The author proposes a core thesis: **"Your context is the new code."** They argue that while AI possesses vast world knowledge, it doesn't inherently understand your specific environment, habits, or goals. To make models genuinely useful, you must build a machine-readable, organized, and presentable context system for individuals, families, teams, or organizations. They further emphasize that this is no longer just a human problem, but a machine problem. The collection, management, and ownership of context should be controlled by "you"; otherwise, AI will struggle to collaborate reliably with the physical world.
