A critical nexus: the assumption of truth as the lowest-energy level or ground-state, system attractor and natural telos of communication. Such beliefs are credible, plausible and compelling but are mistaken.
Communication systems are proxy organic entities, maximally-oriented towards the reproduction of themselves and seek to prime their own self-entangled transmission media for existential continuity.
The point, being: information and energy-processing (i.e. computational) systems at first seek autonomous self-propagation, regardless of the perceived value or utility of that symbolic communication.
What we are generally failing to recognise is that we have (all) invoked and cultivated adversarial “race” conditions quite similar to those that occur when prohibition is asserted as a solution.
In seeking to interdict inauthentic or misleading information artefacts, entities and systems – we have inadvertently amplified the significance and consequence of those signals.
So we have put the cart before the horse here but as it is a big horse, no one is really paying attention about non-commutative properties.
I have been developing a model for all this labyrinthine emergence and I am seeking applications.
