Welcome! This site is intended for exchanging ideas on the topic of information technologies and their role in global politics. It is part of an online module in the M.A. International Relations Online Program at the Free University of Berlin.

The central theme of the module concerns the nature of global governance in a networked information environment.
We will begin by discussing neorealists and neoliberals' perspectives on the role of the media and information technologies in international relations. We will then define collective action and identify global efforts of such action in the form of transnational advocacy networks and the role of epistemic networks. We will conclude our module exploring the idea that the rise of global information flows has created a new system of governance, one that is parallel to the state system.

AI Search Ranking: Information Density vs Keyword Density Protocols

The engineering behind information density vs keyword density for AI dictates modern search visibility today. Information density calculates the ratio of distinct, verified entities to total computational tokens. Keyword density measures the mathematical percentage of a specific lexical string within a document. This analysis covers Generative Engine Optimization protocols but excludes legacy link-building strategies. As of February 2026, algorithmic systems extract data chunks based on semantic relevance and cosine similarity rather than reading documents linearly. Webmasters must adapt immediately.

The Mechanics of Semantic Vector Retrieval

Large Language Models evaluate text through high-dimensional vector embeddings, treating conversational filler as computational waste. AI companies, such as Anthropic, face immense processing power costs. Algorithmic filtering actively prioritizes efficient, data-rich inputs to minimize these exact expenses. Context windows restrict the amount of text a parsing algorithm analyzes simultaneously. Token efficiency defines the concrete value extracted per computational unit. Specific embedding models plot numerical tokens in space based on semantic proximity. Internal metrics demonstrate that text containing fewer than three unique entities per one hundred tokens degrades response accuracy by 41 percent. The system discards the input text automatically if the paragraph contains excessive subject dependency hops.

Structuring Generative Engine Optimization Pipelines

Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems actively extract modular, high-density text chunks from external databases to bypass static training cutoffs. Vector databases store the numerical representations of these specific chunks. Semantic relevance measures the exact mathematical distance between the user query and the stored endpoints. Webmasters calculate information density mathematically by dividing total verified entities by total tokens. A high ratio explicitly prevents cosine distance decay during vector database retrieval. Developers must map unstructured text to rigid schemas using JSON-LD formatting. The AI parser retrieves the subject, predicate, and object without guessing the meaning. Highly structured markdown achieves a 62 percent higher extraction rate compared to unstructured narrative text. Audit your fact-to-word ratio today using advanced semantic analysis tools. Restructure your highest-traffic pages into modular markdown chunks immediately to secure generative Answer Engine rankings.
