Cyborg science is what the sciences of the planet have become: human, living and machine intelligence blended into one apparatus of satellites, sensors and climate models. In that apparatus, observing the Earth already changes it. Haraway would recognize the cyborg, I think.
How the word moved
I named it in October 2025, in the first part of PAPE, Planetarity as Philosophical Engineering. The point I wanted to make there is simple. You can't watch a planet at this scale without intervening in it.
In my words
"Observation has become a form of intervention."
from Bhumics: Planetarity as Philosophical Engineering (PAPE), Part 1, 23 Oct 2025
