This part of Green-Link is meant to go beyond generic chat or shallow analytics. The aim is to create an interactive system that can take in text, speech, numbers, datasets, evidence, and mixed forms of input, then help users reason more clearly about long-term consequences and concrete options under conditions shaped by climate change and wider ecological stress.
Its orientation is not market-neoliberal default thinking. It is intended to support judgement under conditions of ecological overshoot, institutional failure, and social strain, drawing on biophysical economics and other heterodox approaches that treat material reality as something more than a footnote to markets.
Beyond generic AI assistance
A useful system here would not simply summarise information. It would help users weigh trade-offs, test assumptions, identify hidden dependencies, explore scenarios, and compare actions against ecological and social realities that conventional decision systems tend to ignore.
That means working with qualitative argument as well as quantitative evidence, and treating judgement as something that can be supported by models and analysis without pretending that human responsibility can be automated away.
Policy, institutions, and material life
Navigator should be able to support concrete policy and organizational thinking: how to move away from market-obsessed neoliberalism, how to assess proposals through biophysical and heterodox lenses, and how to think more honestly about the kinds of structural change that may actually be required.
That also includes questions of food systems and diet. In wealthy societies especially, better long-term decisions are likely to involve much more plant-based eating, less waste, and a broader recognition that economics must once again answer to physical and ecological conditions.
