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.
