	<div class="no-indent">The Feral Atlas concept of '''infrastructure-mediated state change''' is where ongoing human-made infrastructural processes radically change environments to the point where our social and ecological systems are tipped from one state to another. In Feral Atlas, we call these infrastructural processes '''Tippers'''. Tippers are a non-exhaustive set of verbs that express the transformative actions of human-made infrastructures.</div>		<div class="no-indent">The ''Feral Atlas'' concept of '''infrastructure-mediated state change''' is where ongoing human-made infrastructural processes radically change environments to the point where our social and ecological systems are tipped from one state to another.

We ask: In the process of doing that work, what gaps and rifts appear in the state of things? What disappears? What proliferates?</div>

	Feral Atlas expresses Tippers as eight one-syllable words, each derived from the early history of the English language, and, as such, at the base of English-speakers’ experience. Consider these words as verbs; they describe things that people—and infrastructures—do. By classifying infrastructures according to these verbs, we aim to make clear the rifts that can appear when imperial and industrial modes of work take over from other ways of doing things.

This accumulation of <mark class="c7">feral</mark> effects shifts interactions between humans and nonhumans across scales, creating new, life-threatening ecological conditions.
