Knowledge is not an individual possession. It is an ancestral relay.
Research Focus
We reframe migration as a temporal relay where knowledge survives only by passing through generations rather than being possessed by individuals. Drawing on biological models like the monarch butterfly and Indigenous Australian epistemologies such as Tjukurrpa, we argue that true continuity requires maintaining a relational field across time. We contrast the modern focus on “meness”—which traps information within a single lifespan—with “ourness,” a state where meaning remains mobile and alive through collective responsibility. Ultimately, we suggest that civilizational survival depends on our capacity to sustain intergenerational coherence rather than simple data accumulation. Knowledge is thus redefined as an ancestral pattern that must be repeatedly re-animated to prevent the onset of cultural amnesia.
