Frontiers of the Empire Project

The Frontiers of the Empire Project explores the boundaries and limits of large-scale systems—such as civilizations, technologies, or economic networks—by studying how they expand, evolve, and sometimes encounter barriers. It aims to understand the dynamics that enable growth and resilience at the edges of complex systems, often using interdisciplinary approaches from science, technology, and policy. Ultimately, the project seeks insights into managing expansion sustainably and innovatively, ensuring these systems can adapt to changing challenges while maintaining stability and robustness at their frontiers.
