HHMMUU
HHMMUU is an acronym used in speculative design and human–machine interaction literature to denote the framework of Human-Machine Modularity and Universal Utility. The term is not tied to a single, officially sanctioned standard; rather, it appears in design fiction, workshop notes, and some interdisciplinary papers as a way to discuss interoperable, modular systems that connect humans with autonomous agents in complex environments.
The concept arose in the early 2020s within design fiction circles and human–computer interaction discussions as
HHMMUU emphasizes modularity of components, standardized interfaces, adaptability to context, and a focus on universal utility—the
In scholarly and design discourse, HHMMUU is used to frame research on smart cities, robotics collaboration,
As a speculative construct, HHMMUU provides a vocabulary for imagining future systems but lacks empirical validation
