Proposes treating thought itself as the primary substrate for human-AI interaction, arguing that interfaces should be built around cognitive processes rather than conversational turn-taking. Liu shifts the frame from communication to cognition: instead of asking “what did the user say?”, a thought-substrate interface asks “what is the user thinking, attending to, or trying to figure out?” The implications for interaction design are significant.
