Warmth Engine Observatory (WEO)

AI Infrastructure Coordination Dynamics

Overview

The Warmth Engine Observatory tracks AI infrastructure coordination dynamics across geopolitical blocs through verified events and mapped Coordination Connections.

Scope: WEO tracks systemic AI infrastructure coordination — observable coordination dynamics between major power centres (currently nation-states and geopolitical blocs). This differs from operational AI infrastructure management, which addresses how organisations run their own AI systems.

Platform Components

• Event Database — Verified AI infrastructure coordination events classified by tier (Cross-Bloc, Between-Bloc, Intra-Bloc) and domain (Energy/Infrastructure, Security, Technology, Trade), tagged by industry sector (11-category GICS-anchored taxonomy) and assessed for environmental intersections via Environmental Nexus Tags (5-type ENT taxonomy with Warmth Engine Ratio)

• Coordination Connections — Documented relationships between events revealing structural patterns across the database (Policy Cascade, Joint Issuance, Funding Flow, Regulatory Enablement, Response, Framework Family, Parallel Policy)

• Interactive Map — Geographic visualisation of global AI infrastructure deployment

• Interactive Atlas — Network, timeline, and connectedness analytical surface for exploring coordination topology and event relationships via Cytoscape.js

• Evidence-Based Verification — Every event verified through primary and corroborating sources with gold standard evidentiary requirements

• Sovereign Capability Profiles — 7-dimension framework assessing 20 state actors' sovereign control across the AI infrastructure stack, with four designation levels (PAA, AIK, ACS, Participant); includes qualification headlines, constraint summaries, sourced evidence, and severance analysis

• Profiles Page — Standalone /profiles/ page rendering the full SCP panel with dimension filtering, actor detail expansion, and Dimension Watch table

• Dimension Watch — Forward-looking monitoring table identifying actors approaching a designation status change at the next assessment cycle, with trigger conditions and timeline estimates

• Infrastructure Threads — Factual cross-event links documenting where the same AI infrastructure asset (chip or accelerator, energy source, or fabrication facility) appears across multiple verified events, with four link types (fabricated_at, deploys, trains_on, powered_by); toggleable overlay on the Atlas and queryable via get_threads

• Guided Journeys — Operator-curated analytical pathways across three substrates on the Atlas: coordination (directional coordination lineage), hardware (infrastructure thread links), and all layers (fusion traversal spanning coordination, material, and capability layers)

• Coordination Topology — Parent-child coordination backbone mapping directional relationships (Policy Cascade, Funding Flow, Regulatory Enablement, Response) across the event corpus, powering the Atlas network view

• MCP Integration — Model Context Protocol server at warmthengine.com/mcp exposing sixteen programmatic tools for AI systems to query verified Coordination Intelligence (search_events, get_event, get_connections, get_connection_by_id, get_actors, get_coverage_stats, get_methodology, get_topology, traverse_coordination, get_capability_signatures, get_capability_links, get_threads, get_event_stack, query_scp, get_blocs, get_contribution)

Architecture

The platform uses a decoupled architecture: HTML files serve as lightweight UI shells that fetch data dynamically from the WEO API (Cloudflare Worker + KV).

• Data source: Cloudflare KV via WEO API (warmthengine.com/api/)

• MCP endpoint: warmthengine.com/mcp (Model Context Protocol for AI agent access)

• Authentication: Token-based (?token=weo_xxx) for API and MCP consumers; password header for website

• Fallback: Static JSON file for API downtime resilience

• Hosting: GitHub Pages with custom domain

• Routes: Managed via wrangler.toml (warmthengine.com/api/* and warmthengine.com/mcp*)

Data updates flow through the API — no HTML changes required for new events or connections.

Methodology Documentation

The WEO methodology is documented across four publications, all available on Zenodo with DOI registration:

Methodology Extensions

Self-Hosted Documentation

The V1.5 Manual and Rationale are self-hosted as navigable HTML with granular section anchoring:

• Manual: warmthengine.com/research/methodology/manual/ (490 section anchors)

• Rationale: warmthengine.com/research/methodology/rationale/ (193 section anchors)

• Errata & Corrigenda: warmthengine.com/research/methodology/errata/ — V1.5 errata and corrigenda (expression corrections and substantive corrections to reported findings, with machine-readable errata.json)

A semantic dictionary (data/weo-methodology-map.json) maps 185 WEO-specific terms to their methodology section anchors, serving both human tooltip navigation and the MCP get_methodology tool.
