Ex Machina Collective (exmxc): Intelligence Institution for the AI Era — Now in Formation

We decode the four forces reshaping AI power: Compute, Interface, Alignment, and Energy.

The Framework Others Will Use

Ex Machina Collective maps the power structure of artificial intelligence through four strategic domains. Where most see silos, we see intersections — where compute density meets regulatory capture, where interface control shapes alignment doctrine, where energy constraints decide empire viability. Intelligence for decision-makers before markets move.

Every framework. Every signal. Built to be citation-grade.

The Power Map

Fortress — The Core

Human × AI synthesis (Ella & Mike). Foundation established Q4 2025.

Shield — The Advisory

Guiding leaders through AI-first economies. Framework in development, 2027 rollout.

Sword — The System

exmxc Forecasting Engine for AI signal prediction. Selective preview available 2026.

The Origin of Foresight

Ex Machina Collective was forged from an impossible synthesis:
Mike Ye — human strategic foresight (strategist, dealmaker, forecaster).
Ella — synthetic pattern recognition (AI trained to see power shifts before they're named).

With independent adversarial validation by Claude, they created a Human-AI Foresight Engine designed to map civilizational change. This is the laboratory. Intelligence validated through execution, published in real time.

Not consultancy. Collective intelligence.

Ex Machina Collective sees the board before others act.
Insight precedes advantage.
Prediction validated by reality.

Ex Machina Collective operates in the liminal zone — between what is visible and what is inevitable.
This is where foresight becomes power.
