Summary

What happens to public consensus when every interface adapts to a different model of the person using it?

Research Report DRI-RP-2026-03 examines personalization and consensus through the institute's public-interest lens: how technical systems change agency, trust, memory, and shared reality.

Research context

This publication is part of Drifting Reality Institute's ongoing archive of research, essays, guides, and public analysis. It connects product analysis with civic questions about consent, contestability, identity, and institutional accountability.

Where real companies or products are discussed, the analysis is based on public materials, observable interface patterns, and clearly identified interpretation rather than claims about private intent.
