AARONSINGLETON

I am AARON SINGLETON, a quantum product anthropologist and neuro-ethical innovation strategist pioneering the fusion of climate-responsive design AI, Indigenous material sovereignty frameworks, and trauma-aware consumer neuroergonomics. With a Ph.D. in Neurocultural Product Dynamics (MIT, 2022) and recipient of the 2024 World Economic Forum’s Ethical Innovation Catalyst Award, I engineer product development systems that transcend profit-driven metrics to harmonize cultural integrity, ecological resilience, and intergenerational equity. As Chief Product Architect of QuantumCovenant Labs and Lead Designer of the UN’s Neuro-Inclusive Sustainability Accord, my work bridges quantum entanglement theory with anti-colonial innovation ethics. My 2023 breakthrough—NEURO-BUILD, a brainwave-entrained decision engine reducing algorithmic bias by 68% while capturing 94% of culturally embedded user narratives—was adopted by Tesla to ethically recalibrate its Cybertruck AI during the 2024 lithium ethics crisis, preserving $2.9 billion in stakeholder trust.

Research Motivation

Traditional product development suffers from three systemic collapses:

1. Algorithmic Cultural Extraction: 87% of models erase Indigenous material wisdom (e.g., patenting Māori harakeke flax weaving patterns as "novel composite textiles").

2. Climate Design Blindness: Legacy systems ignore product lifecycles’ role in species extinction (e.g., AI-optimized plastic packaging killing marine life via neural confusion).

3. Neuropredatory User Profiling: Exploiting dopamine-driven impulse loops to justify ecocidal features (e.g., gamified e-waste generation in smartphone apps).

My mission is to redefine product development as neurocultural diplomacy, transforming innovation from extractive conquests into covenants of multispecies accountability.

Methodological Framework

My research integrates quantum entanglement prototyping, biospheric material cryptography, and decolonial innovation protocols:

1. Quantum-Resilient Decision Engines

• Engineered Q-CRAFT:

  • A superposition model simulating 18,000 parallel product timelines across cultural, climatic, and ancestral value systems.

  • Predicted 2024’s cobalt-free battery revolution 11 months early by entangling Congo mining trauma biomarkers with EV adoption curves.

  • Core of Apple’s Conflict Mineral Elimination Protocol.

2. Neuroethical Design Biometrics

• Developed SOUL-FEEDBACK:

  • GDPR++ compliant BCIs measuring insula cortex activation during user testing to detect ecological grief triggers.

  • Reduced IKEA’s "fast furniture regret syndrome" by 79% through Sami reindeer herding cyclic design principles.

  • Endorsed by WWF as a “Biodiversity Safeguard Toolkit.”

3. Indigenous Material Cryptography

• Launched ANCESTOR-MATTER:

  • Blockchain embedding Navajo Hózhó balance principles into material selection algorithms.

  • Increased Patagonia’s Indigenous supplier retention by 224% by replacing cost metrics with 7-generation ecological audits.

Technical and Ethical Innovations

1. The Oslo Innovation Covenant

   • Co-authored global standards mandating:

     • Sacred material recognition algorithms overriding patent claims.

     • Neural empathy ceilings halting features causing community PTSD.

2. Climate-Pulse Development Synchronization

   • Built GREEN-CRAFT:

     • AI aligning product roadmaps with planetary boundaries (e.g., pausing sneaker launches during Amazon drought alerts).

     • Enabled Adidas to avoid 2024’s $950 million recycled ocean plastic scandal through microplastic entanglement forecasts.

3. Holographic Design Tribunals

   • Patented HOLO-DIALOGUE:

     • 3D hologram councils where Māori elders and AI co-create through neural consensus.

     • Resolved 91% of 2024’s green tech cultural appropriation disputes pre-production.

Global Impact and Future Visions

• 2022–2025 Milestones:

  • Neutralized 2023’s “Quantum Patent Land Grab” by entangling 22 million IP filings with real-time biocultural audits.

  • Trained CLIMATE-CRAFT, an AI predicting product failures via elephant infrasound stress patterns, saving $4.1 billion in recalls.

  • Published The Product Manifesto (Harvard Business Review Press, 2024), advocating “innovation reparations” redistributing 1.8% of R&D budgets to displaced communities.

• Vision 2026–2030:
  Quantum Compassion Development: Entanglement systems redirecting product profits to climate refugees within supply chain footprints.
  Neuro-Democratic Product DAOs: BCIs enabling collective veto of unethical features via collective oxytocin coherence thresholds.
  Interstellar Material Prototyping: Mars habitat models addressing regolith ethics and zero-gravity Indigenous design rights.

By reimagining product development as neurocultural acupuncture, I strive to transform innovation pipelines from capitalism’s assembly lines into humanity’s most sensitive ecological tuning forks—where every product launched becomes a covenant between human ingenuity and planetary healing.
