Substrates Unbound
Book •
In 'Substrates Unbound' Laura Tripaldi investigates emerging biocomputing systems—such as neuronal cultures interfaced with silicon—and how different living substrates produce divergent learning behaviors.
She contests substrate independence by showing that material makeup, energetic regimes, and ecological costs meaningfully condition computational possibilities.
The essay situates these technical developments within ethical and political frameworks, asking which materials we ask to think and at what cost.
Tripaldi draws connections between soft robotics, neuromorphic devices, and biological networks to argue for a materially plural future of computation.
The work maps experimental cases to broader philosophical questions about agency, responsibility, and material politics.
