Warmth Engine Observatory
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.
Live Platform: www.warmthengine.com
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 14 state actors' sovereign control across the AI infrastructure stack, with four designation levels (PAA, AIK, ACS, Participant)
- MCP Integration — Model Context Protocol server at
warmthengine.com/mcpexposing seven 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)
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/*andwarmthengine.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:
Core Documentation
| Publication | DOI |
|---|---|
| WEO Methodology Manual — Operational specification covering event verification, significance assessment, tier classification, domain classification, industry tagging, environmental nexus tagging, and Coordination Connection methodology | 10.5281/zenodo.18427565 |
| WEO Methodology Rationale — Companion document providing empirical derivation, theoretical grounding, and calibration justification for all methodology components | 10.5281/zenodo.18427582 |
Methodology Extensions
| Publication | DOI |
|---|---|
| Towards Coordination Science: A Framework for Measuring Geopolitical Coordination Dynamics Through Event Relationship Patterns — Coordination Connection metrics and theoretical foundations (Layer 2 framework) | 10.5281/zenodo.18427584 |
| Tier-Crossing Dynamics in Coordination Networks: A Methodology Extension for Cross-Level Connection Analysis — Analytical framework for examining Coordination Connections across different tiers | 10.5281/zenodo.18427586 |
Self-Hosted Documentation
The V1.4 Manual and Rationale are self-hosted as navigable HTML with granular section anchoring:
- Manual:
warmthengine.com/research/methodology/manual/(448 section anchors) - Rationale:
warmthengine.com/research/methodology/rationale/(172 section anchors)
A semantic dictionary (data/weo-methodology-map.json) maps 166 WEO-specific terms to their methodology section anchors, serving both human tooltip navigation and the MCP get_methodology tool.
