams are actually happening irl as a side effect of using the tech.

Empire of Death- Sutekh is the god of death

Tom Baker is the only Doctor to not appear in Tales of the TARDIS, so the new episode will likely be a Fourth Doctor story. Pyramids of Mars is my bet but are there any credible ideas?

But how to reconcile this with the 'tv show in a tv show' theory and Ruby's parentage? And this is complicated by this claim from RTD that the finale will link back to the Pertwee era, suggesting someone like Omega? Or maybe Susan worked for UNIT back in the 70s and has been building the technology for 50 years andh as only now succeeded with the influence of TOWW.

Every clue seems to raise more questions. I'd love to get people's thoughts as I may be spiraling here.

One thing I am sure of? Susan Triad is not the one in control

Matter of fact transformers are capable of creating a human body.... Facsimile avatars, bio-technological organisms grown in fusion tubes.... I mean in IDW it showed that they transferred the memories in it, programmed them on mission, they are very identical of humans but looks like they also have side effects

I've read a lot of headcanons and theories that try to explain why Fiddleford went from taller than the Stan twins to much shorter.

and sure terrible posture is partially to blame, but look at how all of McGucket is just smaller.

may I propose a canon and likely answer:

I've been thinking about if, instead of morphing to affect/control sparks with his voice, if Tarn's outlier ability had stayed touch based but grew more and more dangerous over time :)

One evening we were very lucky.

I was walking with my boyfriend along the embankment when a steamer sailed towards us from one side, and a balloon landed on the other side. It's so curious that everything happened at the same time🌅😄

Однажды вечером нам очень повезло.

Я гуляла с моим молодым человеком по набережной, когда с одной стороны к нам навстречу плыл пароход, а с другой стороны приземлился воздушный шар. Так любопытно, что все произошло одновременно🌅😄

Immortality is no longer a metaphor. We want a real immortality, we want a technical incarnation of it here and now. This is the new pact with the Devil, sealed and signed in blood by the human race, which prefers to be cryogenized alive rather than await some hypothetical resurrection of bodies.

You know how people say that we already have pixal Nya Jay and sora being interested in mechs and technology or smth? That it’s like so many of them have the same hobbie or smth?

I kinda feel like Jay could be excluded from it. I KNOW I KNOW he was introduced as an inventor or smth, but ngl I feel like barley saw him construct or invent stuff through out the series? At least def not as much as Nya pixal or sora. Like Nya and pixal are the samurai x girlies and Nya was even a mechanic before and all that- they were doing much more. And then there’s sora who, yeah you get my point.

This isn’t hate to Jay, im just saying that hes really at least not at the same level as the others or THAT characterized as an inventor or tech guy. Sure he knows some stuff and is kind of interested, I do think naya and him bond over that. But he’s not really part of the group that’s always creating mechs and stuff.

Edit : ok I wanna mek sure ppl understand 😭 I understand that aspect of his character is kind of there, but I myself just feel like the writers didn’t show enough of that side of him which makes me less sure about how we also call him an inventor or tech and all. It’s a cool part of his character and I don’t think they should take that away, I just think they already DID take it away, making it kinda hard to group him with the other girls who have been shown to be much more prominent with that, uk?

"Tick tock", reminded the clock.

"How long are you planning on wasting time?

Your entire range of movements a thumb flick and a digital click.

All your emotions shown by tears and a frown.

Words coming out in a tantrum.

Entire being full of selfish desires."

But how long must I wait?

All the plans being laid yet not once have been done.

Whenever desperation becomes too much it comes out as selfishness.

When is later?

When is tomorrow?

When is next week?

Why has it been months yet every word felt like a timeloop of a response.

A mere "no" would've been better than have me expect.

All excited for a promise not and never fulfilled.

Maybe I am selfish.

Perhaps I am merely thinking of me, myself.

But how can you blame the selfish beggar who only wanted to be spared time?

It's interesting to see how technology changes over time, including economically. One of the plot points in the 1984 novel Neuromancer involved 3MB of stolen RAM chips (this is the only thing about computers which William Gibson got right). Prior to the 1996 price crash, RAM was easily one of the most expensive parts of a computer. In 1984, a single 3MB RAM chip could have cost about USD$2600, adjusted for inflation as of 2025.

Earlier this afternoon, I placed an order on Newegg for 32GB of RAM, which is the better part of eleven thousand times that, for less than USD$60.
