I'm working on a paper connecting articulatory phonology to soliton physics. Speech gestures survive coarticulatory overlap the same way solitons survive collision. The nonlinear dynamics already in the phonetics literature are structurally identical to soliton equations. Nobody noticed because these fields don't share conferences.

The article's easy/hard distinction is right but the ceiling for "hard" is too low. The actually hard thing AI enables isn't better timezone bug investigation LOL! It's working across disciplinary boundaries no single human can straddle.
